Abstract
The work overviews the theoretical models of emotions mainly used by computer scientists in the area of user modeling and sentiment analysis. Central in this regard are the dimensional models in which the body side is crucial, and the cognitive ones in which the evaluation processes give rise to emotions. Special attention is devoted to a socio-cognitive model of emotions in terms of goals and beliefs, focusing on social emotions, both related to image (admiration, bitterness, enthusiasm) and to self-image (pride, shame). Nature, function, and typical body signals of these emotions are overviewed.
