Neurological evidence was uncovered by A. Demasio revealing the existence of ‘emotional intelligence’ and its importance. Following this breakthrough many computational models of emotions were developed. Although, psychological research on emotions recognized memory and experience as the main factors that define and shape the complexity of the emotional process, existing computational models of...

Automatic detection and identifying emotions in large call center calls are essential to spot conversations that require further action. Most often statistical models generated using annotated emotional speech are used to design an emotion detection system. But annotation requires substantial amount of human intervention and cost; and may not be available for call center calls because of the in...

This article provides a review of research on the hemispheric specialization in emotional processing during the past 40 years and the theoretical models derived from the conceptual analysis of these results. The publications reviewed here were collected to better appreciate the cortical lateralization of emotional perception (visual and auditory), expression (facial and prosodic), and experienc...

This article focuses on the processes that lead to awareness of our own emotions, which deserve particular attention in contemporary models of emotional consciousness. The subjective component of emotion, or emotional experience, was for a long time the most neglected aspect in the study of emotions although it already constituted the initial point of discussion in the famous William James stil...

The underlying latent structure of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is widely researched. However, despite a plethora of factor analytic studies, no single model has consistently been shown as superior to alternative models. The two most often supported models are the Emotional Numbing and the Dysphoria models. However, a recently proposed five-factor Dysphoric Arousal model has been gather...

Emotional arousal during relationship conflict is a major target for intervention in couple therapies. The current study examines changes in conflict-related emotional arousal in 104 couples that participated in a randomized clinical trial of two behaviorally-based couple therapies. Emotional arousal is measured using mean fundamental frequency of spouse's speech, and changes in emotional arous...

Rachman's (1980) analysis [Rachman, S. (1980). Emotional processing. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 18, 51-60] of emotional processing is extended and applied to the prevention of relapse and recurrence in depression. It is proposed that effective emotional processing leads to changes in the ability of triggering cues to reactivate depressogenic processing cycles at times of potential relapse....

There is a great variety of theoretical models of emotions and implementation technologies which can be used in the design of affective computers. Consequently, designers and researchers usually made practical choices of models and develop ad-hoc solutions that sometimes lack flexibility. In this paper we introduce a generic approach to modeling emotional cues. The main component of our approac...

Title of Dissertation: Applications of Dweck’s Model of Implicit Theories to Teachers’ Self-Efficacy and Emotional Experiences Alexis Ymon Williams, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Professor Kathryn R. Wentzel Department of Human Development and Quantitative Methodology The current study explored Dweck’s (1999; Dweck & Leggett, 1988) model of implicit theories in the context of teaching...

Many models of judgment and decision-making posit distinct cognitive and emotional contributions to decision-making under uncertainty. Cognitive processes typically involve exact computations according to a cost-benefit calculus, whereas emotional processes typically involve approximate, heuristic processes that deliver rapid evaluations without mental effort. However, it remains largely unknow...
