Emotionalism

An area of Philosophical thought that seeks to understand the emotions attributed to god. The claim of an Emotionalist is that emotions as an evolutionary mechanism for survival would not apply to a perfect, self-sufficient being.

A cognitive understanding of emotions has demonstrated a link between emotional states and motivational responses. God as a perfect, self-sufficient being would not have motivations toward survival or a need for love. An eternal being for which there is no equal or greater by nature would not give rise to emotions but instead would act out its own will without regard of the emotional state of its creation.

Emotionalism explores the emotional and motivational mechanisms of a creator god.

Emotionality

A term used by development executives in Hollywood as a way to avoid actually figuring out a problem with a character and/or story.

Listen Bill, your script is lacking emotionality. We want you to take some time, work on that, and come back to us when you think you've hit your mark. Because, at the end of the day, we're just going to need more emotionality in order to win over an audience.
