Hi cibi..
Affect: The subjective state of emotional experience.
On a spectrum you can have extremes of Positive and Negative emotions. How one subjectively feels rather than how one is sensed, is what is trying to be measured.
The terms in the questionnaire statements is meant to get a sense of your AFFECT.
Optimism is both a quality and an emotion.
Absence of negative affect measures "some" affect.
You could read about the scale given in the website itself
