Emotions and personality traits profoundly influence human behavior and well-being. Recent advancements in computer-based tools utilizing machine learning techniques have opened new avenues for identifying and understanding these psychological aspects in individuals. This systematic mapping study comprehensively reviews research articles from reputable journals, focusing on tools that leverage various data sources, such as text analysis, face recognition, gestures, and heart rate monitoring. The selected papers underwent rigorous analysis, leading to the categorization of identified tools based on their methodologies, objectives, and application domains. Natural language processing techniques were found to excel in capturing emotions from textual data, while deep learning models demonstrated accuracy in face recognition. Machine learning algorithms showed promise in analyzing gestures and heart rate to understand personality traits and emotional responses. However, the study also highlights the importance of validation standardization and large-scale studies across diverse populations to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of these tools.
