Establishing the relationship between personality traits and stress in an intelligent environment
Personality traits play a key role in the shaping of emotions, moods,
cognitions, and behaviours of individuals interacting in a virtual environment.
The personalities one exhibits reflect one’s perception of the world and are demonstrated
in the act of communication. Thus, the evaluation of a message can be
changed due to stress and mood variations. Being able to identify the degree
of relationship between one’s personality characteristics and one’s current stress
state can thus facilitate the communication process. In particular, in this paper it is
studied the correlation between some personality traits and the stress levels exhibited
by users’ interactions. To do so a novel approach was followed in which an
intelligent environment is used to support the stress recognition process providing
important personality related information. An experiment has been designed for
the purpose of addressing the estimation of relevant aspects of interactions that
occur in a rich sensory environment. Outputs from the experiment, such as the
relation between personality characteristics and stress, can be used to maximize
the benefits of virtual environments and its applications in fields such as learning,
medicine or conflict resolution.This work was developed in the context of the project CAMCoF - Context-aware Multimodal
