Automatic personality recognition is useful for many computational applications, including recommendation systems, dating websites, and adaptive dialogue systems. There have been numerous successful approaches to classify the “Big Five” personality traits from a speaker’s utterance, but these have largely relied on judgments of personality obtained from external raters listening to the utteranc...

Population-based behavioral genetics has demonstrated that genotype and behavior can be expected to covary. Although the epigenetic developmental pathways linking gene products to complex behavior will in general be almost unimaginably complex, modern molecular genetics has made it possible to detect small covariations between alleles and behavior that span the complexity of the causal network....

OBJECTIVE Researchers have previously reported that law students and medical students experience significant distress during their first year. The authors suspected that freshmen undergraduates might experience similar distress in their transition to college. PARTICIPANTS They surveyed 242 undergraduate freshmen at the beginning and end of their first year. METHODS The authors asked partici...

We investigate the role of the robot’s personality, empathy, and physiological signals in the hands-off therapy process, focusing mainly on the relationship between the level of extroversion-introversion of ...

We have evaluated the level of state and trait anxiety, neuroticism, extroversion and coping style as predictors of the effectiveness of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) in 110 patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy. After operation patients were allocated to receive pain control with either PCA or i.m. injections (IMI). Pain was assessed using the short form McGill pain questionnai...

In today’s dynamic and volatile global environment, established legacy concepts such as Virtual Organisations (VOs) need to be evolved to enhance their agility in order to promptly adapt to changes. This paper proposes the use of the Sensing Enterprise concept and properties, supported by the paradigms of the Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems and Future Internet Enterprise Systems, as ...

Individual characteristics of human nature (e.g. introversion, extroversion, mood, activity, adaptability, aggressiveness, social ability, anxiety) do not need to be primarily innate. They can be determined by the action of various influences and their interactions on functional development of the brain. There is ample epidemiological and experimental evidence that chemical and/or physical fact...
