background: the unified treatment approach (up), an emotion-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy that holds emotional processes as a central target of treatment, is applicable for disorders with strong emotional components. the aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of emotion regulation intervention derivative from the up on emotional problems and quality of life among patients wit...

In light of recent research and empirical findings a new view on emotion and affect has surfaced. Within this view ‘feeling’ (core affect) is separated from ‘emotion’ (psychological construction). This model appears to be a good candidate for a computation model of affect and emotion. We argue that fuzzy logic is the perfect tool for its implementation, for the modeling of core affect dynamics,...

Emotion recognition from facial images is a very active research topic in human computer interaction (HCI). However, most of the previous approaches only focus on the frontal or nearly frontal view facial images. In contrast to the frontal/nearly-frontal view images, emotion recognition from non-frontal view or even arbitrary view facial images is much more difficult yet of more practical utili...

Risk-taking has an important role in human’s life, either positive or negative. Thus, finding a method to control or drive this in a particular way could affect individuals and communities’ health by discouraging negative risks such as reckless driving or encouraging positive risks. Emotion induction is one of the methods that can enhance or reinforce risk-taking according to the perceived emot...

The authors demonstrate that people differ systematically in their implicit theories of emotion: Some view emotions as fixed (entity theorists), whereas others view emotions as more malleable (incremental theorists). Using a longitudinal and multimethod design, the authors show that implicit theories of emotion, as distinct from intelligence, are linked to both emotional and social adjustment d...

This paper argues that emotions can play an epistemic role as justifiers of evaluative beliefs. It also presents the heuristics theory emotion empirically informed explanation how such a and why they in practice usefully complement non-affective judgments. As such, represents form moderate rationalism: it acknowledges be epistemically valuable, even privileged some sense, but denies would uniqu...

Research indicates that people value music primarily because of the emotions it evokes. Yet, the notion of musical emotions remains controversial, and researchers have so far been unable to offer a satisfactory account of such emotions. We argue that the study of musical emotions has suffered from a neglect of underlying mechanisms. Specifically, researchers have studied musical emotions withou...
