[[File:BloomsTaxonomy-Affective 01.png|thumb|upright=0.75|A scaffolding hierarchy of the affective domain related to learning]]
Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react [[emotion]]ally and their ability to feel other living things' pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target the awareness and growth in [[Attitude (psychology)|attitude]]s, emotion, and feelings.

There are five levels in the affective domain, moving through the lowest-order processes to the highest:

* Receiving: The lowest level; the student passively pays attention. Without this level, no learning can occur. Receiving is about the student's memory and recognition as well.
* Responding: The student actively participates in the learning process. Not only attends to a stimulus, but the student also reacts in some way.
* Valuing: The student attaches a value to an object, phenomenon, or piece of information. The student associates a value or some values to the knowledge they acquired.
* Organizing: The student can put together different values, information, and ideas and accommodate them within their own [[Schema (psychology)|schema]]. The student is comparing, relating, and elaborating on what has been learned.
* Characterizing: At this level, the student tries to build abstract knowledge.
