An Investigation on the Audio-Video Data Based Estimation of Emotion Regulation Difficulties and Their Association With Mental Disorders

It is reported that emotion regulation difficulties (ERD) happen to characterize several mental disorders. This finding made based on self-report measures. For enhancing the diagnosis of disorders, use additional modalities such as audio-video recordings has been explored in literature. In this study, we present a novel attempt estimate ERD using data. The role estimated data assessing disorders also investigated. study performed locally collected dataset which comprises and self-reported responses set questionnaires. recorded while human participants are conversing with an interactive system context specific questionnaire. validation purposes, created benchmarked against existing publicly available corpus. Two different ways devised experimented for estimating ERD. Further, used intermediate representation assessment severity level opted namely major depressive disorder (MDD) post-traumatic stress (PTSD). Towards validating efficacy proposed data-based estimation its impact MDD/PTSD estimation, perform correlation analysis among them find it exhibit similar trends those obtained demonstrates can be MDD/PTSD.
