- Abstract
In modern society, several adverse factors, such as unemployment, job-related stress, economic challenges, and societal traumas, have a significant impact on individuals' emotions. As a result, emotion regulation techniques, such as face-to-face therapies and meditation, have emerged. However, accessibility issues often prevent individuals from accessing these methods due to socioeconomic factors. Consequently, there's been a rise in the "happiness industry," which promotes happiness through therapy narratives and smartphone applications like Goddess and Meditopia. This study investigates user experiences with such applications by analyzing feedback from the Google Play store, employing the MAXQDA 2018 software for coding and analysis. These applications purport that self-awareness facilitates emotional management, providing users with essential social support and tranquility to navigate anxiety and stress. However, the study does not assess the efficacy of these applications but rather aims to comprehend user experiences through their feedback. This study examines user experiences with such applications by analyzing comments on the Google Play store. Users seek emotional support and tranquility to cope with anxiety and stress, often praising these apps for facilitating relaxation and alleviating stress. Further research is recommended to deepen our understanding of the evolving phenomenon of emotion regulation in cyberspace, while acknowledging its limitations.
