Despite the fact that spatio-temporal patterns of vibration, characterized as rhythmic compositions of tactile content, have exhibited an ability to elicit specific emotional responses and enhance the emotion conveyed by music, limited research has ...

Cognitive reappraisal (CR) is a critical emotion regulation skill that is strongly associated with mental well-being outcomes. While CR has been well theorized psychologically and many therapeutic approaches exist, CR remains one of the toughest skills ...

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a fast-growing technology, well known for generating high-quality design drawings and images in seconds with a simple text input. However, users often feel uncertain about whether generative art should be ...

Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive technology that can simulate different environments and experiences. Social-emotional learning (SEL) is a process through which individuals develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to understand and manage ...

This study evaluates a socially interactive agent to create an embodied cobot. It tests a real-time continuous emotional modeling method and an aligned transparent behavioral model, BASSF (boredom, anxiety, self-efficacy, self-compassion, flow). The ...

Emotional wellbeing and mental health are topics of much social significance, which are also reflected in the growing HCI work aimed to support them. Research in this area covers a broad space from affective computing to affective interaction approach, ...

Cognitive reappraisal is a critical emotion regulation skill required for youth mental health. While it has been well theorized psychologically and many therapeutic approaches exist, youth still struggle to develop these skills. We explore the design ...

Interoceptive signals play a key role in genesis of our conscious experience. Modulation of interoceptive signals holds great potential for developing new human-computer interactions by creating dynamic experiences that are able to engage on user’s ...
