Recent years have seen the rise of a remarkable partnership between
the social and computational sciences on the phenomena of emotions.
Rallying around the term Affective Computing, this research can be
seen as revival of the cognitive science revolution, albeit garbed
in the cloak of affect, rather than cognition. Traditional
cognitive science research, to the extent it considered emotion at
all, cases it as at best a heuristic but more commonly a harmful
bias to cognition. More recent scholarship in the social sciences
has upended this view.
Increasingly, emotions are viewed as a form of information
processing that serves a functional role in human cognition and
social interactions. Emotions shape social motives and communicate
important information to social partners. When communicating
face-to-face, people can rapidly detect nonverbal affective cues,
make inferences about the other party's mental state, and respond
in ways that co-construct an emotional trajectory between
participants. Recent advances in biometrics and artificial
intelligence are allowing computer systems to engage in this
nonverbal dance, on the one hand opening a wealth of possibilities
for human-machine systems, and on the other, creating powerful new
tools for behavioral science research.
Social Emotions in Nature and Artifact reports on the
state-of-the-art in both social science theory and computational
methods, and illustrates how these two fields, together, can both
facilitate practical computer/robotic applications and illuminate
human social processes.
