近年來情緒逐漸在電腦科學領域中受到重視，有科學家利用人體生物感測方式來判斷情緒，再播放出適合的音樂或影片給使用者。也有用在電子寵物上，利用使用者或電子寵物的情緒來做互動。然而在語言上雖然也有對情緒作研究，大多是以人工方式對字詞做情緒上的分類，或是使用者的情緒狀態對閱讀的影響。另外我們觀察到許多的話語都含有情緒字詞或情緒意圖，而所寫的文字也同樣具有情緒。在生活中，情緒字詞往往在傳達明顯的情緒表達資訊，譬如文章中在敘述一個主角為某件事情，而所用的情緒字詞為高興，也就代表主角的情緒反應是很快樂、愉快，甚至於歡欣。因此在特定的領域或撰寫方式，大多都會透露出當時環境狀況，瞭解到當時的情緒情境資訊(Emotional Contextual Information)。 情緒情境資訊的目的有三個，一為情緒詞與概念的關聯性？二為如何透過概念來喚起(Arousal)人們對某種情境所應表現出的特定情緒？三則是情緒修復(Mood Repair)，如何將人們目前所處之負向修復至正向情緒？這樣的研究能夠帶來的不只是瞭解情緒字詞與事物字詞之間的關聯，更能理解是哪些情緒來源(Source of the Emotion)會引發情緒以及相關程度，對於情意計算與相關應用上會有相當大的幫助。 根據本研究目的，我們建立情緒情境共現網路，並將字詞提昇至上層概念，這部份目的在於得知何種字詞概念連結下會以那些近義詞來搭配，並簡化字詞網路的複雜度。接著則是用傳統尋找文章關鍵字方法指標，找出情緒與事物概念間的不同特性之關聯，並且我們提出新的指標來彌補傳統方法的不足。接著我們會透過控制這些指標，藉以從情境中找出哪種情緒來源可以喚起人們對情境的情緒，以及情緒修復。並經由問卷調查結果與統計分析，驗證本研究成果的確能找出與情緒情境較強關連的概念群，並藉由指標控制達到情緒喚起與修復的目的。 / In recent years, emotional in the computer science to be more important, some scientists have used the way of human biological sensor to recognize emotional, and then broadcast music or films for the users. Also useful in the electronic pets, using the emotion of user or electronic pets to do interaction. However, there is also research for emotional in language, but mostly based on classify the word to right emotion category by artificial way or user's emotional state for the impact of reading. In addition, we observed speaking contain emotional word or intent, and also written. In life, emotional words often convey clear emotional expression information. For example, the article described a protagonist is happy for something, and the author use the word "happy", means that he's emotional reaction was very happy, pleasant, and even joy. So, in specific area or writing, most of the time will reveal the state of the environment, to understand the "Emotional Contextual Information". The purposes of the emotional contextual information have three: first, the relative of emotional word and concept. Second, how to arouse the specific emotion for a situation how feeling by people. Third, Emotion repair, how to repair the emotion from negative to positive. This research is not only knowing the relative emotional words and concept, but also understanding what the source of the emotion that will be aroused. There will be a help in Affect Computing and related applications. According to the study, we have established a Emotional Situation of Co-occurrence network, and upper the word to concept. The purpose of this part is to know what the concept connection will link the synonym word in different situation, and also can simplify the complexity of network. Then using traditional indicators to find the keyword of articles, the relate with emotional word and concept. We have proposed new indicator to compensate for the drawback of traditional methods. Through the control of these indicators to find out the source of the emotional which can arouse or repair the emotion in specific situation. Finally, by the result of the questionnaire and statistical analysis. Verification results of our study will certainly identify the concepts with strong link in specific emotional situation, and through the emotional control to achieve the purpose of arousal and repair.

Selective attention is a mechanism used to allocate resources to information processing. Both mood states and emotionally salient stimuli can influence which information is selectively attended. This information is subsequently processed in a more elaborative manner and affects task performance. The experiments presented in this thesis explore the influence of mood and emotional stimuli on selective attention and consequently task performance. Mood induction procedures were used to induce transient neutral, sad, and happy mood states in healthy volunteers. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 41 studies using sad mood induction procedures showed cognitive impairments in performance in the context of task neutral stimuli. In contrast biases in attention towards mood-congruent negative stimuli led to improved task performance. A series of three behavioural experiments with 197 participants demonstrated that participants made decisions on the basis of less information when that information was preceded by emotional but not neutral stimuli. Induced mood state did not affect performance. The behavioural and neural correlates of visual attentional processing to emotional stimuli were explored using magnetoencephalography in 24 healthy participants following sad, happy, and neutral mood induction procedures. The M300, a component associated with selective attention, had greater amplitude following presentation of negative compared with positive stimuli, which was associated with improved task performance. Reduced M300 amplitude and impairments in performance occurred following sad mood induction procedures. The experiments presented in this thesis demonstrate prioritized processing of emotional information and provide some evidence for impaired performance following sad mood induction procedures.

Familjeutredare på akut- och utredningshem är en yrkesgrupp som arbetar med utredning av föräldrars omsorgsförmåga. I arbetet träffar familjeutredaren dagligen människor som befinner sig i svåra livsskeenden. Detta ställer krav på familjeutredarens förmåga att hantera emotioner. Studiens syfte var att bidra till en djupare förståelse för familjeutredares emotionella lönearbete, vilka emotionella krav som ställs och hur de hanterar det. Studien utgick från Grundad teori (GT) och datainsamling innefattade sju semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studien resulterade i en teoretisk modell där utgångspunkten var ett emotionellt lönearbete som präglas av en moralisk konflikt. Det centrala i modellen är att arbetet kräver å ena sidan en balansering av förväntningarna på ett moraliskt upprätthållande arbete och å andra sidan det moraliska ifrågasättande som arbetet väcker. För att balansera denna konflikt använder sig familjeutredarna av emotionsstrategier. / Child protection investigators are an occupational group who investigates parentsability to take care of their children. In their everyday work child protection investigators meet parents who find themselves in a difficult life situation. The investigator must therefore have the ability to manage emotions. The aim of this study was to contribute to a deeper understanding of child protection investigators emotional labor, their emotional demands and how they handle them. The methodology used in this study was Grounded theory (GT). Data were collected from seven informants. The findings show that child protection investigators' emotional labor is characterized by a moral conflict. This conflict arises when child protection investigators start questioning the bases of their work. To balance this moral conflict they use emotion strategies.

This diploma thesis aims to introduce the topic of emotion stimulation and emotion regulation in pre-school age from the perspective of adults and to look for institutional possibilities of development and support of emotional development of pre-schoolers. The text consists of two main parts: theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical part, the main terms of the thesis (emotion stimulation and emotion regulation) are introduced and presented in the context of pre-school age. In this context, the focus is on the two main areas of a pre-schooler's life: family and, primarily, kindergarten. This part of the thesis is concluded by a summary of the importance of the optimal stimulation and support of the emotion regulation skills in pre-schoolers. The empirical part has a qualitative character. It explores how selected kindergarten teachers (n=5) stimulate and regulate emotional expression of their pupils. The empirical survey uses thematic analysis of semi-structured interview and video recording. The results of the analysis are discussed in the final chapter. Keywords: emotion stimulation, emotion regulation, pre-school age, kindergarten, emotion regulation strategies
