Discussion

seehand Feb 9, 2016:
I agree with Jonathan perhaps ... shows affective responsiveness would be a way to say it ... but - I am not a psychologist ...
Jonathan MacKerron Feb 9, 2016:

reactive


Since "schwingungsfähig" = broad affect, "reactive" fits well in this context.

"A normal range of affect is labeled ”broad”, spontaneous”,”reactive” or “full”.
