Agent based social simulations are becoming prevailing tools in the context of human behavior studies. Researchers in psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience have proved the prominent role of emotion on cognition and behavior. Particularly, during emergency situations, human emotional dynamics have a major effect on behavior. In this context, we aim to study the role of emotions in reproducing human-like emotional civilian agents. The objective of the current research work is to model and to simulate human emotional dynamics and their effect on the behaviors of civilians in emergencies. In this article, we describe an emotional agent model that integrates a computational model of emotions. Agent perceptions are subject to a cognitive appraisal process to generate agent emotions. These have an effect on the generation of agent behavior.
