Study Notes

Attitudes are important in social psychology as they influence an individual's behavior and interactions with others.

Definition of Attitudes

According to Hogg & Vaughan, an attitude in social psychology is a relatively enduring organization of beliefs, feelings, and tendencies that predispose an individual to respond in a preferential manner to an object, person, or group.

Components of an Attitude

Attitudes consist of three components: affective, cognitive, and conative.
The affective component refers to the emotional or feeling aspect of an attitude, encompassing emotions such as likes, dislikes, and feelings of enthusiasm or hostility.

- Affective component: emotional responses and feelings
