An affective modelfor attention shift is presented in this paper, which integrates the emotion and personality mechanism with cognitive system to manage attention resource, and shift attention.Emotional states are viewed as the agent's attention control modes. It can regulate attention parameters, which may result in interrupting the current cognitive process and shifting the attention. Personalities are set to determine the global performance of attention control and lay the basis to create different individual agent. We implemented and tested the proposed model in simulated situations. The simulation results indicate the effectiveness of the proposal, and the agent's behaviors exhibit different personality with the effective regulation ofemotion mechanism.
