发现生理与情绪关系随时间变化,建议定期更新情绪模型。

Long-Term Variability in Physiological-Arousal Relationships for Robust Emotion Estimation

  • 用纵向数据检测个体生理与情绪的长期关系变化
  • 模型跨周期测试准确率下降5%,显示关系不稳定
  • 心率较稳定,但皮电反应波动大,适合长期监测用户

从生理信号推断情绪状态是情感计算与心理生理学的核心课题。尽管多数情绪估计系统隐含假设生理特征与主观情绪间关系稳定,但这一假设很少在长时间尺度上被验证。本研究通过自建测量系统,采集24名参与者在两个连续三个月内的血容量脉搏、皮肤电活动(EDA)、皮肤温度和加速度信号,并同步记录自评情绪状态,构建纵向数据集。数据在自然工作环境中收集,分析日常情境下生理特征与主观唤醒度的关系演变。采用可解释提升机(EBM)确保模型可解释性,结果显示:基于第一阶段数据训练的模型在第二阶段测试时准确率下降5%,表明生理-唤醒关系存在长期变异。EBM对比进一步发现,心率作为预测因子相对稳定,而最小皮电反应在个体间呈现显著波动。尽管样本量有限,研究提示应考虑生理-情绪关系的时间变化,建议每五个月根据观测趋势更新情绪模型,以维持长期性能稳健。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Estimating emotional states from physiological signals is a central topic in affective computing and psychophysiology. While many emotion estimation systems implicitly assume a stable relationship between physiological features and subjective affect, this assumption has rarely been tested over long timeframes. This study investigates whether such relationships remain consistent across several months within individuals. We developed a custom measurement system and constructed a longitudinal dataset by collecting physiological signals -- including blood volume pulse, electrodermal activity (EDA), skin temperature, and acceleration--along with self-reported emotional states from 24 participants over two three-month periods. Data were collected in naturalistic working environments, allowing analysis of the relationship between physiological features and subjective arousal in everyday contexts. We examined how physiological-arousal relationships evolve over time by using Explainable Boosting Machines (EBMs) to ensure model interpretability. A model trained on 1st-period data showed a 5\% decrease in accuracy when tested on 2nd-period data, indicating long-term variability in physiological-arousal associations. EBM-based comparisons further revealed that while heart rate remained a relatively stable predictor, minimum EDA exhibited substantial individual-level fluctuations between periods. While the number of participants is limited, these findings highlight the need to account for temporal variability in physiological-arousal relationships and suggest that emotion estimation models should be periodically updated -- e.g., every five months -- based on observed shift trends to maintain robust performance over time.
