Emotion Recognition Depends on Subjective Emotional Experience and Not on Facial
Emotion recognition depends on subjective emotional experience and not on facial expressivity: evidence from traumatic brain injury Travis Wearne1, Katherine Osborne-Crowley1, Hannah Rosenberg1, Marie Dethier2 & Skye McDonald1 1 School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, Australia 2 Department of Psychology: Cognition and Behavior, University of Liege, Liege, Belgium Correspondence: Dr Travis A Wearne, School of Psychology, University of New South Wales, NSW, Australia, 2052 Email: [email protected] Number: (+612) 9385 3310 Abstract Background: Recognising how others feel is paramount to social situations and commonly disrupted following traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study tested whether problems identifying emotion in others following TBI is related to problems expressing or feeling emotion in oneself, as theoretical models place emotion perception in the context of accurate encoding and/or shared emotional experiences. Methods: Individuals with TBI (n = 27; 20 males) and controls (n = 28; 16 males) were tested on an emotion recognition task, and asked to adopt facial expressions and relay emotional memories according to the presentation of stimuli (word & photos). After each trial, participants were asked to self-report their feelings of happiness, anger and sadness. Judges that were blind to the presentation of stimuli assessed emotional facial expressivity. Results: Emotional experience was a unique predictor of affect recognition across all emotions while facial expressivity did not contribute to any of the regression models. Furthermore, difficulties in recognising emotion for individuals with TBI were no longer evident after cognitive ability and experience of emotion were entered into the analyses. Conclusions: Emotion perceptual difficulties following TBI may stem from an inability to experience affective states and may tie in with alexythymia in clinical conditions. -
Facial Emotion Recognition
Issue 1 | 2021 Facial Emotion Recognition Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) is the technology that analyses facial expressions from both static images and videos in order to reveal information on one’s emotional state. The complexity of facial expressions, the potential use of the technology in any context, and the involvement of new technologies such as artificial intelligence raise significant privacy risks. I. What is Facial Emotion FER analysis comprises three steps: a) face de- Recognition? tection, b) facial expression detection, c) ex- pression classification to an emotional state Facial Emotion Recognition is a technology used (Figure 1).

Negative Emotions, Resilience and Mindfulness in Well-Being
Psychology and Behavioral Science International Journal ISSN 2474-7688 Research Article Psychol Behav Sci Int J Volume 13 Issue 2 - September 2019 Copyright © All rights are reserved by James Collard DOI: 10.19080/PBSIJ.2019.13.555857 The Role of Functional and Dysfunctional Negative Emotions, Resilience and Mindfulness in Well-Being B Shahzad and J Collard* School of Psychology, The Cairnmillar Institute, Australia Submission: August 01, 2019; Published: September 09, 2019 *Corresponding author: James Collard, School of Psychology, The Cairnmillar Institute, Melbourne, Australia Abstract This study sets out to investigate the binary model of emotions. It explores the relationships between suggested functional negative emotions and dysfunctional negative emotions with mindfulness, resilience, and well-being. The study was based on a sample of 104 adult participants. Results indicated that participants differentiated between proposed functional and dysfunctional negative emotion categories. Results of the structural equation modelling (SEM) demonstrated that functional negative emotions and dysfunctional negative emotions uniquely contributed to reduced well-being. The relationship of functional negative emotions to well-being was mediated by participants’ resilience levels. The relationship of dysfunctional negative emotions to well-being was mediated by participants’ resilience and mindfulness levels. SEM results indicated partial mediation, as the direct effect of functional and dysfunctional negative emotions on well-being was still -
Identifying Expressions of Emotions and Their Stimuli in Text
Identifying Expressions of Emotions and Their Stimuli in Text by Diman Ghazi Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty of Engineering University of Ottawa c Diman Ghazi, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract Emotions are among the most pervasive aspects of human experience. They have long been of interest to social and behavioural sciences. Recently, emotions have attracted the attention of researchers in computer science and particularly in computational linguistics. Computational approaches to emotion analysis have also focused on various emotion modalities, but there is less effort in the direction of automatic recognition of the emotion expressed. Although some past work has addressed detecting emotions, detecting why an emotion arises is ignored. In this work, we explore the task of classifying texts automatically by the emotions expressed, as well as detecting the reason why a particular emotion is felt. We believe there is still a large gap between the theoretical research on emotions in psy- chology and emotion studies in computational linguistics. In our research, we try to fill this gap by considering both theoretical and computational aspects of emotions. Starting with a general explanation of emotion and emotion causes from the psychological and cognitive perspective, we clarify the definition that we base our work on. We explain what is feasible in the scope of text and what is practically doable based on the current NLP techniques and tools. This work is organized in two parts: first part on Emotion Expression and the second part on Emotion Stimulus. -
Understanding the Work of Pre-Abortion Counselors

