Instant messaging (IM) is a highly diffused form of communication among younger populations, yet little is known about the emotional experience during IM. The present study aimed to investigate the emotional experience during IM by measuring HR and EDA in addition to self-reports and by manipulating message latency (i.e., response after 1 minute versus 7 minutes) and message valence (positive versus negative response). Based on data collected from 65 young adults (50% male; Mage = 23.28, SD = 3.75), we found no change in HR during IM. However, we found an increase in participants’ EDA levels from the time a fictitious peer started typing a response to the receipt of that response, especially in the delayed condition. EDA levels also increased in both the positive and the negative message conditions. Combining physiological EDA measures with the self-report evaluation of the IM situation revealed that positive measures were evaluated as more pleasant, while no difference in the self-report evaluation was found for message latency. These findings shed light on the psychophysiological processes underlying the anticipation of social reward in the context of incoming notifications in smartphone-mediated communication.
