I did some research together with Dario on whether MoodBar had a positive effect on retention. The findings were positive and were presented at CSCW in 2015:
https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2675181&CFID=957153849&CFTOKEN=56379720 (arxiv link here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.1496) My only concern is whether somebody wanted to replicate the results of that paper; I haven't received any such request so far. And I guess that all those who could be possibly interested in doing so would probably be on this list anyway. So I guess that if there is no objection I am OK with the deletion too.
