Abstract
[In this chapter, I define the affective component of amusement by critically assessing superiority theories, release theories and play theories. In Section 1, I assess superiority theories to extract a key insight, in Section 2, I assess release theories to extract a key insight, in Section 3, I assess play theories to extract a key insight and, in Section 4, I combine these key insights to define the affective component of amusement. Finally, in Section 5, I summarise the key claims of this chapter.]
