nothing more than that the content of experience
is not completely accounted for in analysis in terms
of cognitive factors only; that the non-cognitive'
or affective factors are as truly sui generis as are
the cognitive factors.

Affective content includes not only the elements
(or quasi-elements) just mentioned, but also the
more complex factors called emotions and emotional
tone. For example, the content may be joyful,
pathetic, humorous, or revolting.

Pleasure, pain, interest, desire, and repugnance,
may be designated as feelings, or, abstractly, as
feeling. Pleasure and pain are designated as
hedonic tone or algo-hedonic tone; the experience of
pleasure and pain, considered generally, is hedono-
algesis. 1 Desire and aversion are designated ad-
jectively as conative or appetitive, and the experience
of them as conation or appetition.

____________________
1 The term " feeling tone" is commonly given to pleasure-
pain alone: frequently the two qualities are designated as
pleasantness and unpleasantness. Some psychologists apply
the term "feeling tone" also to certain obviously sensory
elements or factors, especially strain and relaxation.

"Feeling" has been much used in the past in the sense of
emotion, but is not so used at present in strict discourse.

Often, however, the term is extended to cover what we
have designated as relational content; thus, a "feeling of
similarity" is not an uncommon expression. In loose speak-
ing, "feeling" is used to designate any sort of content what-
ever.
