Like all job applicants, veterans have to face the ubiquitous employment interview and pass this potential hurdle to civilian sector employment. So, because of the uniqueness of transitioning from the military to civilian employment, the present paper sought to identify perceived interviewing strengths and weaknesses of veteran interviewees from (a...

Enabling continuous and unobtrusive monitoring of stress is essential for delivering personalized stress interventions at opportune moments. To achieve automatic stress detection on a time-continuous basis, reliable moment-to-moment ratings of stress are required. However, the current research lacks a large-scale multimodal dataset that provides ti...

Biosignals from wearable sensors have shown great potential for capturing environmental distress that pedestrians experience from negative stimuli (e.g., abandoned houses, poorly maintained sidewalks, graffiti, and so forth). This physiological monitoring approach in an ambulatory setting can mitigate the subjectivity and reliability concerns of tr...

Urban built environments often include many negative stimuli (e.g., unleashed dogs, dead animals, litter, graffiti, abandoned vehicles) that are linked with stress symptomatology among urban populations. Biosignals (e.g., electrodermal activity, gait patterns, and blood volume pulse) can help assess pedestrian distress levels induced by negative en...

Public speaking is a vital skill for making good impressions, effectively exchanging ideas, and influencing others. Yet, public speaking anxiety (PSA) ranks as a top social phobia. Recent advancements in wearable devices and ubiquitous virtual reality (VR) interfaces can help measure and mitigate PSA. This research quantifies PSA through bio-behavi...

We present an analytic provenance data repository that can be used to study human analysis activity, thought processes, and software interaction with visual analysis tools during exploratory data analysis. We conducted a series of user studies involving exploratory data analysis scenario with textual and cyber security data. Interactions logs, thin...
