Identification of Basic Emotional States in Informational Communication
AbstractThe study suggests data of expert assessment of basic emotional states, as being displayed on the computer. Gender, Age, and extraversion/introversion would serve as differentiating indicators for the groups of experts.

Each shot was assessed by the experts on the nine-point scale to rate the eight basic emotions (joy, disgust, surprise, anger, bewilderment, calmness, fear, sadness).

The study reveals that emotional experience of a human in TV communication is represented by a combination of several basic emotions. The group of women over 35 years and the group of extraverts demonstrated a higher level of emotional intelligence
