Affect, Emotions, Mood in Psychology

 

Psychologists have used the term affect to refer to the present experience of emotion or feeling. Affect is often contrasted with mood, which refers to an emotional state over a longer period of time, such as feeling happy or sad or angry most days.

Affect, emotions, and mood are the "E" dimension in the four functional components (COPE) of the SCOPES model of human functioning used in organizing assessment and psychotherapy planning. Emotions are complex feeling states linked to physiological (P) responses, thoughts or cognitions (C), and usually represented in Observable Behaviour (O). Our Self (S) varies in awareness of our emotions. And our emotions vary with our Social context (S), especially the people present in the context.
