This was observed even in the case of subliminal distortions for which subjects did not consciously detect the presence of a distortion. Our…

In an experiment (N = 38), participants used a joystick to control game objects, and gave self-reports of their emotional states and feeling of control. Pathway analyses predicting the factors of emotional experience with event logs reveal that feeling of control …
