Conclusion
Psychologists consider affective processes to be the basis of feelings and emotions. Feelings are the result of affect, arousal, cognition, and perception in the present moment and within the social environment for human beings.
Affect is considered by some social scientists and psychologists to be a critical building block of feelings and emotions in both conscious and non-conscious states. Some argue that affect is pre-cognitive and some contend that affect is post-cognitive, based on likes, dislikes, preferences, and sensation. Affect is also a factor in emotional development, mood, arousal, and consideration of the present moment.
The influence of affect on human behavior ranges from primal, instinctual reaction and arousal to post-cognitive consideration of one's own mortality and mood. This elemental, sensory building block of emotion plays a critical role in the human communicative processes within the social and psychological domains.
