Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a model which detects workplace stress just from how people type and move their computer mouse. Their results show that workers dealing with stress show an increasing number of typing mistakes. They also make more erratic mouse movements than usual. Researchers monitored 90 participants in a lab as they performed office tasks which were as close as possible to the real thing. These tasks included scheduling appointments, recording data, and doing paperwork. How we type on our keyboard and move our mouse seems to be a better predictor of how stressed we feel in an office environment than our heart rate. Nägelin believes the reason heart rate is a poor measure of workplace stress because everyone successfully performs the same tasks. However, the stressed people moved the mouse pointer more often and less precisely and cover longer distances on the screen. Relaxed people, on the other hand, take shorter, more direct routes to reach their destination.
