Abstract

Recently, there has been much interest in the study of the formation of groups of agents that cause interactions between agents and invent new functions. We gave some agents an action rule based on the interactions of human feelings by using a circumplex model. It had been decided that the parameters of feelings in this model should have only two axes. In this report, eight basic action dimensions and pure feelings on four corresponding axes were given to agents as a model of feelings and actions based on the multiple factor analysis theory of R. Plutchik, and the behavioral characteristics of the group of agents were examined.
