纵向文本中建模维度化情绪需区分当前情绪估计与未来情绪变化预测。现有方法常将每条文本视为独立观测,对两类任务采用相似假设,未检验其是否依赖不同信息源。本文基于纵向自我报告生态日记与情感词记录,提出特质-状态情绪预测(TSAP)框架及其时间扩展E-TSAP,用于每条文本的愉悦度与唤醒度预测,在91名用户共1,737条数据上评估。进一步提出情感变化预测混合模型(ACF-Hybrid),在46名用户的数据集上评估下一阶段情绪变化。预测结果:E-TSAP在愉悦度和唤醒度上的复合皮尔逊相关系数分别为0.670和0.449;而文本模型在情绪变化预测中表现差于简单前序状态基线——文本包含模型仅达r=0.316(愉悦度)和r=0.284(唤醒度),而前序状态基线分别达到r=0.615和r=0.670。ACF-Hybrid结合维度特异性数值轨迹特征,实现愉悦度r=0.659、唤醒度r=0.658。结果表明:文本语义有助于当前情绪预测,而未来情绪变化更依赖历史数值动态。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modeling dimensional affect in longitudinal text requires distinguishing current affect estimation from future affective change forecasting. Existing approaches often treat each text as an independent observation and apply similar assumptions to both tasks, without testing whether they rely on different information sources. This paper investigates that distinction using longitudinal self-reported ecological essays and feeling-word entries. We propose the Trait--State Affective Prediction (TSAP) framework and its temporal extension E-TSAP for per-text valence and arousal prediction, evaluated on a held-out prediction test set of 1,737 entries from 91 users. We further propose the Affective Change Forecaster Hybrid (ACF-Hybrid) for next-step affective change forecasting, evaluated on a held-out forecasting test set of 46 users. For prediction, E-TSAP achieves composite Pearson correlations of 0.670 for valence and 0.449 for arousal. For forecasting, textual representations perform worse than compact numeric trajectory baselines: the text-inclusive model achieves only r=0.316 for valence and r=0.284 for arousal, whereas a simple prior-state baseline reaches r=0.615 and r=0.670, respectively. ACF-Hybrid, using dimension-specific numeric trajectory features, achieves r=0.659 for valence and $r=0.658$ for arousal. These results show that textual semantics support current affect prediction, whereas future affective change is better captured through prior numeric trajectory dynamics.
