While emotional outcome is a critical factor influencing early evolution and late prognosis after stroke, few relevant studies have been performed on this subject. However, mood changes, modified judgment, and emotional reactions may also dramatically alter recruitment into clinical trials; for instance, up to one third of patients with acute stroke may have altered time perception, inappropria...

Nowadays Personal Informatics (PI) devices are used for sensing and saving personal data, everywhere and at any time, helping people improve their lives by highlighting areas of good and bad performances and providing a general awareness of different levels of conduct. However, not all these data are suitable to be automatically collected. This is especially true for emotions and mood. Moreover...

Mobile telephones were used to collect data on the relationship between gambling and mood state from gamblers in the field. Seventeen gamblers called an interactive voice response system running on a computer before, during and after a gambling episode. Measures taken in this way included self-reports of anxiety/arousal, the amount of money gambled, whether the result was a win or loss, the amo...

Emotions are central to the experience of literary narrative fiction. Affect and mood can influence what book people choose, based partly on whether their goal is to change or maintain their current emotional state. Once having chosen a book, the narrative itself acts to evoke and transform emotions, both directly through the events and characters depicted and through the cueing of emotionally ...

The aim of this paper is to present a method to elicit learner’s emotions during the learning process making use of an ontology. The elicitation of emotions is based on a formal representation of emotions using an appropriate designed ontology and it is achieved by a combinational probabilistic machine learning method. The development of this ontology serves not only as a basis for the formal r...

The topic of emotion regulation has been of interest since Freud (1923) began to examine the relationship between the control of affective impulses and psychic health ( Krohne et al., 2002) . The emerging field of emotion regulation studies how individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, a...

This study examined emotional experience and regulation in individuals who had experienced psychosis, individuals experiencing anxiety or mood disorders, and non-patient controls. Participants completed validated measures of ...

Emotional contagion has been defined as a tendency to mimic the emotions and non-verbal expressions of others, thus becoming ‘infected’ with another’s emotional state. In an organisational context, emotional contagion has been examined from both a group and leadership perspective. Previous authors have examined emotional contagion from leaders to followers, but no study to date has examined emo...

Imaging studies investigating the default-mode network (DMN) of the brain revealed the phenomenon of elevated neural responses during periods of rest. This effect has been shown to be abnormally elevated in regions of the DMN concerning mood disorders like major depressive disorder (MDD). Since these disorders are accompanied by impaired emotional functioning, this leads to the suggestion of an...

High- and low-trait socially anxious individuals classified the emotional expressions of photographic quality continua of interpolated ("morphed") facial images that were derived from combining 6 basic prototype emotional expressions to various degrees, with the 2 adjacent emotions arranged in an emotion hexagon. When fear was 1 of the 2 component emotions, the high-trait group displayed enhanc...
