ABSTRACT
This chapter will begin with Tomkins’ question of how we build a science based on the data from the face. This involves the distinction between affect as an amplifier, which is of brief duration, and affect as magnification, which involves the formation of a script, which is a condensed set of rules that binds time. The difference between recurrent habitual scenes that are not psychologically magnified and affect-powered scripts will be described. A detailed description of the formation of a script will be presented, which will be followed by a description of each of the affect scripts. The chapter ends with a description of affect control scripts that can lead to addiction.
