Bus/Financial - Education / Pedagogy / Catalogue describing business course
French term or phrase: affectivité
In a description of a module on negotiation as part of a business course. This is describing the criteria for assessment of the student, who has been filmed during a negotiation session.


"• Evaluation collective sur les domaines de connaissance, d’affectivité, de relations interpersonnelles et du développement personnel"

I am presuming 'affectivité' is here referring to the student's EMOTIONAL response/reaction to the negotiations, e.g. self-control, remaining relaxed if things get tense, etc. Would others say I'm on the right track, and how would you translate this?

handling of the situation

Explanation:
I'm sure you're on the right track, but I think handling is the word to use for it. I don't see the need for the word emotional.
