The document defines an attitude as a psychological tendency to evaluate an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor. It notes that while attitudes often involve affect or emotions, affect is distinct from the measure of favorability that defines an attitude. Attitudes contain cognitive, affective, and behavioral components, though some views see the cognitive and behavioral aspects as derivative of the underlying affective component.
4. An attitude is an expression of favor or disfavor toward a
person, place, thing, or event (the attitudeobject). Prominent
psychologist Gordon Allport once described attitudes "the most distinctive and
indispensable concept in contemporary
6. "a psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular entity with
some degree of favor or disfavor."[2] Though it is sometimes common to define an
attitude as affect toward an object, affect (i.e., discrete emotions or overall arousal)
is generally understood to be distinct from attitude as a measure of favorability.[3]
Defination of attitude
“A Psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular
entity with some degree of favor or disfavor." Though it is sometimes
common to define an attitude as affect toward an object, affect (i.e.,
discrete emotions or overall arousal) is generally understood to be
distinct from attitude as a measure of favorability.
8. An attitude contains cognitive, affective,
and behavioural components.
A criticism of the tripartite view of attitudes is
that it requires cognitive, affective, and behavioural
associations of an attitude to be consistent, but this
may be implausible. Thus some views of attitude
structure see the cognitive and behavioural
components as derivative of affect or affect and
behaviour as derivative of underlying beliefs.
10. Behaviour became an important construct in
early 20th century psychology with the
advent of the paradigm known subsequently
as "behaviourism.“
Behaviourism was a reaction against "faculty"
psychology which purported to see into or
understand the mind without the benefit of
scientific testing.
11. A counter-argument against the high
relationship between behavioral intention and
actual behavior has also been proposed, as
the results of some studies show that,
because of circumstantial limitations,
behavioral intention does not always lead to
actual behavior.
Namely, since behavioral intention cannot be
the exclusive determinant of behavior where
an individual's control over the behavior is
incomplete
16. Positive attitude helps you cope more easily with
the daily affairs of life. It brings optimism into
your life, and makes it easier to avoid worry and
negative thinking. If you adopt it as a way of life,
it will bring constructive changes into your life,
and makes them happier, brighter and more
successful.
With a positive attitude you see the bright side of
life, become optimistic, and expect the best to
happen. It is certainly a state of mind that is well
worth developing.
18. A negative attitude is characterized by a
great disdain for everything. Someone who
constantly points out the negative in
everything.
A negative attitude is contagious and
therefore avoiding people with one is the best
way of prevention. Once you have a negative
attitude, you will unlikely be able to recover
and self fulfilling prophecy takes a hold.
