Affective action was part of Max Webers Verstehen or "the ideal types of action". It describes that people may be motivated to behave in certain ways out of a love for an inaminate object which may have been assignined physical attributes by its owner. For example there was one character in the highly popular and influential Cartoon Network show Ed, Edd & Eddy who insisted upon carrying around a plank of wood but actually referring to it on first name bases simply as "Plank". The child would be motivated to do actions out of love for Plank and many say this affectionate, if not unsettling, relationship was intended by the writers of Ed, Edd & Eddy to be a metaphor for affective action.

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
