  Strategies using Facial Expressions and Gaze Behaviors for Animated Agents - Method of Selecting a Volitional Facial Expression in Game Theory - Soft Game Theory

  I assume that the player's feelings toward the opponent are caused by the opponent's nonverbal behavior (for example, facial expressions and gaze behaviors) with the messages that are exchanged in the Soft Game Theory.
