Taking the affective domain into account from a cognitive perspective
Taking the affective domain into account from a cognitive perspective involves exposing and describing the situation, recognizing the affective dimensions at issue, and being able to list the causes and consequences of actions underway or already completed. Recognizing affective reactions makes it possible to take these reactions into account as they emerge, and to draw on the experience to adapt solutions to other contexts on the basis of one's own affective reactions, those of others, and those that emerge from the interaction. Taking the affective domain into account from a cognitive perspective requires an understanding of the overall situation that enables one to take the critical distance necessary to act appropriately to foster a change (for further explanation, see Lafortune, 2008a).
