Stabilityaffect
Stabilityaffect is a term used to describe the coupling between affective states and the stability of a system. It denotes how emotions, moods, or arousal levels among agents influence the dynamic behavior of a system, and how the system’s conditions—such as feedback, workload, or perturbations—influence those affective states. The concept is used across disciplines including psychology, organizational studies, human-computer interaction, and complex-systems research to explain how mood and emotion can stabilize or destabilize collective dynamics.
Theoretical framework: Stabilityaffect models treat affect as a time-varying variable that modulates action tendencies, attention, and
Measurement and methods: researchers assess affect with self-report scales, physiological indicators, or inferred behavioral cues, and
Applications: durability of human-robot collaboration, adaptive user interfaces that respond to affect, organizational stress and process
Limitations: the term lacks universal consensus and standardized measurement; findings are context-dependent; ethical considerations arise when
