Affectionate Communication Received from Spouses Predicts Stress Hormone Levels in Healthy Adults (2008, background): “…both when it is expressed and when it is received, and previous studies have confirmed that expressed and received affection account for unique (as well as shared) variance in outcomes related to physical and mental well-being (Floyd et al., 2005), including assessments of stress and depression.”
Parental Confirmation and Affection as Mediators of Family Communication Patterns and Children's Mental Well-Being (2007, background): “For example, scholars have recently demonstrated that both parental confirmation ( Ellis, 2002 ) and affectionate ( Floyd, Hess, Miczo, Halone, Mikkelson, & Tusing, 2005 ) behaviors are key factors in healthy childhood social development.”

A Review of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education from 2010 to 2020 (2021, unknown): “Based on the maturity of biofeedback technique, such as eyetracking and EEG, affection computing was increasingly adopted to investigate students' internal motivations on learning, such as creativity and responsibility [49, 50].”
