Results: In addition, in social interactions and establishment of connection with other individuals in society, the need to this aspect of human growth is felt. But the key point is that in expressing emotions and feelings, each person at first step must have an accurate understanding of his/her emotions such as affection, anger, hatred, envy, happiness, sadness, etc., and in the second step s/he must know and understand how, when, where and by interacting with whom s/he uses and shows his/her emotions and feelings. Conclusion: In the present paper, we aimed to investigate affection as one of the most critical needs of human being and study its forms and grounds, and finally analyze the effects of applying this divine gift on individuals’ mental health.References
