CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In psychology, an attitude refers to a set of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors toward a particular object, person, thing, or event. Attitudes are often the result of experience or upbringing. They can have a powerful influence over behavior and affect how people act in various situations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Attitudes are evaluative knowledge represented in memory, but there will be objects for which individuals lack such knowledge and, hence, need to construct overall evaluations on the basis of whatever relevant information they can access from memory or the situation makes available.

Detailed explanation-3: -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).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Attitudes are frequently assessed using self-report measures, but they can also be assessed more indirectly using measures of arousal and facial expressions (Mendes, 2008) as well as implicit measures of cognition, such as the Implicit Association Test (IAT).
