Abstract
PurposeThe goal of this study is to test the real-world use of an emotion recognition system.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers chose an existing algorithm that displayed high accuracy and speed. Four emotions: happy, sadness, anger and surprise, are used from six of the universal emotions, associated by their own mood markers. The mood-matrix interface is then coded as a web application. Four guidance counselors and 10 students participated in the testing of the mood-matrix. Guidance counselors answered the technology acceptance model (TAM) to assess its usefulness, and the students answered the general comfort questionnaire (GCQ) to assess their comfort levels.FindingsResults from TAM found that the mood-matrix has significant use for the guidance counselors and the GCQ finds that the students were comfortable during testing.Originality/valueNo study yet has tested an emotion recognition system applied to counseling or any mental health or psychological transactions.
期刊介绍:
Applied Computing and Informatics aims to be timely in disseminating leading-edge knowledge to researchers, practitioners and academics whose interest is in the latest developments in applied computing and information systems concepts, strategies, practices, tools and technologies. In particular, the journal encourages research studies that have significant contributions to make to the continuous development and improvement of IT practices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries. By doing so, the journal attempts to bridge the gap between the academic and industrial community, and therefore, welcomes theoretically grounded, methodologically sound research studies that address various IT-related problems and innovations of an applied nature. The journal will serve as a forum for practitioners, researchers, managers and IT policy makers to share their knowledge and experience in the design, development, implementation, management and evaluation of various IT applications. Contributions may deal with, but are not limited to: • Internet and E-Commerce Architecture, Infrastructure, Models, Deployment Strategies and Methodologies. • E-Business and E-Government Adoption. • Mobile Commerce and their Applications. • Applied Telecommunication Networks. • Software Engineering Approaches, Methodologies, Techniques, and Tools. • Applied Data Mining and Warehousing. • Information Strategic Planning and Recourse Management. • Applied Wireless Computing. • Enterprise Resource Planning Systems. • IT Education. • Societal, Cultural, and Ethical Issues of IT. • Policy, Legal and Global Issues of IT. • Enterprise Database Technology.
