Which domain of learning addresses values and feelings?

• A. Affective
• B. Cognitive
• C. Psychomotor
• D. Social

Answer: (A)

Affective domain focuses on values and feelings. In Bloom's taxonomy, this domain covers how learners receive experiences, respond to them, value them, organize them into a system of beliefs, and embody those values in behavior. This is where professional nursing values such as empathy, caring, integrity, and advocacy develop, shaping how a nurse interacts with patients and makes ethical choices. Cognitive domain deals with knowledge and thinking skills, and psychomotor with physical skills; social aspects relate to interactions but aren’t the primary focus for values and feelings in the traditional framework. So, values and feelings are addressed by the affective domain.
