Описание: The main purpose of this book is to showcase the interdisciplinary engineering approaches in modeling and understanding human behaviors during interpersonal interactions that could be typical, distressed, or atypical. The ability to measure human behaviors quantitatively has been a core component and a major research direction in both fields of engineering and psychology - though often with distinct approaches designed for different targeted applications.
Engineering methods often strive to achieve high predictive accuracies using behavioral informatic techniques. These techniques employ a combination of behavior measures derived using automated signal based descriptors and of statistical frameworks modeled by machine learning techniques. These approaches are often distinct from the observational approaches of the gold standard for the past three decades in the study of psychology, even in clinical settings. The observational approaches are largely based on human subjective judgments.
Modeling Human Behaviors in Psychology Using Engineering Methods provides an introduction to some of the ingredients of such engineering approaches (what is needed) and the rationale and impact of such interdisciplinary effort (why is it necessary). It then discusses sample research works in effective computing, e.g., automated emotion recognition, and in mental health such as assessing distressed behaviors in couples therapy sessions. Lastly, it concludes with a road map outlining possible future research endeavors for creating an enduring and highly positive impact on humans' mental health and well-being.

Описание: This book presents an overview of modeling definitions and concepts, theory on human behavior and human performance data, available tools and simulation approaches, model development, and application and validation methods. It considers the data and research efforts needed to develop and incorporate functions for the different parameters into comprehensive escape and evacuation simulations, with a number of examples illustrating different aspects and approaches. After an overview of basic modeling approaches, the book discusses benefits and challenges of current techniques. The representation of evacuees is a central issue, including human behavior and the proper implementation of representational tools. Key topics include the nature and importance of the different parameters involved in ASET and RSET and the interactions between them. A review of the current literature on verification and validation methods is provided, with a set of recommended verification tests and examples of validation tests. The book concludes with future challenges: new scenarios and factors for future model developments, addresses the problem of using deterministic and/or stochastic approaches and proposes, and discusses the use of evacuation models for supporting timely decisions in real-time. Written by international experts, Evacuation Modeling Trends is designed for those involved in safety, from emergency and intervention personnel to students, engineers and researchers.
