Explanation

All four are basic objectives of the affective domain, spanning attending, responding, valuing and characterization.

Attending to something in the environment is the receiving level, the entry point of affective learning.

Showing a definite involvement or commitment reflects the responding level of active participation.

Acting consistently with a new value reflects the valuing and organisation of that value into conduct.

Showing new behaviour as a result of experience reflects characterization, where values shape lasting behaviour.

Krathwohl, Bloom and Masia set out this affective taxonomy in 1964.
