affectivity

Etymology

affective + -ity

noun

  1. Ability to experience affects: feelings, emotions, judgement, motivations, etc.
    At the same time, the kinds of affectivities evoked in us, such as fear and gratitude, also depend partly on how we envision and interpret the objects in question.
