Emotional Determinants of Cyborg Technology Use Intentions

Carmen T. Bassler's study investigates emotional responses to invasive and noninvasive cyborg technologies. The dataset likely contains results from an experimental vignette design with 624 participants, comparing usage intentions for wearables and implants. It was published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze mediating effects of fear, joy, and disgust on technology adoption based on the emotional variables described.
• Compare usage intention differences between wearables and implants based on the experimental design.
• Model technology acceptance factors incorporating specific emotions as explanatory variables.

Strengths

• Experimental design with 624 participants provides a sample for analysis.
• Examines three distinct emotions (fear, joy, disgust) as mediators.
• File size of 4.5 MB suggests a manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is a PDF file, which may require extraction to access structured data.
