Abstract

The paper considers the influence of text message entropy on human emotional condition for correcting his addictive behavior. The text message is presumed to be transmitted to the recipient by voice. This way of text information transmitting is characteristic for the spheres of education and upbringing. The human emotional condition is evaluated by parameters of galvanic skin response. The influence of entropy on human is analyzed by comparing the value of calculated entropy of text structures in the message transmitted against the recipient's electrodermal resistance parameters. Results of experiment are provided which confirm the hypothesis of text message entropy influencing the human emotional condition. It is recommended to use the results obtained in developing text correction of addictive behavior of dependent people. Addictive behavior is characterized by deviation from the accepted in society behavior standards accompanied by the person's developing a drive to escape the reality by artificial alteration of his psychic condition. Examples of test corrective texts are given that are aimed at mitigation of alcohol and nicotine addictions.
