seems a little anxious, but not unduly so Explanation: "Affect" in psychology describes a feeling or an emotion. The person is not necessary being described as having an anxiety disorder. The sentence starts with "il dégage un affect..." ; what is being described is how the person comes across at that particular moment in time to the observer. Something that is exacerbated is exaggerated (in the sense of being heightened, or intensified). I think plain English can do the job here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-07-03 18:51:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Not necessarily. In fact, not at all here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-07-03 18:54:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, the "description" here might help confirm what I have just posted, that is, that "affect" is emotion/feeling as perceived by an observer. https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Psychologic... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2018-07-03 19:05:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The first part of the sentence describes how the individual "présente une psychomotricité très légèrement tendue". In other words, he presents as being slightly tense/displays signs of mild tension, seems and little anxious, but not unduly so. |
