Title
Body Language for Mood Induction Procedures
Abstract
According to the principles of positive psychology (PP), social learning, therapeutic robotics and mood induction procedures (MIPs), we have developed an application to be used as part of a positive MIP in a psychological treatment context. We have used the inexpensive humanoid robot Nao because of its ease of use, which allows the proper interaction with therapists to help them on a regular basis. Our hypothesis is that a rich body language set can compensate the lack of facial expressions in such robots. We run a pilot study in the context of cognitive behavioral therapy for the treatment of Fibromyalgia. This work introduces a new way to contribute to MIPs and to the human-robot interaction (HRI).
