Affect (like the adjective affective) refers to the experience of feeling or emotion. The affective domain is one of three classic domains in psychology, the other two being cognitive and conative (i.e. having to do with desire).
"For beauty is the beginning of terror we are still able to bear, and why we love it so is because it so serenely disdains to destroy us" Rilke's First Duino Elegy
