A Computational Model of Emotions for the Simulation of Human Emotional Dynamics in Emergency Situations

Mouna Belhaj, Fahem Kebair, and Lamjed Ben Said

Abstract—Emotions have a considerable effect on human behaviors and cognitive processes, especially during crisis situations. Emotion modeling is therefore a key solution to generate realistic social simulations in crisis situations. In this context, we intend to model human emotional dynamics and to study their effect on individual and collective behaviors during emergency situations. In this paper, we focus on the first part of this research work which consists in the modeling of emotion generation in emergency situations. Thus, we provide first a modeling of the disaster space in a rescue simulation context. Then, we propose a computational model of the generated human emotions, basing on the emergency environment. This model uses the appraisal theories of emotions.

Index Terms—Appraisal, emergencies, emotional dynamics, human behavior.
