Affective Evaluations Are More Ordinal

Coauthor(s): Michel Tuan Pham, Ali Faraji Rad, Leonard Lee.

Abstract:
Because of its evolutionary roots, the affective system of evaluation is inherently more ordinal in its architecture than the cognitive system. That is, the affective system focuses more on the relative ranking of target objects on the evaluative dimension than on their absolute values on the same dimension.
