Definition Affect is a term used in psychology to denote the broad field of emotional- and mood-based experience of the human subject and is a concept deployed in the poststructural theory of Deleuze and Guattarri ( 1987 ) and related fields of social and cultural theory, to describe the me...
Defined in this way, felt positive affect is theorized to provide the individual with a heuristic cue that one’s current status is favorable, and all is well. Barrett has described subjective pleasantness as a signal that one’s internal ‘body budget’ is in a good state — that physical...
The authors also discuss some of the important practical implications resulting from ways that this heuristic impacts how people perceive and evaluate risk, and, more generally, how it influences all human decision making. Finally, some important implications of the affect heuristic for communication ...
(low effort, closed), motivated processing (high effort, closed), heuristic processing (low effort, open), and substantive processing (high effort, open). Responses based on the direct access and motivated processing styles should be impervious to affect infusion, but heuristic and substantive ...
(Aldrich & Cliff,2003), as we have suggested. An affective state is a temporary state and often has no long-lasting effect, but the development and the survival of new ventures need perseverance and long-term efforts. In addition, heuristic decision-making could be more effective than ...
mechanistic components of flexibility holds critical implications for elucidating psychological explanations for resilience in the face of potential trauma20,21. Yet, despite converging evidence from both a top-down, heuristic approach13and a bottom-up, systematic approach17supporting the adaptiveness of ...
Lanza and Marinescu (2005) proposed a heuristic for god class detection. They consider that if a class uses more than few attributes of other classes and has high functional complexity and has low cohesion, then it is a god class. They define the thresholds for few attributes, high functional...
For example, when observing the race of a target, the perceived similarity to self based on skin colour may be used as a heuristic by the observer that is interpreted as a signal to cooperate with the target or compete with them. Additionally, a field study of pastoral ethnic groups in ...
