According to the ABC model of attitudes, attitudes should be ____
A
Consistent
B
Long-lasting
C
Inconsistent
D
Temporary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Every attitude has three components that are represented in what is called the ABC model of attitudes: A for affective, B for behavioral, and C for cognitive. Although every attitude has these three components, any particular attitude can be based on one component more than another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Here, in the ABC model, the alphabet ‘A’ stands for Affective component, ‘B’ for Behavioural and ‘C’ for the cognitive component. The importance of this model is that to have a proper and thorough understanding of the concept of attitude, all the three components mentioned above must be properly assessed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Indeed, it is fair to say that the affective component of attitudes is generally the strongest and most important (Abelson, Kinder, Peters, & Fiske, 1981; Stangor, Sullivan, & Ford, 1991).
