Emotion is the identifiable specific feeling, and affect to refer to the liking/disliking aspect of the specific feeling.
Emotions are strong, relatively uncontrolled feelings that affect behavior.
They are strongly linked to needs, motivation, and personality.
Unmet needs create motivation which is related to the arousal component of emotion.
Personality also plays a role, e.g., some people are more emotional than others, a consumer trait referred to as affect intensity.

Emotion in Advertising
Emotional content in ads can enhance attention, attraction, and maintenance capabilities.
Emotional messages may be processed more thoroughly due to their enhanced level of arousal.
Emotional ads may enhance liking of the ad itself.
Repeated exposure to positive-emotion-eliciting ads may increase brand preference through classical conditioning.
Emotion may operate via high-involvement processes especially if emotion is decision relevant.
