Abstract

The first step in the literature search was finding relevant papers that dealt with reactance in the context of human–computer interaction. In order to find such papers, a literature search was performed in the ACM digital library (https://scholar.google.com/) publication database, Google Scholar (https://dl.acm.org/), as well as in ScienceDirect (https://www.sciencedirect.com/) and also in the references of identified papers. The results of the research that is described in Chaps. 2 and  3 have been published in  [7]. The texts in this chapter roughly follow the published paper but data has been reanalyzed. That publication also includes the publications [5, 6] which were published by the author of this thesis. These publications cover experiments that are presented in Chaps. 4 and  8 and are therefore not included in the current literature analysis.
