Described are a method for evaluating an emotional transfer using an electrocardiogram and an apparatus thereof. The method for evaluating an emotional transfer comprises the steps of: detecting ECG raw signals of two subjects in a social interaction relationship by using an ECG sensor; sampling the ECG raw signals at a predetermined sampling frequency to extract a digitized ECG signal; extracting an R-peak to R-peak interval (RRI) from the ECG signal; extracting a heart rhythm pattern (HRP) from the RRI; calculating a correlation coefficient (r) by using the HRP of the two subjects; and evaluating the emotional transfer between the two subjects by using the correlation coefficient (r). According to the present invention, it is possible to quantitatively measure emotional transfer.
