Emotion & Personality

Emotion & Personality effect the utility of alternative decisions in relationship:
One of the most important functions of emotions is to regulate our behaviour in social situations. The Ortony, Clore, and Collins (OCC) model uses four parameters involving how agents feel about one another, again dependent upon the type of emotion being generated. For each pair of agents (X, Y), the following are defined by the model:
1) The degree to which X likes Y;
2) The degree to which X dislikes Y;
3) The degree to which X has formed a cognitive unit with Y;
4) The degree to which X is familiar with Y.
Two additional parameters were added for implementation purposes, to be used in determining the intensities of standards-based and preference-based emotions, respectively:
1) The degree to which X views Y as an agent;
2) The degree to which X views Y as an object.
