In Narco emotions: affect and desensitization in social media during themexican drugwarwhere the study considered social networks as an ecosystem in the context of different crises focusingonpeoplesaffective responses.Thestudy indicatedadesensiti- zationtowards theviolenceexperiencedincommunities thathadarmedconflicts.During aperiodof2years, inwhichtheviolenceinthestudiedareaswasat itshighestpoint,The studyshowedadecline innegativeemotional expression, aswell as an increase inemo- tional arousal anddominance fromTwitter data, an aspect known tobe apsychological markerofdesensitization[2]. Toubiana,Madeline andZietsma, Charlene in, Themessage is on thewall? Emo- tions, socialmediaand thedynamicsof institutionalcomplexity [3]describesastudyon how emotions of leaders influence activities. Showing that when the expectations that peoplehave about anorganization aredistorted, a process of organizational destabiliza- tion is triggered.Anexampleof this is thestrongnegativeemotionsexpressedasaresult of the recentprivacyscandal surroundingFacebook.

The emotionsmost frequently expressed in the study of FundaKivran-Swaine andMorNaaman, were Joy and sadness.On average, 37%of a user’s updates did not contain any expression of emotion. The study shows that userswhopost content about themselvesandtheirexperienceshavesignificantlyfewerfollowers thanthosewhoshare information.

JavierNavarro et al. in [7], has created a system for cognitive therapy to assess the deterioration of patientswith dementia in care settings. This system evaluates and cal- culatespatient scores indifferent cognitiveareas, automaticallygeneratingpersonalized stimulation plans that adapt to the changing level of patient deterioration. These plans are composed through theuseof fuzzy if-then rules that combinequantitative attributes andpatient interaction scores.Thework also considers extending these rules to include thepatients affective states.
