AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Attitude is an individual’s predisposed state of mind regarding a value and it is precipitated through a responsive expression towards oneself, a person, place, thing, or event (the attitude object) which in turn influences the individual’s thought and action.

Detailed explanation-2: -Attitudes are thought to have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge).

Detailed explanation-3: -To ensure well-being, the four attitudes must become behavioral habits. The brain forms habits through repetition. Mindfully practice connection, improvement, self-reward, and appreciation, until you begin to do them automatically.

Detailed explanation-4: -An attitude object is the concept around which an attitude is formed and can change over time. This attitude represents an evaluative integration of both cognition and affect in relation to the attitude object. An example of an attitude object is a product (e.g., a car).
