Emotional Intelligence Screening

Emotional Intelligence Screening: Can your eyes reveal your emotional state?
Abstract: This talk will present an overview of experimental investigations of affective computing conducted in KSU. In the larger context of designing an emotional intelligence screening system, an eye tracking experiment was conducted to examine whether pupil dilation can be indicative of emotional arousal in subjects. Participants examined video segments depicting different emotions such as joy, fear, and sadness; patterns of changes in the pupil sizes of their eyes were measured and observed over time.


Findings show that pupil size variation is indicative of emotional arousal. As such, it will be combined with physiological measures to develop an emotional screening system.
