感情 (gǎn qíng) is the everyday word for personal emotions and the emotional bond between people (friendship, love). It is more concrete and interpersonal than 情感 (qíng gǎn, HSK5), which is a broader, more abstract term for 'emotion' as a concept or in psychology. 亲情 (qīn qíng, HSK5) is specifically family affection.
