[Interpretation/Affect] FC:CF+C

[Interpretation/Affect] FC:CF+C

Aliases

• FC:CF+C
• affect ratio
• form-color ratio
• color-form ratio

Definition

FC:CF+C expresses how form and color are combined across chromatic color responses. In interpretation, it helps estimate whether emotion is more formally modulated or more directly discharged.

Interpretation

• If FC dominates, affective expression is usually more controlled and shaped by formal modulation.
• If CF+C dominates, feeling may be expressed more directly, immediately, or with less modulation.
• A more balanced pattern suggests a mix of control and direct expression.
• This ratio says more about style of emotional expression than about total emotional quantity.

Cautions

• When there are only a few color responses, the ratio is less stable.
• A stronger CF+C side should not by itself be treated as proof of pathology or impulsive acting out.
• Pure C may show a more direct affective discharge that is not fully captured by this ratio.
• The route name is FC_CF_C, but interpretation still considers the coding position of Cn in the broader affect context.
