The five-point scale is a method of expressing assessments that are fundamentally continuous in nature as five discrete points. Though quantitative data is a necessity for statistical analysis, it is possible that this does not entirely accurately reflect the feelings of those surveyed. We considered that in order to avoid that possibility, it may be possible to substitute fundamentally unquantifiable measurements, such as emotional assessment, with more quantifiable ones as a method of more intuitively and quantifiably measuring feelings. To that end, we wondered if it might be possible to use the sensors in people’s smartphones as a ubiquitous and always close-at-hand device that is capable of making quantitative measurements. In this research, we focus on the sensors with which smartphones are equipped, proposing, and investigating the effectiveness of, the measurement and numerical analysis of the force with which a device is shaken as a more direct means of conducting emotional assessment and that succeeded.
