Abstract
The purpose of this paper is formalizing an informal group system model consists of the interpersonal relation system components that are emotional balancing cellular automata designed by agent-based approach. The framework of the interpersonal relation system model is based on the general system theory and the emotional interaction theories, which are Reider's balance theory and Festinger's cognitive dissonance theory. The individual systems that compose an interpersonal relation system model have the environment models and the state-transition models of the neighborhoods. The environment models represent the pressure of emotion and any other things of the neighborhood. The state-transition model represents change of members of the neighborhood with the interaction.
