Talk:Affective science

message: I would be against merging the "Affective science" phrase into another entry of Wikipedia knowledge.  
Affect is a very interesting word for modern thinkers.  Affect causes effect.  Logically, this puts affective action well beyond the confines of mere psychology.  We are dealing with more than emotion here.  Affect has, is, it's own ontology, an on-to-logic: or so it seems to me.
If we can understand affect, in a material and energetic sense, then I believe we go a long way towards resolving the a prior vs. a posteriori argument that seems to dominate the real vs. ideal debates.

thread_title:  Words mean things 

message: Affective science is not necessarily at odds with cognitive science, even though it is possible to cast it in such a light. Many of the methods used in affective science are natural extensions of those used in cognitive science. To that end, I think it is a bit controversial to describe here an "affective revolution" related to "massive changes in social values and life styles" and "a major scientific paradigm shift away from exclusively rational models of man." Furthermore, the specific nature of these major social and scientific changes is unclear and uncited.  For that reason, I have removed the statements, pending further discussion.  That said, many thanks to 129.194.8.73 for much needed efforts in expanding this article.

thread_title:  Paradigm shift 

message: This is the closest relation to the word affect (in which I was looking for), but I still did not get the answers I wanted. I wish this main article could be expanded in means of showing a difference in the words affect verses effect. I'm sure there are a lot of people who might not even know there was a difference.

replies: text: i don't think that the meaning of affect vs. effect would be well placed in this article.  Such a discussion probably belongs on the affect page or in the wiktionary (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/affect) where there already is one.  however, for the best answer i've seen to your question, check out http://wsu.edu/~brians/errors/affect.html ... as the emotional meaning of affect is certainly not the only use of the word. sallison 07:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How do you mean? Affect as in "The sun affects my skin"? Effect as in "The effect of too much sun may be skin cancer"? You can look these words up in the dictionary. If you mean affective, as used in this article, then it means an observed mood in another person. A common term in Psychology is "Affect was labile" meaning the observed person's mood seems to be unstable.  --Mattisse 17:44, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  meaning of affect 

message: Oppose Although this page will not merit or get many links and few folks will "Go" to it from the search box, it might have some value in giving people a chance to decide whether they want to go to a general psych article, Emotion, or a more technical article, Affective neuroscience. The article even gives them more choices: mood, affect, affect display, and even feelings (with appropriate warnings for a scientist). I don't think that we would want WP to get too reductionist in its approach to a rather far-reaching subject area like emotion. DCDuring 19:53, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger

message: i think this section will be well placed in emotions. Further it would be appropriate to merge the entire page with affect (psychology). I guess there would be no strong opposition to this Kpmiyapuram (talk) 16:43, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Measuring emotions 

message: It has been suggested that this article be merged with Affect (psychology). 
Oppose. One article (Affect - psychology) discusses a phenomenon as it is conceptualised in psychology. The other discusses a branch of science. Neither could be adequately described in a couple of paragraphs as a subsection of another article. Each merits its own article. Your thoughts would be appreciated so we can resolve this soon.
