【 摘 要 】

An informal caregiver is exposed to an emotional overload, which can lead to high stress levels. To provide caregivers with awareness about their emotions, we propose an emotion-tracking platform based on Facebook status updates. For this purpose, we trained several classification models to assign emotions to Facebook status updates. Then, we developed a Facebook application that connected to each user’s profile, gathered their status updates, classified their emotions, and generated a summary. We tested the application with 54 participants, finding the relative precision to be 84%, while the platform was perceived to be valuable and novel. Participants thought the application allowed them to think about their emotions and the information they share.
