Emotional consideration was the process of acknowledging and accepting the emotional ups and downs of a situation.
Because Data was not affected by feelings or emotional considerations, he considered himself closer to being Vulcan than Human; however, he was not attracted to Vulcan philosophy. He felt that although their devotion to logic had a certain appeal in its simple purity, he found overall that this was a somewhat stark philosophy, lacking beauty and joy. (TNG: "Data's Day")
