• Research problems in the use of a shallow Artificial Intelligence model of personality and emotion.
• This paper presents an overview of some open research problems in the representation of emotion on computers. The issues discussed arise in the context of a broad, albeit shallow, emotion reasoning platform based originally on the ideas of Ortony, Clore, and Collins Ortony, Clore, & Collins1988 . In addressing these problems we hope to (1) correct and expand our content theory of emotion, and pseudo personality, which underlies all aspects of the research; (2) answer feasibility questions regarding a usable representation of the emotion domain in the computer, and (3) build agents capable of emotional interaction with users. ... Issues pertaining to affective user modeling, an expert system on emotion eliciting situations, the building of a sympathetic computer, models of relationship, personality in games, and the motivation behind the study of emotion on computers are discussed. ...

• ) People who regard emotions in this manner find it difficult to control or change an emotion because a) there appear to be no means for controlling a natural, irrational, autonomous process, and b) any attempt at controlling or changing an emotion is misguided because it would be tantamount to denying the self (Kleinman & Good, 1985, pp. ...
• The bourgeoisie was the first class to fully develop this kind of emotion because their economic roles cultivated individualism by allowing for individual responsibility and creativity, their material wealth enabled them to participate in consumerism, and they had the resources to establish a comfortable domestic domicile outside work where personal relations could be cultivated. ...

• Cognitive Level (this is the label or name associated with the emotion).
• For example, if your boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with you, you experience some type of emotion, like sadness. Then, you experience this emotion along the pleasantness and strength dimensions - if you loved this person, you may experience sadness that is very unpleasant and intense (strength).

• JAMES-LANGE THEORY OF EMOTION.
• James and Lange (a Danish physiologist) proposed the same explanation of emotion at about same time - thus the theory was named for both of them. ...
• A common sense idea about emotion would be:.
• Environmental influence (some event) ---> Psychological experience ---> Physiological state changes (emotion).
• is that the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion. ...
• d) physiological arousal may occur without the experience of an emotion:.
• Emotion occurs when the thalamus sends signals to BOTH the cortex (which produces conscious experience of emotion) and autonomic nervous system (visceral arousal) at the same time.

• We feel some emotion. To really understand what emotion we are having at that particular time, we use the cues in the environment at the time to help us determine the current emotion. ...

• An observer could interpret the robot's behavior as aggressive as if the robot felt a negative emotion toward the light source. When sensors and motors are wired so as to linger near the source and not damage the robot, the behavior could be interpreted as a more favorable emotion. ...
• However, as Minsky suggested, we doubt whether machines can be intelligent without emotions (which doesn't mean emotion models but emotional appearance of behavior in observer's view) Therefore, we consider that emergent emotions are key for intelligence. ...

• The results will have profound consequences for understanding the neurobiology underlying positive emotion, our concept of health, the prevention of disease and the promotion of resilience. ...

• The analysis of adaptive problems that arose ancestrally has led evolutionary psychologists to apply the concepts and methods of the cognitive sciences to scores of topics that are relevant to the study of emotion, such as the cognitive processes that govern cooperation, sexual attraction, jealousy, aggression, parental love, friendship, romantic love, the aesthetics of landscape preferences, coalitional aggression, incest avoidance, disgust, predator avoidance, kinship, and family relations (for reviews, see Barkow, Cosmides, & Tooby, 1992; Crawford & Krebs, 1998; Daly & Wilson, 1988; Pinker, 1997).
• In this chapter we will (1) briefly state what we think emotions are and what adaptive problem they were designed to solve; (2) explain the evolutionary and cognitive principles that led us to this view; and (3) using this background, explicate in a more detailed way the design of emotion programs and the states they create.
• This coordinated adjustment and entrainment of mechanisms is a mode of operation for the entire psychological architecture, and serves as the basis for a precise computational and functional definition of each emotion state (Tooby & Cosmides, 1990a; Tooby, 1985). Each emotion entrains various other adaptive programs - deactivating some, activating others, and adjusting the modifiable parameters of still others - so that the whole system operates in a particularly harmonious and efficacious way when the individual is confronting certain kinds of triggering conditions or situations. ... , circumstances in which the independent operation of programs caused no conflicts would not have selected for an emotion program, and would lead to emotionally neutral states of mind); (3) had a rich and reliable repeated structure; (4) had recognizable cues signaling their presence; and (5) in which an error would have resulted in large fitness costs (Tooby & Cosmides, 1990a; Tooby, 1985). When a condition or situation of an evolutionarily recognizable kind is detected, a signal is sent out from the emotion program that activates the specific constellation of subprograms appropriate to solving the type of adaptive problems that were regularly embedded in that situation, and deactivates programs whose operation might interfere with solving those types of adaptive problem. Programs directed to remain active may be cued to enter subroutines that are specific to that emotion mode, and that were tailored by natural selection to solve the problems inherent in the triggering situation with special efficiency.
• According to this theoretical framework, an emotion is a superordinate program whose function is to direct the activities and interactions of the subprograms governing perception; attention; inference; learning; memory; goal choice; motivational priorities; categorization and conceptual frameworks; physiological reactions (such as heart rate, endocrine function, immune function, gamete release); reflexes; behavioral decision rules; motor systems; communication processes; energy level and effort allocation; affective coloration of events and stimuli; recalibration of probability estimates, situation assessments, values, and regulatory variables (e. ... An emotion is not reducible to any one category of effects, such as effects on physiology, behavioral inclinations, cognitive appraisals, or feeling states, because it involves evolved instructions for all of them together, as well as other mechanisms distributed throughout the human mental and physical architecture.
• Emotion programs, for example, have a front end that is designed to detect evolutionarily reliable cues that a situation exists (whether or not these cues reliably signal the presence of that situation in the modern world); when triggered, they entrain a specific set of subprograms: those that natural selection "chose" as most useful for solving the problems that situation posed in ancestral environments. ...
• The emotion mode is a fear of being stalked. (In this conceptualization of emotion, there might be several distinct emotion modes that are lumped together under the folk category "fear", but that are computationally and empirically distinguishable by the different constellation of programs each entrains. ...
• Whether individuals report consciously experiencing fear is a separate question from whether their mechanisms assumed the characteristic configuration that, according to this theoretical approach, defines the fear emotion state. Individuals often behave as if they are in the grip of an emotion, while denying they are feeling that emotion. We think it is perfectly possible that individuals sometimes remain unaware of their emotion states, which is one reason we do not use subjective experience as the sine qua non of emotion. At present, both the function of conscious awareness, and the principles that regulate conscious access to emotion states and other mental programs are complex and unresolved questions. Mapping the design features of emotion programs can proceed independently of their resolution, at least for the present. ...
