Who's afraid of job interviews? Definitely a question for user modelling

We define job interviews as a domain of interaction that can be modelled automatically in a serious game for job interview skills training. We present four types of studies: (1) field-based human-to-human job interviews, (2) field-based computer-mediated human-to-human interviews, (3) lab-based wizard of oz studies, (4) field-based human-to agent studies. Together, these highlight pertinent questions for the user modelling eld as it expands its scope to applications for social inclusion. The results of the studies show that the interviewees suppress their emotional behaviours and although our system recognises automatically a subset of those behaviours, the modelling of complex mental states in real-world contexts poses a challenge for the state-of-the-art user modelling technologies. This calls for the need to re-examine both the approach to the implementation of the models and/or of their usage for the target contexts
