- Description
- Technological advances in the field of smart consumer devices such as phones, wristbands, and watches facilitate real time acquisition of physiological data, for instance, for purposes of entertainment or to improve health or performance. With recent technology, even information about another person's physiological state can be acquired unobtrusively, which we refer to as foreign live biofeedback (FLBF). The behavioral effects of such information on human interactions, however, represent mostly unchartered territory. Particularly for scenarios that rely on interpersonal trust, FLBF may have a considerable influence on human behavior. Based on the well-established investment game, we present results from a controlled lab experiment considering how the availability of FLBF affects behavior - both for trustors and trustees. We find that the availability of FLBF is associated with a decrease of trust and trustworthiness as well as increased perceptions of surveillance. We discuss these findings in view of user privacy and data sovereignty, shedding light on the potential detrimental effects of FLBF as a technological feature in social interaction.
