Playing with Emotions: A Systematic Review Examining Emotions and Emotion Regulation in Esports...
summary
Systematic review follows PRISMA and synthesizes N=32 papers (13 on situations that elicit emotion, 15 on regulation, 4 on technical interventions) and claims emotions influence esports performance with positive emotions tending to improve outcomes while causality remains inconclusive. Players commonly use avoidance coping during fast play and lack reliable in-match strategies. Technical approaches tested include real-time biofeedback, neuroscience metrics, and speech recognition offering individualized feedback, but evidence for consistent performance gains is limited and further controlled trials are needed.
