✦ Synopsis

The community social psychology literature shows some evidence that affective factors are involved in community interventions, but there has been no systematic approach to the study of emotion. We define and characterize emotion as affect to study its relationship with consciousness-raising and action within community processes. Our theoretical position hinges on three main concepts: self-esteem, affective binding, and commitment towards community work. Our perspective is illustrated by a Participatory Action Research project in a poor neighborhood in Caracas, Venezuela. We observed and manipulated the emotional component. The results indicated the importance of emphasizing the affective factor in this kind of work. We describe a Consciousness-Affect-Action model to study community processes.
