Variables Influencing the Intensity of Simulated Affective States
نویسنده
چکیده
An important, yet minimally explored, aspect of emotion simulation is the way in which changes in emotion eliciting situations can give rise to different intensities in the resulting emotion instances. Usin~ the work of Ortony, etal. [Ortony e~ al., 1988J as a guide, we propose a set of emotion inLe~siLy ~ariables to be used in modeling the causes of varying emotion intensity, and discuss their implementation within the coarse-grained simulation environment of the Affective Reasoner [Elliott, 1992], a program that reasons about emotion. These variables, our motivation for selecting them, and portions of two functions which use them in computing simulated emotion intensities, are presented in this paper.

This study examined Omani EFL learners’ perceptions toward their willingness to communicate (WTC) in English. To this end, 204 students majoring in English language at a private university in Oman were assigned a questionnaire adapted from McCroskey’s (1992) WTC scale to determine possible effects of communication and affective variables on their WTC in English. After assessing the normality di...
متن کاملThe Influence of Affective States on Cognitive BroadeningNarrowing: Considering the Importance of Motivational Intensity
Decades of research suggested that positive affective states broaden cognitive processes, whereas negative affective states narrow cognitive processes. More recent research suggests, however, that these conclusions may be premature. These past experiments often compared positive affects low in motivational intensity with negative affects high in motivational intensity. These past experiments, t...
متن کاملIdentifying the Determinant Factors Influencing S Index in Calcereous Soils Using Anneling Simulated– Artificial Neural Network Hybrid Algorithm
Use of the curve gradient of the Soil Water Retention Curves (SWRC) in the inflection point (S Index) is one of the main indices for assessing the soil quality for management objectives in agricultural and garden lands. In this study Anneling Simulated – artificial neural network (SA-ANN) hybrid algorithm was used to identify the most effective soil features on estimation of S Index in Jiroft p...
متن کاملToward an understanding of the influence of affective states on attentional tuning: comment on Friedman and Förster (2010).
Friedman and Förster (2010) reviewed an extensive program of research that was consistent with the view that positive affective states broaden, whereas negative affective states narrow, the scope of attention. We applaud their creative investigations into these important psychological questions and appreciate their thorough review. However, recent evidence strongly suggests that the conclusions...
متن کاملAffective Computing and the Impact of Gender and Age.
Affective computing aims at the detection of users' mental states, in particular, emotions and dispositions during human-computer interactions. Detection can be achieved by measuring multimodal signals, namely, speech, facial expressions and/or psychobiology. Over the past years, one major approach was to identify the best features for each signal using different classification methods. Althoug...
