Abstract

To avoid the occurrence of spirals of negative emotion in their teams, team leaders may benefit from intelligent agent systems that analyze the emotional dynamics of the team members. As a first step in developing such agents, this paper uses an agent-based approach to formalize and simulate emotion contagion spirals within groups. The computational multi-agent model is integrated within an intelligent ambient agent to monitor and predict group emotion levels over time and propose group support actions based on that.
