Measures of Emotion in Interaction for Health Smart Home

Abstract

Many researchers have worked on the measurement of emotion from the perspectives of their various domains, but there is little research on emotion in interaction in the architecture domain. To develop measures of emotion in interaction associated with spaces, this paper reviews representative studies and techniques adopted for the measurement of emotion in Human-Computer Interaction. Emotional states and emotional response are two important factors to be considered in measuring emotion. In general, emotional states are divided into discrete and dimensional emotion models, whereas emotional responses are organized in terms of experiential, physiological, and behavior response. A critical review would enable the consolidation of knowledge to develop appropriate measures for emotion in interaction design. Through an exhaustive search on contents pages of articles, systematic methods for measuring emotional states and responses were examined, and several problems specific to the measurement of each emotion component were investigated.
