Emotion cause extraction (ECE) task that aims at extracting potential trigger events of certain emotions has attracted extensive attention recently. However, current work neglects the implicit emotion expressed without any explicit emotional keywords, which appears more frequently in application scenarios. The lack information makes it extremely hard to extract causes only with local context. M...

The ability to adaptively regulate emotion is essential for mental and physical well-being. How should we organize the myriad ways people attempt to regulate their emotions? We explore the utility of a framework that distinguishes among four fundamental classes of emotion regulation strategies. The framework describes each strategy class in terms their behavioral characteristics, underlying psy...

Recent work has extended the idea of implicit self-theories to the realm of emotion to assess beliefs in the malleability of emotions. The current article expanded on prior measurement of emotion beliefs in a scale development project. Items were tested and revised over rounds of data collection with both students and nonstudent adult online participants. Exploratory and confirmatory factor ana...

BACKGROUND Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for social anxiety disorder (SAD) and other internalizing conditions attempts to improve emotion regulation. Accumulating data indicate anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and to a lesser extent amygdala, activation in various tasks predicts treatment outcome. However, little is known about ACC and amygdala activation to emotion regulation in predictin...

The ability to recognize emotions contained in facial expressions are affected by both affective traits and states and varies widely between individuals. While affective traits are stable in time, affective states can be regulated more rapidly by environmental stimuli, such as music, that indirectly modulate the brain state. Here, we tested whether a relaxing or irritating sound environment aff...

This paper presents the overview of NTCIR-13 emotion cause analysis (ECA) task. This task is designed to evaluate the emotion cause analysis techniques which automatically determine whether a clause contain the cause of emotion expression. Unlike the regular evaluation tasks on sentiment analysis or emotion classification, this evaluation task focus on exploring the cause stimulate the emotion....

How does intergroup anxiety affect the activation of implicit racial evaluations and stereotypes? Given the common basis of social anxiety and implicit evaluative processes in memory systems linked to classical conditioning and affect, we predicted that intergroup anxiety would amplify implicit negative racial evaluations. Implicit stereotyping, which is associated primarily with semantic memor...

The effect of different intensities of vocal emotion on event related potentials has yet not been studied. We therefore investigated 16 healthy participants with emotion and sound decision on neutral and happy voice which varied continuously in intensity. The result found that neutral and happy voice can be differentiated on P2 component under both explicit and implicit condition. Moreover, the...
