Describing the Affective Domain: Saying What We Mean

Chapter 3 in Affect and Mathematical Problem Solving, 1989, pp 37-45 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract For some time, I have been aware of problems with the definitions we use for what is typically called the affective domain. In discussions about the affective domain, psychologists, mathematics educators interested in research on problem solving, and mathematics educators interested in research on attitudes toward mathematics have had difficulty communicating clearly with one another owing to, in part, the lack of common usage of terms. These three groups of people seem to be using the same terms to mean different things and different terms to mean the same thing. The following quote from Herb Simon communicates some of my concerns.
