Recent theorizations on the cognitive process of moral judgment have focused on the role of intuitions and emotions, marking a departure from previous emphasis on conscious, step-by-step reasoning. My study investigated how being in a disgusted mood state affects moral judgment. Participants were induced to enter a disgusted mood state through listening to disgusting sounds and reading disgusti...

Positive emotions are often treated as relatively similar in their cognitive-behavioral effects, and as having unambiguously beneficial consequences. For example, Valdesolo and DeSteno (2006) reported that a humorous video made people more prone to choose a utilitarian solution to a moral dilemma. They attributed this finding to increased positive affect. To determine whether such results actua...

In keeping with cognitive appraisal models of emotion, it was hypothesized that sadness and anger would exert different influences on causal judgments. Two experiments provided initial support for this hypothesis. Sad Ss perceived situationally caused events as more likely (Experiment 1) and situational forces more responsible for an ambiguous event (Experiment 2) than angry Ss, who, in contras...

The location of verbally reported feelings in a three-dimensional affective space is determined by the results of appraisal processes that elicit the respective states. One group of participants rated their evaluation of 59 pictures from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) on a profile of nine appraisal criteria. Another group rated their affective reactions to the same pictures o...

ElectroEncephaloGraphy signals have been studied in relation to emotion even prior to the establishment of Affective Computing as a research area. Technological advancements in the sensor and network communication technology allowed EEG collection during interaction with low obtrusiveness levels as opposed to earlier work which classified physiological signals as the most obtrusive modality in ...

The implementation of large-scale mental health care requires low-cost, highaccuracy screening methods. Reporting bias cannot be eliminated from the self-administered screening methods that are currently in general use, and screening using biomarkers, which has seen remarkable developments in recent years, remains costly.Mental disorders resulting from stress alter the expression of emotion and...

People are often profoundly moved by the virtue or skill of others, yet psychology has little to say about the 'other-praising' family of emotions. Here we demonstrate that emotions such as elevation, gratitude, and admiration differ from more commonly studied forms of positive affect (joy and amusement) in many ways, and from each other in a few ways. The results of studies using recall, video...

comorbidity between borderline personality disorder and substance abuse disorder is very high. the present study examined the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on negative emotion regulation strategies in women with borderline personality disorder and substance abuse. based on the willingness to participate in the research, structured clinical interview and the criteria for inclusio...

The kinematics of peoples' body movements provide useful cues about emotional states: for example, angry are typically fast and sad slow. Unlike the movement literature, studies facial expressions have focused on spatial, rather than kinematic, cues. This series experiments demonstrates that speed comprises an important emotion expression cue. In Experiments 1a-1c we developed (N = 47) validate...

Emotions are the accelerators of human intellect and innovation creativity, so ability to recognize emotions is in high demand. Real-time hardware has hurdles Noise factors as compared simulations. An electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor (AD8232), a temperature (LM35), signal processing circuit proposed real-time emotion identification. The RR intervals calculated from ECG data. prediction using mach...
