Explanation: Emotional valence is a dimension of emotional experience. Practice or Habit is an accustomed and established way of doing things without thinking and possesses a strong association with emotional valence. After habits are formed they tend to persist and influence human behaviour. The term habit is applicable for individual actions while practice refers to a series of fixed habits.
