A method for deciding the behavior of an affective model device, the method comprising:

• storing at least two of:
• a first affective component that is based on input specificity and a variation interval,
• a second affective component comprising a relatively higher input specificity than the first affective component,
• a third affective component comprising a relatively smaller variation interval than the first affective component, and
• a fourth affective component comprising a relatively smaller variation interval than the second affective component and a relatively higher input specificity than the third affective component;
• and
• deciding a behavior of the affective model device based on at least one of:
• the first affective component, the second affective component, the third affective component, and the fourth affective component.
