| | Affection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Affection (from latin ad, and facere, meaning "to do something to") is an emotion that derives from the recognition of one's own values in the character of another. | | | The nature of this element is a problem which has been provisionally, but not conclusively, solved by many psychologists; the method is necessarily experimental, and all experiments on feeling are peculiarly difficult. | | | The main objections to this are that it does not explain the infinite variety of phenomena, and that it disregards the distinction which most philosophers admit between higher and lower pleasures. |

| | What is Affection? |
| | Affection is provided through the execution of any type of work (non-remunerated work in the modern human species) done in benefit of the survival of another individual and, therefore, it is transferable, limited and accumulative. | | | This way, emotion and affection are intimately related, with the result that we refer to the affection received with a similar term to the one we use to call the emotion that it produces us. | | | The relationship between affection and emotion lies in that we experience a positive emotion when we receive affection. |

| | Sex Roles: A Journal of Research: "I love you, man": overt expression of affection in male-male interaction |
| | This effect may result from the ability to attribute such affectionate behaviors to the demands of the situation, further insulating relational partners from the risky attributions their affectionate behaviors might otherwise invite. | | | Specifically, the type of relationship and elements of the context may individually or collectively influence how appropriate men perceive affectionate behaviors to be in their same-sex relationships. | | | Rabinowitz (1991) suggested that in emotionally charged contexts, such as a wedding, a graduation, or a funeral, it may be more appropriate for men to hug or say they love each other, even though they may consider these behaviors to be inappropriate in other, more emotionally neutral contexts (see also Doyle, 1989). |

| | Comparing Cloud's Affection, Analysis |
| | First of all, Cloud displays twice as much affection to Aerith than to Tifa when affection is defined by displays of caring, concern, helpfulness, thoughtfulness, kindness, support, protection, consideration, personal interest, and remembrance. | | | In the same way that the Date mechanism limited Cloud’s ability to express his love to either woman, it also limited Cloud’s ability to express lingering grief over Aerith’s death since this may also have contradicted earlier choices made by the player. | | | Secondly, the number of non-optional interactions between Cloud and each woman is approximately the same, which indicates that Cloud’s relationship with each woman receives an equal amount of focus during the course of the game. |
