Emotional-State Measure

An Emotional-State Measure is a psychometric measure for quantifying emotional aspects (of emotional agent experiences).

• AKA: Emotion Measure, Emotional Assessment Tool, Emotion Measurement Instrument.
• Context:
  • It can assess Emotional State through valence, arousal, and dominance measurement.
  • It can evaluate Emotional Process via physiological indicators and behavioral markers.
  • It can analyze Emotional Pattern using neuroimaging techniques and expression analysis.
  • ...
  • It can support Clinical Work for emotional health and psychological wellbeing.
  • It can enable Research Study of emotional phenomenon and psychological processs.
  • It can guide Intervention Planning through assessment data.
  • It can facilitate Marketing Research through consumer emotion tracking.
  • It can enhance Educational Assessment via learner emotion monitoring.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Self-Reported Measure to being an Objective Assessment, depending on its measurement approach.
  • It can range from being a Positive Emotion Measure to being a Negative Emotion Measure, depending on its emotional valence.
  • It can range from being a Simple Emotion Scale to being a Complex Emotion Assessment, depending on its measurement scope.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Clinical System for health monitoring.
  • It can connect to Research Platform for data analysis.
  • It can support Emotion Recognition System for human-computer interaction.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Emotional Intensity Measures, such as:
    • ...
  • Emotional Self-Report Measures, such as:
    • Self-Assessment Scales, such as:
      • Self-Assessment Manikin for emotional dimension rating.
      • Positive Negative Affect Schedule for affect state assessment.
    • Clinical Assessment Scales, such as:
      • Profile of Mood States for clinical emotion measurement.
      • International Affective Picture System for emotion elicitation assessment.
  • Emotional Observation Measures, such as:
    • Facial Analysis Tools, such as:
      • Facial Action Coding System for expression quantification.
      • Automated Expression Analyzer for real-time emotion detection.
  • Emotional Physiological Measures, such as:
    • Autonomic Response Tools, such as:
      • Galvanic Skin Response Monitor for arousal measurement.
      • Heart Rate Variability Tracker for stress level assessment.
    • Neural Response Tools, such as:
      • Functional MRI Analysis for emotion-related brain activity.
      • EEG Emotion Pattern for neural response measurement.
  • Emotional Pattern Measures, such as:
    • Temporal Analysis Tools, such as:
      • Emotional Frequency Scale for occurrence pattern assessment.
      • Emotional Duration Tracker for persistence measurement.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Cognitive Measure, which assesses thought processes rather than emotional aspects.
  • Physical Health Test, which monitors body functions rather than emotional states.
  • Performance Assessment, which evaluates task completion rather than emotional experiences.
