Report #22977121 Attitude Ahmad Ali Alsharidah 2023101825 1 Introduction Attitude refers to a psychological tendency that influences how individuals evaluate and respond to various objects, people, or situations. It encompasses our beliefs, feelings, and behavioral inclinations toward these subjects. Attitudes can be positive, negative, or neutral, and they play a crucial role in shaping our interactions with the world around us. 1 Attitudes are formed through a combination of personal experiences, social influences, and cultural contexts. They can impact our decisions, guide our behaviors, and influence our perceptions of ourselves and others. Understanding attitudes is essential in fields like psychology , marketing, and sociology, as they provide insight into human behavior and can inform strategies for communication, persuasion, and social change. U l timately, attitudes not only reflect our individual viewpoints but also serve as a bridge between our internal thoughts and external actions. Definition Attitude is conventionally categorized into three components: cognitive, behavioral, and affective. However, contemporary discussions increasingl y prioritize the affective aspect, focusing on an individual's emotional response to an object, brand, or similar entity. Q u estions such as whether the brand is perceived positively or negatively, or if it is considered likable, are central to thi s perspective. While the significance of the cognitive and 2 behavioral components remains acknowledged, they are no longer viewed as essentia REPORT #22977121 l elements. Characteristics/Nature of Attitude Attitudes function as important determinants in the way we interpret and interact with a particular facet of the society. T h ese attitudes are hierarchical, consisting of some evaluative beliefs, feelings and predisposition to act in particular ways. How inclined or disinclined we are to particular aspects greatly determines how we relate with them. We, for instance, seem to be more active in the pursuit, action or attachment to things we like while w e look for, shun away from or disassociate from those we dislike. Fu ndamentally, an attitude is a type of manifestation of an individualʼs preference and or non-preferences on the different entities. They register all the information that they receive by categorizing it as something tha t they would appreciate, enjoy or dislike. An attitude can also be described as a relatively permanent and strongly held tendency or readiness to respond or act in a certain way towards an object, circumstance , thought, substance or a person. 3 This generalization refers to behavioral readiness or behavioral response in relation to an object o r event that the individual connects emotional feelings to. The attitudes are comprised of three main components: Cognitive: This aspect of an attitude deals with the facts or information that an individual has about other person or an object as well as the attitudes of that person o r object. Af fective: This component is focused on the affective response which is how one feels about the unstated matters within a conversation or an actor within that conversation.
