Affective presence is defined as the way that individuals consistently make others feel (Eisenkraft & Elfenbein, 2010). In other words, affective presence is the affective response that most people feel after they interact with a particular individual. Affective response is complementary to trait affect, or dispositional affect. Trait affect examines how individuals tend to respond either positively (i.e. positive affectivity) or negatively (i.e. negative affectivity) across a wide range of situations (Diener & Larson, 1984; Oishi, Diener, Scollon, Biswas-Diener, 2004; Penner, Shiffman, Paty, & Fritzsche, 1994).

Implications
This concept builds on the research showing stable individual differences in the emotions that people tend to experience by showing that there are stable individual differences in the emotions that people tend to elicit in others. Those with negative affective presence may be the targets of rudeness or teasing (Scott & Judge, 2009).

Causes
It is unknown exactly how affective presence emerges. It may be that expressive style or behavioral repertoires explain this interpersonally-oriented trait.

Positive outcomes
1.	Centrality in the friendship network (i.e. popularity)

Negative affective presence
1.	High extraversion 2.	Low agreeableness
