agree  Marek Daroszewski (MrMarDar): i taki termin najczęściej spotyka się mówiąc o inteligencji emocjonalnej
9 hrs
  -> Zgadza sie, dziekuje bardzo :)
neutral  Polangmar: "Affection" to sympatia w znaczeniu czułość/uczucie (także pociąg do kogoś) - zupełnie nie pasuje do kontekstu. Nie wiem też, jak z tym miałaby się wiązać inteligencja emocjonalna.
15 hrs
  -> Chyba mylisz z "attraction". Affection to wlasnie termin najczesciej uzywany w psychologii na okazywanie tych "pozytywnych przyjacielskich uczuc"
