Affect in psychology is any experience of feeling, emotion, or mood. It is often described as positive or negative. Affect colors how we see the world and how we feel about people, objects, and events.
Because of this, it can also impact our social interactions, behaviors, and judgments. For example, we often make decisions based on our “gut feeling.” When we do this, we rely on what is called the affect heuristic.

Scribbr specializes in editing study-related documents. We proofread:
Scribbr’s Plagiarism Checker is powered by elements of Turnitin’s Similarity Checker, namely the plagiarism detection software and the Internet Archive and Premium Scholarly Publications content databases.
The add-on AI detector is powered by Scribbr’s proprietary software.
The Scribbr Citation Generator is developed using the open-source Citation Style Language (CSL) project and Frank Bennett’s citeproc-js. It’s the same technology used by dozens of other popular citation tools, including Mendeley and Zotero.
You can find all the citation styles and locales used in the Scribbr Citation Generator in our publicly accessible repository on Github.
