The manipulation of emotions has some real dangers [Ekman, 1991]. What if the Affective Tigger became permanently depressed and the owner couldn't snap him out of it?

Might she become emotionally manipulative as a result of extended interaction with the Affective Tigger? These are a important questions which need further research.
