Background: In eating disorders, a negative body image can be manifested in an overestimation of one’s own body dimensions (perceptive component), negative body-related thoughts and feelings (cognitive-affective component), and body avoidance and checking (behavioral component). Objective: This study examines whether these three components of a disturbed body image can be improved by means of a...

In this article, we have defined a novel task of affective feedback synthesis that generates for input text and corresponding images in way similar to humans responding multimodal data. A system has been proposed trained using ground-truth human comments along with image–text input. We also constructed large-scale dataset consisting images, text, Twitter user comments, the number likes by crawl...

Input parameter evaluation for affective image classification using dimensional affective groups is proposed against the existing researches that use discrete affective groups which are not accurate enough due to not covering all three emotional vectors Valence, Arousal and Dominance. We obtain dimensional affective groups by clustering the known emotional vectors of International Affective Pic...

  Purpose: To recognize affective factors in delivering X-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   Materials and Methods: Since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). X-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   Results: Rad...

Various components of body image were measured to assess body image disturbances in patients with obesity. To overcome limitations of previous studies, a photo distortion technique and a biological motion distortion device were included to assess static and dynamic aspects of body image. Questionnaires assessed cognitive-affective aspects, bodily attitudes, and eating behavior. Patients with ob...

The present study examines the utility of distinguishing nutritional characteristics in implicit and explicit affective evaluations of foods, both nomothetically and idiographically. To this end, we employ indirect and direct versions of the affect misattribution procedure (AMP; Payne, Cheng, Govorun, & Stewart, 2005) to assess affective evaluations of foods that vary along dimensions of added ...

This research aims to investigate the relationship of travel motivation, familiarity, travel constraints, image with the travel intention of Chinese non-visitors to Thailand. A survey questionnaire and a non-probability convenience sampling were used as the research instrument and research technique. A total of 410 respondents, all Chinese non-visitors to Thailand, were selected on the Golden H...

In this paper we analyze the relations between the latent factors with high variance description and affective parameters in an image recommender system. Using the matrix factorization approach we identify the main two factors in the user-item rating database. We exploit the affective metadata related to each item to identify relations between the main factors and the affective metadata. Result...
