Affects would be accurate if the sentence had been constructed differently.
Affects is a verb, which is not in line with the rest of the sentence
To be exact, there is a noun "affect" whose plural would presumably be "affects", but it's a term of art in psychology and absolutely not the word that is wanted here.
