Today, one of the most important and challenging issues in artificial intelligence is modeling human behavior in virtual environments. Furthermore, studying e-learning environments is in great demand in computer science which requires understanding human behaviors.

Abstract

Today, one of the most important and challenging issues in artificial intelligence is modeling human behavior in virtual environments. Furthermore, studying e-learning environments is in great demand in computer science which requires understanding human behaviors. Thus, considering human behavior factors, such as personality, mood, and emotion, and modeling them in e-learning environments is a challenging issue in artificial intelligence. The purpose of this paper is to review the psychological models of personality used in computer science. In addition, the most important applications of personality models and their direct related topics in learning, i.e. learning style issues in e-learning environments, are presented. The study shows that researchers tend to use models that are simple to implement in virtual world and are as comprehensive as possible to cover all the features of human behavior. Finally, we concluded that models such as the Five Factor Model, the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator personality model, and Felder–Silverman learning styles model have the two most important features, which are simplicity and comprehensiveness. These two features have made these psychology models the most favorable in the virtual world.
