[MUD-Dev] References on personality and emotion models

[Robert Zubek]

Hi folks,

Here are some references on personality and emotion models, which I
mentioned in a previous post. Many of the dissertations and tech
reports here should be available online, usually from their authors'
or university web pages. Also, dissertations, tech reports, and
books will usually go into greatest detail; papers tend to be much
more condensed.

NB: Please treat these as starting points for further search -
there's much more available than what I mention here, and the
following is merely a list of 'my favorites'. :)

In addition to the following, a good resource is Magy Seif El-Nasr's list of
links on emotion and artificial characters:

Hope this helps,
