Research works on human behaviour modelling and simulation
continue to increase in recent years. Indeed, emotion and personality are amongthe most important human characteristics that influence behaviour. Particularly, during emergencies, emotional dynamics have a major influence on individual
and collective behaviours. In this paper, we aim to provide an integrated review on this challenging and multidisciplinary field. We give first an overview of computational models of emotions and personalities. Then, we expose and discuss emotional and behavioural models. An emphasis is given to the role of
internal and external emotional dynamics in the production of realistic behaviours during emergencies. Internal emotional dynamics affect cognitive processes at an individual level. However, external emotional dynamics, studied through phenomena such as empathy or emotional contagion, are
essential to simulate collective emotional dynamics.
