Abstract

In this paper, we present a new cognitive model based on Psychology for simulating human behavior in realistic virtual humans. To do this, we use the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), taking into account the personality scales defined in it to endow the virtual humans with a real personality and form a set of fuzzy rules used to obtain the emotional influences that modify virtual humans' affective state according to their personality and the events they perceive from their environment. We also implemented an EBDI-based action selection by using an event calculus definition. This action selection mechanism allows virtual humans to perform actions based on their current emotional state, their beliefs, their desires and their intentions. These actions define virtual humans' behavior for each situation they experience in the environment. As case study, we present an scenario where a male virtual human with a psychopathic personality and a female virtual human with a hysteric personality are interacting in a real way.
