<p>The present invention relates to a model which treats individual expression in terms of negative or positive reflection of the state of mind on the world, and captures the full range of moods and cognitive states by computationally modeling the notions of 'mind axiology' and 'emotional state'. An exemplary method of determining a mental state comprising: entering words into a computer or similar device; * assigning a value to each word based on various computational criteria; computing a mental state indicator based on the total value of the words is provided.</p>
