A study on emotion estimation of narratives using cognitive appraisals of the reader
Our emotion estimation refers to estimation of a reader's sentiments and feelings after they read a narrative (i.e. post reading emotion types) The emotion types manifest in a reader's feelings combine to form diverse and various patterns. To elicit this phenomenon, we here attempt to estimate readers' emotional patterns based on their cognitive appraisals of the work. This paper describes our cognitive appraisal methodology, variation in readers' emotion types due to differences in their cognitive appraisals, and report and discuss the results of emotion estimation experiments in which a reader performs a cognitive appraisal of the text of a narrative.
