Câu hỏi về câu ví dụ, định nghĩa và cách sử dụng của "Affective"

A: I did a little bit of research into the term, and it appears to have been described by a physician named Talcott Parsons.

Usually when scientists give names to their terms, it has a very specific and often less-understood reason.

I'm sure that "Emotional neutrality" would make sense too -- but this is just isn't what Talcott Parsons called it.

He may have chosen to use the word "Affect", which perhaps was a common word among his field at the time to describe something very specific. Remember that the more involved you are in a field, the more that certain words take on more nuanced and specific meanings.

(For instance I study Machine Learning and when people describe a term like "Loss", we don't mean someone who has lost something. We mean a specific mathematical score that describes how well an algorithm performed.)

I encourage you to consider this instead, and know that this is why people often want to be the ones to name things - they believe they have the best logic and reason for why something has the name it does.

So we can see "affect" does not mean effect/affect. (In fact, these two "affects" are pronounced separately to different it.)
