Best Answer

The verb "to affect" is stressed on the second syllable (ah-FECT).

When used as a noun (a psychological term), the stress is on the first syllable (AH-fect).

*Note that the very common slurring of the first syllable to (uh) makes the distinction impossible between affect (the verb) and effect (usually a noun).
