“…We consider here its social aspect: emotion are spread among neighbors. This has already been investigated in many works, such as [9,3] where the emotion of an agent tends to the average value of all the agents over time (as in our model).…”

“…The authors have proposed the idea that agents with a high emotion (above a high threshold) or a low emotion (under a low threshold) will impact with different roles (increase or decrease) to the characters of agent like the openness, the expressiveness, the capacity of receive or express from/to others. Similarly, in [3], the authors give another interesting orientation about the contagion of emotion among a group.…”

“…All the figures presented in this section come from the implementation of these equations using the GAMA platform. 3 We give preliminary 1 As it has been suggested by one of the anonymous referees, the concept of emotion contagion could be considered in terms of crowd dynamics following the Social Force Model of [14]. We will investigate this way in future works.…”

“…2 By this assumption, we suppose here that emotion is in cognition: this is the point of view of the great majority of psychology community (see [17,23,8,27] for instance) and this view is called "cognitive theory of emotion". 3 GAMA is a (open-source) generic agent-based modeling and simresults about the various combinations of the factors in Section 3 and explore the model behavior in Section 4.…”

This is an author-deposited version published in : http://oatao.univ-toulouse.fr/ Eprints ID : 18865The contribution was presented at ABSTRACTRecently the key role of emotions in decision-making process has been highlighted. In this article, we focus on fear-related emotions and their positive impact on the survival capabilities of human beings in case of crisis situation. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the impact of emotion on agents in the evacuation process; we only focus here on emotions and not on the evacuation process itself. We formalize the influence of three factors (decay, environment, contagion) on agents emotion and explore the influence of each of them. The emotion intensity of agents will be tested in case of moving or without moving. We will make some experiments to estimate the impact of three coefficients of decay, environment, contagion on the emotion intensity of groups such as max, min, mean and standard deviation value. The entire theoretical model has been implemented in the GAMA simulation platform.

“…In a social context, often decision making processes of different individuals affect each other, by social contagion processes (e.g., Bosse, Duell, Memon, Treur, & van der Wal, 2014;Bosse et al, 2012). A specific form of social contagion relevant in such socially affected decision making processes is emotion contagion.…”

This paper addresses an agent-based computational social agent model for the integration of emotion regulation, emotion contagion and decision making in a social context. The model integrates emotion-related valuing, in order to analyse the role of emotions in socially affected decision making. The agent-based model is illustrated for the interaction between two persons. Simulation experiments for different kinds of scenarios help to understand how decisions can be affected by regulating the emotions involved, and how these emotions are affected by emotion regulation and contagion. ª

With the increasing number of emergencies, the crowd simulation technology has attracted wide attention in the recent years. Existing emergencies have shown that individuals are easy to be influenced by others' emotion during the evacuation. This will make it easier for people to aggregate together and increase security risks. Some of the existing evacuation models without considering emotion are therefore not suitable for describing crowd behaviors in emergencies. We propose a perception-based emotion contagion model and use multiagent technology to simulate crowd behaviors. Navigation points are introduced to guide the movement of the agents. Based on the proposed model, a prototype simulation system for crowd emotion contagion is developed. The comparative simulation experiments verify that the model can effectively deduct the evacuation time and crowd emotion contagion. The proposed model could be an assistant analysis method for crowd management in emergencies.Public places have been more crowded with the progress of global urbanization. Meanwhile, public safety and crisis management are facing unprecedented challenges with the increasing number of emergencies. In emergencies, overcrowded places become dangerous and would result in a large number of casualties. It has important and practical significance to simulate crowd behaviors in emergencies.After analyzing real incidents of emergencies, we find that existing emergency plans always have problems to cope with changeable emergencies. In emergencies, people easily generate negative emotions and will spread their panic to others. The panic emotion will lead to irrational behaviors. Exploring the law of crowd evacuation behaviors will help us develop a scientific crowd management plan and reduce the emergent evacuation risk. However, it is not suitable to observe crowd behaviors from evacuation drills, as those drills will be constrained by space, cost, or time and cannot be Comput Anim Virtual Worlds. 2018;29:e1817.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/cav
