• Abstract summary: The purpose of requirements engineering (RE) is to make sure that the expectations and needs of the stakeholders of a software system are met. Emotional needs can be captured as emotional requirements that represent how the end user should feel when using the system. This study is motivated by the need to explore and map the literature on emotional requirements.

• Abstract: The purpose of requirements engineering (RE) is to make sure that the expectations and needs of the stakeholders of a software system are met. Emotional needs can be captured as emotional requirements that represent how the end user should feel when using the system. Differently from functional and quality (non-functional) requirements, emotional requirements have received relatively less attention from the RE community. This study is motivated by the need to explore and map the literature on emotional requirements. The study applies the systematic mapping study technique for surveying and analyzing the available literature to identify the most relevant publications on emotional requirements. We identified 34 publications that address a wide spectrum of practices concerned with engineering emotional requirements. The identified publications were analyzed with respect to the application domains, instruments used for eliciting and artefacts used for representing emotional requirements, and the state of the practice in emotion-related requirements engineering. This analysis serves to identify research gaps and research directions in engineering emotional requirements. To the best of the knowledge by the authors, no other similar study has been conducted on emotional requirements.
