Abstract: Situated affectivity is concerned with the way humans make use of environmental structures, so-called ›scaffolds,‹ in order to shape or in some other way affect their own affective processing, or, as discussed more recently, in order to invade the minds of others. While ever more examples of such scaffolds are brought to light, effectively broadening our understanding of the scope they can take on, one crucial question has mostly been left aside: What needs to be taken into account in order to understand why certain scaffolds are effective while others are not. This paper addresses this gap by proposing an explanatory framework that carves out some of the most prominent factors contributing to the effectiveness of scaffolds. In the end, the paper attempts to shed some light on the risks of technological resources as being fertile grounds for effective cases of mind invading scaffolds.
