3. The Affective Domain The affective domain (emotions or feelings) may be juxtaposed to the cognitive side. The development of affective states or feelings involves a variety of personality factors, feelings both about ourselves and about others with who m we come into contact. Benjamin Bloom’s definition of the affective domain: Receiving: persons must be aware of the environment sorrounding, and be willing to receive and to give controlled or selected attention to a stimulus. Responding: the person is willing to respond voluntarily without coercion, and then to receive satisfaction from that response. Valuing: placing worth on a thing, a behavior, or a person. Orgavinzation: system of beliefs, determining interrelationalships among them, and establishing a hierarchy. Value system: individuals become characterized by and understand themselves.
