pathos
An argumentum ad passiones is an appeal or argument intended to convince the listeners by agitating the emotions.

Rational appeal in persuasive communication relies on logic, facts, and reasoning to convince the audience, while emotional appeal uses feelings, values, and emotions to sway the audience's opinion.
When you appeal to your emotions
An emotion appeal is an effort to convince someone of a particular point of view by stirring up emotions of sympathy or worry or even anger. A rational appeal is when the person is trying to convince the other with the use of intellect and reasonable arguments. Both can be effective but frankly frequently people will say "I know thus and such is right but I just don't feel that way."
Persuasive appeals are techniques used to convince others to adopt a certain belief or take a specific action. Common types include ethos (appeal to credibility/ethics), pathos (appeal to emotions), and logos (appeal to logic/reason). Incorporating a combination of these appeals can enhance the effectiveness of persuasive communication.
An appeal to emotion is a persuasion technique that relies on evoking strong feelings, such as pity, fear, or joy, in order to convince someone of a particular point of view or action. This approach often bypasses logical reasoning and instead plays on the audience's emotions to sway their opinion.
