Emotional state transition model based on stimulus and personality characteristics

In order to use mathematical methods to study how cognitive reappraisal strategies affect the output state of emotions, Gross´s cognitive reappraisal strategy is transformed into a quantitative parameter which is proposed to describe the general perception of emotional events on the basis of the emotion regulation. According to Gross´s emotional regulation model, the Finite State Machine (FSM) model is used for describing the process of emotional state transition and the Likert 5 grading scale is introduced to study the level of an individual´s reappraisal according to the participant´s self-evaluation. The experimental results verify that the algorithm can effectively describe the relationship between the reappraisal strategy, emotional events and an emotiongenerative process. There are multiple dimensions of a human´s emotional state. Thus, in the field of human-computer interaction, further research requires the development of a specific algorithm which can be implemented by a computer for the emotion regulation process.
