the aim of this study was to compare the intensity of pre-competition emotion in athletes with type a and b behavior patterns. out of 108 wrestlers participating in iranian national championships (2005), 32 wrestlers were selected as subjects by global bortner scale. then, 16 subjects with high scores (mean 6.45±0.31) formed type a athletes group and 16 with low scores (mean 3.69 ± 0.47) were c...

An important, yet minimally explored, aspect of emotion simulation is the way in which changes in emotion eliciting situations can give rise to diierent intensities in the resulting emotion instances. Using the work of Ortony, et al. Ortony et al., 1988] as a guide, we propose a set of emotion intensity variables to be used in modeling the causes of varying emotion intensity , and discuss their...

In control vector-based expressive speech synthesis, the emotion/style control vector defined in the categorical (CAT) emotion space is uneasy to be precisely defined by the user to synthesize the speech with the desired emotion/style. This paper applies the arousal-valence (AV) space to the multiple regression hidden semi-Markov model (MRHSMM)-based synthesis framework for expressive speech sy...

Emotion can be communicated through multiple distinct modalities. However, an often-ignored channel of communication is posture. Recent research indicates that bodily posture plays an important role in the perception of emotion. However, research examining postural communication of emotion is limited by the variety of validated emotion poses and unknown cohesion of categorical and dimensional r...

As an increasingly powerful computation platform, today’s off-theshelf smartphones are able to handle more sophisticated mobile sensing tasks, such as emotion sensing. Although numerous emotion detection technologies have been developed, the unpredictable variation of a person’s emotion raises the demand of sensing emotion in a mobile fashion. Also, detecting emotion is difficult, since people ...

The theoretical model of emotion regulation and many empirical findings have suggested that children's emotion regulation may mediate the association between parents' emotion socialization and children's psychological adjustment. However, limited research has been conducted on moderators of these relations, despite the argument that the associations between parenting practices and children's ps...

We tested two competing models for the brain basis of emotion, the basic emotion theory and the conceptual act theory of emotion, using resting-state functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fcMRI). The basic emotion view hypothesizes that anger, sadness, fear, disgust and happiness each arise from a brain network that is innate, anatomically constrained and homologous in other an...

Objective: Our study aims to examine the mediating role of prosocial moral reasoning, emotion regulation, and emotion lability in the relation between temperamental characteristics and prosocial behaviour. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, a sample of 202 students were recruited through random multistage sampling method. The participants were interviewed about their prosocial moral reasonin...
