Which domain of development is focused on growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude or self)?

  1. Cognitive

  2. Affective

  3. Psychomotor

  4. Behavioral

The correct answer is: Affective

The domain of development that is focused on growth in feelings or emotional areas is the affective domain. The other options, cognitive, psychomotor, and behavioral, are all focused on different aspects of development such as thinking, physical skills, and observable actions. While these areas may also impact attitudes and self-perception, the affective domain specifically focuses on emotional growth and self-awareness. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate answer for this question.
