Computing model of individual emotion in the mass incidents with venting anger

Abstract

Based on emotional contagion theory and combined emotional contagion scale with modeling and simulating research methods then put forward a computing model of individual emotion in the mass incidents with venting anger. In the model, emotional contagion scale is used to measure emotional contagion sensitivity of the agents. The agents have parameters such as five basic emotions, explicit emotions, comprehensive emotions and so on. A large number of simulation results show that the model can simulate the changes of individual basic emotions, the group basic emotions and the group comprehensive emotions in the process of emotional contagion. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
