“…Boredom satisfies each of these features: (a: Smith & Ellsworth, 1985;b: Merrifield & Danckert, 2014, Wallbott, 1998c: Van Tilburg & Igou, 2012;d: Van Tilburg et al, 2013). Consistently, several emotion experts have treated (state) boredom as an emotion (e.g., Leary et al, 1986;Russell & Bullock, 1985;Smith & Ellsworth, 1985).…”

All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.The authors declare that there are no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article. All authors consented to the submission of this manuscript. AbstractBoredom research is booming. Nonetheless, a comprehensive understanding of boredom in relation to other negative emotions is lacking. This ambiguity impedes accurate interpretation of boredom's causes and consequences. To gain more insights into boredom, we examined in detail how it differs from a range of other negative experiences, namely sadness, anger, frustration, fear, disgust, depression, guilt, shame, regret, and disappointment. Our research indicates that the appraisals associated with boredom distinguish it clearly from other negative emotions; conceptually (Study 1), in terms of state experiences (Study 2), and in terms of individual differences in these experiences (Study 3). Our findings suggest that boredom is mild in negative valence, low in arousal, is associated with low perceived challenge, low perceived meaningfulness, and has low relevance to moral judgment and behavior. Boredom also involves low attention given to situations and tasks, and the lack of perceived meaningfulness and attention associated with boredom emerged as particularly distinctive characteristics. The findings underscore the importance of carefully discriminating boredom from other emotions in experimental induction, psychometric assessment, and conceptual discussion.

“…The link between emotion and nonverbal behaviour has been a major topic of psychological research in the last five decades (Ekman and Oster 1979;Izard 1971;Scherer and Ellgring 2007a;Tomkins and Carter 1964;Wallbott 1998). This research suggests that emotional behaviours represent evolved adaptive responses to fundamental life events (Ekman 1992;Frijda and Scherer 2009).…”

The emerging field of social signal processing can benefit from a theoretical framework to guide future research activities. The present article aims at drawing attention to two areas of research that devoted considerable efforts to the understanding of social behaviour: ethology and social psychology. With a long tradition in the study of animal signals, ethology and evolutionary biology have developed theoretical concepts to account for the functional significance of signalling. For example, the consideration of divergent selective pressures responsible for the evolution of signalling and social cognition emphasized the importance of two classes of indicators: informative cues and communicative signals. Social psychology, on the other hand, investigates emotional expression and interpersonal relationships, with a focus on the mechanisms underlying the production and interpretation of social signals and cues. Based on the theoretical considerations developed in these two fields, we propose a model that integrates the processing of perceivable individual features (social signals and cues) with contextual information, and we suggest that output of computer-based processing systems should be derived in terms of functional significance rather than in terms of absolute conceptual meaning.

“…Behavior expressivity has been correlated to energy in communication, to the relation with characteristics of gestures and/or personality/emotion. For Wallbott [29], it is related to the mental state (e.g. emotion).…”

Abstract. Our goal is to capture style from real human motion so it can be rendered with a virtual agent that represents this human user. We used expressivity parameters to describe motion style. As a first contribution, we propose an approach to estimate a subset of expressivity parameters defined in the literature (namely spatial extent and temporal extent) from captured motion trajectories. Second, we capture the expressivity of real users and then output it to the Greta engine that animates a virtual agent representing the user. We experimentally demonstrate that expressivity can be another clue for identifiable virtual clones of real humans.
