Appraisal theory

评价理论（Appraisal Theory），由 Lazarus、Scherer 等提出的认知心理学理论，主张情绪源于个体对事件相关性、意外性、可控性等多维度的评估；在 HCI 中常被用于让 agent 推断用户情绪并据此生成反应。

English Definition

"A cognitive psychology theory (Lazarus, Scherer) proposing that emotions arise from a person's evaluation (appraisal) of events along dimensions such as relevance, unexpectedness, and controllability; used in HCI to infer and generate emotional responses in agents."

用法说明 · 针对中文母语者

在 agent 设计语境下，appraisal theory 通常用于让 agent「理解」事件进而选择合适的情绪反应，而非简单的表情触发。

常见错误

·不要与「评价方法」混淆；这里是 appraisal（评估），不是 evaluation/assessment 的同义词
