A
Understanding Affect and Effect
During the storm, the loud thunder had a noticeable effect on the behavior of the animals. The sudden noise seemed to affect their sense of calm, causing them to scatter in different directions. The effect of the storm was felt for hours afterward, as the landscape was left muddy and shaken. In some cases, a person's mood can be affected by external events, influencing their actions and decisions. Recognizing how external factors influence internal responses is key to understanding human behavior. Sometimes, the effect of a well-placed word or gesture can significantly change a conversation's outcome.
