This study investigates the relationship between the sentiment of news on social media and readers’ emotional response. We analyzed 1946 teaser headlines (‘New life for a dead language, as more public schools offer Latin’) from the Wall Street Journal’s Facebook page and determined their sentiment with the program VADER. We find that emotional headlines lead to more reactions than neutral headlines. The sentiment scores were systematically related to the emoji the readers attached to the headline (respectively those for ‘like’, ‘love’, ‘haha’, ‘wow’, ‘sad’, and ‘angry’). News with a negative sentiment is related to an increase in negative emotional responses by readers (as expressed in the emoji they use, ‘angry’ and ‘sad’) as compared to neutral and positive news. However, positive news does not result in an increase of positive affective responses (e.g., positive emoji) compared to neutral or negatively colored news. These results are in line with earlier positive-negative asymmetry findings, showing that negative events lead to a higher need for action than positive events. They also underscore the complexity of predicting emotional responses, because we also found some unexpected effects, such as the fact that a ‘haha’ response was given to both positive and negative headlines and that ‘wow’ responses were more prevalent with negative news. This study therefore contributes to our understanding of how people use emoji.

James Joyce’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man has fascinated readers for more than a century and there are layers of psychological meaning to be found throughout the novel. The novel is the perfect vehicle to discuss the relationship between form language and emotion as Joyce deliberately manipulated the emotional response of the reader through innovations in form and language, departing dramatically from previous literary traditions. This paper attempts to take a fresh look at the novel from a psychological perspective and seeks to examine underlying conditioning processes at work in the narrative – particularly the concept of associative learning. Understanding emotional responses to different stimuli is the bedrock of psychological investigation and 100 years after the date of its publication, Portrait of an Artist presents remarkably fresh insights into the human experience of emotion. Despite its age, Portrait of the Artist contains many contemporary psychological insights.

This study examined the relationship between scores on narcissistic personality traits and causal attributions to positive and negative events. 119 undergraduate students in psychology as participants completed the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40, the Attributional Style Questionnaire, and several Self-referencing Closed-ended Vignettes. Analyses indicated that men who scored higher on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40 made more internal and stable attributions to positive events and more external and unstable attributions to negative events than did men who scored lower on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-40. Also scores on the Self-referencing Closed-ended Vignettes correlated significantly and positively with the Attributional Style Questionnaire, providing evidence for the validity of the vignettes.

This study examined the relationship between explanatory style for positive and negative events in heavy- and moderate-drinking college students. Results indicate no difference between the two drinking groups in explanations for negative events; however, hearvier-drinking subjects did tend to have more global and stable explanations for positive events. In addition, those subjects attached more importance to positive events. Results are discussed in terms of the utility of such a style in avoiding depressed mood. Also discussed is the potential for changing such a belief pattern and the possible implications for the use of the Attributional Style Questionnaire with populations other than those who are depressed.

Campus data analysis is becoming increasingly important in mining students’ behavior. The consumption data of college students is an important part of the campus data, which can reflect the students’ behavior to a great degree. A few methods have been used to analyze students’ consumption data, such as classification, association rules, clustering, decision trees, time series, etc. However, they do not use the method of sequential patterns mining, which results in some important information missing. Moreover, they only consider the occurring (positive) events but do not consider the nonoccurring (negative) events, which may lead to some important information missing. So this paper uses a positive and negative sequential patterns mining algorithm, called NegI-NSP, to analyze the consumption data of students. Moreover, we associate students’ consumption data with their academic grades by adding the students’ academic grades into sequences to analyze the relationship between the students’ academic grades and their consumptions. The experimental results show that the students’ academic performance has significant correlation with the habits of having breakfast regularly.

This study was conducted to verify the mediating effect of cognitive and emotional responses in the effect of hair salon service quality on customer's revisit intention. The subjects of this study were 482 hair salon customers, and data were collected through self-response questionnaire on service quality, revisit intention, and cognitive and emotional responses. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a significant positive correlation between service quality, revisit intention, and cognitive and emotional responses. Second, technical quality and interaction quality of service quality had a significant positive effect on revisit intention. Third, the mediating effect of cognitive response was verified in the relationship between service quality and revisit intention. Fourth, there was a mediating effect of emotional response in the relationship between service quality and revisit intention. Based on the results of this study, a plan to increase the revisit intention of hair salon customers was discussed.

Ss were 298 10-yr.-old female beagles. The relationship of each dog's emotional response display toward a human stimulus was related to its dominance-submission status within a long term dyad. Emotional display was classified into four main categories, friendly, stay-behavior, wary, and aggressive. Forms of dyadic interaction were categorized into three main categories, dominant-submissive, combat, and parallel-possession. The parallel-possession category was related to a significantly greater frequency of displayed friendly responses while the combat category was related to a significantly greater frequency of displayed stay-behavior. Dominant and submissive dogs obtained an intermediate position on both emotions and did not differ from each other. A similar emotional response occurred in each of both dogs of a pair with greater than chance frequency; this held for both friendly and stay-behavior emotional displays. Explanatory hypotheses of “reinforced parallel approach” and “interpersonal avoidance” were offered.

Images are extremely effective at eliciting emotional responses in observers and have been frequently used to investigate the neural correlates of emotion. However, the image features producing this emotional response remain unclear. This study sought to use biologically inspired computational models of the brain to test the hypothesis that these emotional responses can be attributed to the estimation of arousal and valence of objects, scenes and facial expressions in the images. Convolutional neural networks were used to extract all, or various combinations, of high-level image features related to objects, scenes and facial expressions. Subsequent deep feedforward neural networks predicted the images’ arousal and valence value. The model was provided with thousands of pre-annotated images to learn the relationship between the high-level features and the images arousal and valence values. The relationship between arousal and valence was assessed by comparing models that either learnt the constructs separately or together. The results confirmed the effectiveness of using the features to predict human emotion alongside their ability to augment each other. When utilising the object, scene and facial expression information together, the model classified arousal and valence to accuracies of 88% and 87% respectively. The effectiveness of our deep neural network of emotion perception strongly suggests that these same high-level features play a critical component in producing humans’ emotional response. Moreover, performance increased across all models when arousal and valence were learnt together, suggesting a dependent relationship between these affective dimensions. These results open up numerous avenues for future work, whilst also bridging the gap between affective Neuroscience and Computer Vision.

In this article, we report on a multimethod qualitative study designed to explore the emotional experiences of students in the classroom setting. The purpose of the study was threefold: (1) to explore the correspondence among nonverbal expressions, subjective feelings, and physiological reactivity (heart rate changes) of students’ emotions in the classroom; (2) to examine the relationship between students’ emotions and their competence and value appraisals; and (3) to determine whether task difficulty matters in emotional experiences. We used multiple methods (nonverbal coding scheme, video stimulated recall interview, and heart rate monitoring) to acquire data on emotional experiences of six grade 7 students. Concurrent correspondence analyses of the emotional indices revealed that coherence between emotional response systems, although apparent, is not conclusive. The relationship between appraisals and emotions was evident, but the effect of task difficulty appears to be minimal.

This chapter explores the relationship between music and emotion, beginning with a review of research on emotion, followed by a review of research on music and emotion. It is proposed that the connection between music and the emotions reflects music’s capacity to provide sonic analogs for some of the most salient aspects of emotion processes. This proposal is illustrated through analyses of two movements from J. S. Bach’s cantata “Ich habe genug,” which make explicit two important features of musical grammar: syntactic processes and syntactic layers. The chapter concludes with observations about the ways music is used to shape emotional responses within liturgical settings of the kind that motivated and framed Bach’s cantata.
