WHAT IS “ATTITUDES”?
An attitude is a set of beliefs that we hold in relation to an attitude object, where an attitude object is a
person, thing, event or issue. Attitudes can be positive or negative, or we can simply have opinions about issues
without any strong emotional commitment.

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference”

-Winston Churchill

Attitudes are primarily our response to people, places, things, or events in life. It can be referred to as
a person's viewpoint, mindset, beliefs, etc. Our attitude towards people, places, things, or situations determines
the choices that we make.

THREE COMPONENTS OF ATTITUDES

1. Cognitive component- Basically, the cognitive component is capable of being reduced to empirical
factual knowledge.
2. Emotional component- It is based on the feelings.
3. Behavioral Component.- It replicates and reflects our behavior.

Attitude. For that, one would need to

change the way he/she thinks, feels, or
behaves. However, changing the way one
feels is not that easy. The affective
component of attitude is powerful and
difficult to control.

The Main Component of Attitudes

1. Affective –The affective component of
an attitude refers to the emotional or feeling
segment

2. Behavioural- The behavioural

component of an attitude refers to the
intention to behave in a certain way toward
someone or something

3. Cognitive- The cognitive component of

an attitude refers to the opinion or belief
segment of an attitude.

Values help to guide our behavior. Attitudes are the

response that is a result of our values. Values decide
what we think as for right, wrong, good, or unjust.
Attitudes are our likes and dislike towards
things, people, and objects.
