An algorithm model for gross cognitive reappraisal strategy

Abstract

In this paper, we use the mathematical model of Finite State Machine to describe the conversion process of individual's emotional state based on Gross's process model of emotion regulation strategies. In the model, we abstract Gross cognitive reappraisal strategy into a quantitative parameter and propose a kind of preliminary algorithm description for the influence cognitive reappraisal strategy has on the emotional conversion process. At last, we make simulation experiment for the algorithm model, and the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm proposed can effectively describe the relationship between reappraisal strategy and emotion-generative process. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
