    Study Notes

    The Tri-Component Attitude Model

    • The model shows three components of attitude: cognition, affect, and conation
    • Cognition involves a person's knowledge and perceptions of the object. This is often expressed as beliefs about whether the object has certain characteristics.
    • Affect involves a person's feelings or emotions toward the object.
    • Conation involves the likelihood that a person will undertake a specific action or behave in a way toward the attitude object. This is often reflected as a person's intention to buy in consumer research.
