We are currently developing an adaptive, emotional, and expressive interface agent, which learns when and how to notify users about self-assigned tasks and events. In this paper, we describe the learning system and the user feedback mechanism we have designed. Then, we discuss issues concerning the expression of emotions, in the situation where the user should not be distracted by an adaptive t...

This study examined individual differences in children's regulation of emotional expression after receiving desirable and undesirable gifts. Effortful control, the ability to suppress a dominant response in favor of a subdominant one, was measured using a battery of behavioral tasks. Reactions to the gifts were videotaped, and emotional expression was coded. Age predicted effortful control, but...

We propose to significantly extend our work in EEG-based emotion detection for automated expressive performances of algorithmically composed music for affective communication and induction. This new system involves music composed and expressively performed in real-time to induce specific affective states, based on the detection of affective state in a human listener. Machine learning algorithms...

While attention has been given to maladaptive personality traits in the sexual offending literature, little is known about how individuals who engage child abuse (CSOs) score on general traits, and subgroups of CSOs vary these traits. This study investigated (subgroups of) (n=57) as compared those nonsexual (n=33) nonoffending controls (n=36) by using HEXACO model Reinforcement Sensitivity Theo...

The current study aimed to investigate emotional intelligence as a predictor of adolescent risk participation and risk perception. While research has suggested that certain personality traits relate to adolescent risk behavior and perception, the extent to which emotional intelligence relates to risk behavior participation and perception is unknown. In addition, it is unknown to what extent emo...

Previous research has shown that typical adults demonstrate a heightened visual sensitivity to potentially threatening biological motion (Chouchourelou, Matsuka, Harber, & Shiffrar, 2006). Namely, typical adults are more sensitive to the presence of an angry point-light walker as compared to the presence of happy, fearful, sad, or neutral walkers. This is known as the anger-superiority effect. ...

In this paper, we study the role of emotions and expressive behaviour in socially interactive characters employed in educational games. More specifically, on how we can use such emotional behaviour to help users to better understand the game state. An emotion model for these characters, which is mainly influenced by the current state of the game and is based on the emotivector anticipatory mech...

This study tested the hypothesis that coping through emotional approach, which involves actively processing and expressing emotions, enhances adjustment and health status for breast cancer patients. Patients (n = 92) completed measures within 20 weeks following medical treatment and 3 months later. Women who, at study entry, coped through expressing emotions surrounding cancer had fewer medical...