Conte December 2013 © 2013 Jennifer M. Conte: All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Understanding the Work of Pre-abortion Counselors by JENNIFER M. CONTE has been approved for the Department of Counseling and Higher Education and The Patton College of Education by Yegan Pillay Associate Professor of Counseling and Higher Education Renée A. Middleton Dean, The Patton College of Education 3 Abstract CONTE, JENNIFER M., Ph.D., December 2013, Counselor Education Understanding the Work of Pre-abortion Counselors Director of Dissertation: Yegan Pillay This qualitative study examined the experiences of individuals who work in abortion clinics as pre-abortion counselors. Interviewing was the primary method of inquiry. Although information regarding post-abortion distress is documented in the literature, pre-abortion counseling is rarely found in the literature. This study sought to fill a void in the literature by seeking to understand the experience of pre-abortion counselors. The documented experiences shared several themes such as a love for their job, having a non-judgmental attitude, and having a previous interest in reproductive health care. 4 Preface In qualitative methodology, the researcher is the instrument (Patton, 2002). Therefore, it is important to understand the lenses through which I am examining the phenomena of pre-abortion counseling. The vantage point that I offer is influenced by my experiences as a pre-abortion counselor. I have considered myself to be pro-choice ever since I can remember thinking about the topic of abortion. -
Deep-Learning-Based Models for Pain Recognition: a Systematic Review
applied sciences Article Deep-Learning-Based Models for Pain Recognition: A Systematic Review Rasha M. Al-Eidan * , Hend Al-Khalifa and AbdulMalik Al-Salman College of Computer and Information Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia; [email protected] (H.A.-K.); [email protected] (A.A.-S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 July 2020; Accepted: 27 August 2020; Published: 29 August 2020 Abstract: Traditional standards employed for pain assessment have many limitations. One such limitation is reliability linked to inter-observer variability. Therefore, there have been many approaches to automate the task of pain recognition. Recently, deep-learning methods have appeared to solve many challenges such as feature selection and cases with a small number of data sets. This study provides a systematic review of pain-recognition systems that are based on deep-learning models for the last two years. Furthermore, it presents the major deep-learning methods used in the review papers. Finally, it provides a discussion of the challenges and open issues. Keywords: pain assessment; pain recognition; deep learning; neural network; review; dataset 1. Introduction Deep learning is an important branch of machine learning used to solve many applications. It is a powerful way of achieving supervised learning. The history of deep learning has undergone different naming conventions and developments [1]. It was first referred to as cybernetics in the 1940s–1960s. Then, in the 1980s–1990s, it became known as connectionism. Finally, the phrase deep learning began to be utilized in 2006. There are also some names that are based on human knowledge. -
A Review of Alexithymia and Emotion Perception in Music, Odor, Taste, and Touch
MINI REVIEW published: 30 July 2021 doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.707599 Beyond Face and Voice: A Review of Alexithymia and Emotion Perception in Music, Odor, Taste, and Touch Thomas Suslow* and Anette Kersting Department of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy, University of Leipzig Medical Center, Leipzig, Germany Alexithymia is a clinically relevant personality trait characterized by deficits in recognizing and verbalizing one’s emotions. It has been shown that alexithymia is related to an impaired perception of external emotional stimuli, but previous research focused on emotion perception from faces and voices. Since sensory modalities represent rather distinct input channels it is important to know whether alexithymia also affects emotion perception in other modalities and expressive domains. The objective of our review was to summarize and systematically assess the literature on the impact of alexithymia on the perception of emotional (or hedonic) stimuli in music, odor, taste, and touch. Eleven relevant studies were identified. On the basis of the reviewed research, it can be preliminary concluded that alexithymia might be associated with deficits Edited by: in the perception of primarily negative but also positive emotions in music and a Mathias Weymar, University of Potsdam, Germany reduced perception of aversive taste.

The Lived Experience of Being Born Into Grief
The lived experience of being born into grief Michelle Holt A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Health Science (DHSc) 2018 School of Public Health and Psychosocial Studies Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences Primary Supervisor: Dr Jacqueline Feather Abstract This study explores the meaning of the lived experience of being born into grief. Using a phenomenological hermeneutic methodology, informed by the writings of Martin Heidegger [1889-1976] and Hans-George Gadamer [1900-2002], this research provides an understanding of the lived experience of having been a baby when one or both parents were grieving (born into grief). The review of the literature identified physical effects of being born when a mother was stressed but no literature was found which discussed emotional effects that a baby may incur due to stress or grief of a parent. The notion of grief was explored and literature pertaining to early childhood adversity reviewed as a possible resource for bringing light to how it may be for babies born into grief. The literature indicated that possible long term complications such as rebellious behaviour, poor relationships, poor mental and physical health, could be a result of early adversity. The literature on understanding effects of grief from a conceptual perspective, rather than from the lived experience perspective, provided a platform for this study. In this study nine New Zealand participants told their stories about the grief situation they were born into and how they thought it had affected them. Data were gathered in the form of semi structured interviews which were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. -
