Literary notes about affective (AI summary)
Literary usage of "affective" spans a wide array of disciplines, often denoting elements related to emotion, sentiment, and mood. In philosophical and sociological works, it designates the experiential, emotional aspects of human behavior that accompany intellectual or moral functions ([1], [2], [3]). It is employed to describe everything from the emotional basis of nationalism and group morale ([4], [5]) to the more clinical descriptions of mood disorders and affective psychoses ([6], [7]). Additionally, "affective" underscores the interplay between feeling and action, highlighting how personal emotions influence conduct and social relations ([8], [9]), while also emphasizing the uniqueness of each individual's subjective emotional experience ([10]).
