what is the meaning of affectivity?

Question

affectivity in relegious life

Answer 1

Before going in for affectvity in religious life let's see what it signifies in mundane, day to day life

HPD is a nality disorder which involves a pattern of excessive emotional expression and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval It usually begins in early adulthood.

The essential feature of this disorder is a pervasive and excessive pattern of emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic. They may be inappropriately provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others.The cause is unknown, but childhood events and genetics may both be involved. It is rarely found in men. However, in these instances there may be additional difficulties with regard to this person's sexual identification.

People with this disorder are usually able to function at a high level and can be successful socially and at work. However, it may affect a person's social or romantic relationships or their ability to cope with losses or failures. People with this disorder may seek treatment for depression when romantic relationships end. They often fail to see their own situation realistically, instead tending to dramatize and exaggerate. Responsibility for failure or disappointment is usually blamed on others. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and have trouble dealing with frustration. Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing depression

A concrete instance of such a disorder with eligious overtones had recently been reported in papers. A senior police officer in Norhern India( a DIG) who is supposed to be in starched uniform attends office in a safee and blouse with a nosering and earrings as well. He identified himseof with Sadhwi Meera, the devotee of Lord Krishna. He does not care for the strict office dress code and in fact attends his office and work in the same r egalia.Being a highgrade officer the staff also cannot do much about it. His wife took up the case and complained that he does not discharge his family responsiilities and does not even support her financially. The Court hsd to iitervene in the matter and ask him to give her mainteance. Friends and superiors tried to argue him out of this practice but it has no helped much.He hs made a laughing stock of himself as also of the Police department.

Answer 2

In English, affect refers to emotional response, as distinct from effect which is the result of action. The "affect" a person experiences or shows is used by psychiatrists to distinguish mental condition. Psychopaths show little "affect" - so minimal empathy with others. But outside the psych surgery people can certainly empathise with others, quietly, without histrionics or display - and often when people visibly share the same "affect" as another (anger or tears, say) they are unconsciously using the others' display as a kind of hat-peg on which to hang their own repressed past distress. So it's complex, like all human behaviour. Presumably in religious terms the word has similar implications. Perhaps the more a religious person shouts Hallelujah or its equivalent at the end of prayers or sings hymns loudest, the more "affectivity" they'd be showing? Of what sort? But they certainly seem to be enjoying themselves! Personally I have quieter ways.
