Who would read this figure in an academic paper on emotion modeling and immediately start thinking of how to use it for ttrpg social encounters... and has two thumbs?

I would only use it for NPCs, not characters.

I'd do something like
If Angry:
Attempt to anger more: 90% success rate + modifiers
Redirect anger to another: Values dependent + plausibility of facts check (INT). Does the argument address their social values? Roll a die if DM didn't entirely decide what the NPC is like.
Attempt to calm 40% base success rate + modifiers
