Feel good in the summer but feels down in the winter
Well, every part of the world still has their seasons, whether that is divided by the southern and northern hemisphere, or even in the arctic regions. It then means that maybe someone living in the US with seasonal depression, might find themselves experiencing their episodes at the opposite times of the year than someone from Australia.

Since SAD (seasonal affective disorder) is largely triggered by seasonal changes resulting in less light, it would indeed be good for someone with SAD to move to a sunny place. It would also be good for them to seek professional assistance, as with any psychological issue.
The atmosphere can affect how one feels. Many people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as SAD for short. SAD is a depressive disorder that affects people during the fall or winter months. It remits in the spring months.
It would affect how someone would dress, or how someone would get around. For example if you live in a snowy climate you probably use one of those sleds with dogs. It also affects people's mood. I believe that Russia has one of the highest suicide rates and I know that Russia has one of the highest numbers of alcoholics. This is because in places where there is little sunlight many people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Good question. I guess it depends on what definition of 'affective behavior' is being used. Affective to me implies something that is related to emotion/mood/feelings. Behavior implies an action that is observable. So, I would conclude, 'affective behavior' as something that someone does, which is emotionally-relevant. e.g. saying 'I love you', punching someone through anger, hugging, praising someone, insulting someone, kissing someone, etc. etc. I have heard 'affective behavior' being used in education settings as something completely different. It is defined here in the first paragraph: http://enpub.fulton.asu.edu/mcneill/word_documents/papers/affective_assessment_v5.0.doc
