Abstract:
Mental health is crucial to the overall well-being of individuals, societies, and countries. In addition, personality traits, emotional responses and behavioral states caused by acute stress have a significant influence on mental health. However, correlations among personality traits, emotional responses, and behavioral states were analyzed only by manual reports in psychology. This might cause a problem in that data might not be objective. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to examine whether and how personality traits are associated with emotional responses and behavioral states using physiological data from wearable devices. In experiments, 38 male and female university graduates and undergraduates volunteered as participants, and each of them first completed a Big Five Inventory (BFI) questionnaire and then made a presentation in class, to get personality traits, emotional responses, and behavioral states, respectively. In the presentation, three wearable devices were used for emotional response data collection, including an Emotive Insight detecting electroencephalogram (EEG) data, a Spire Stone collecting respiration data and a Huawei Fit Watch to get the heart rate value. In detail, six attributes of emotional responses: focus, interest, relaxation, engagement, stress and excitement, and 8 attributes of behavioral states: smile, clench, blink, surprise, furrow, wink, breath, and heart rate were used to analyze the personality traits. As a result, correlational analyses have indicated associations among the personality traits, emotional responses, and behavioral states.
