Detailed explanation-1: -Direct Personal Experience: A person’s direct experience with the attitude object determines his attitude towards it. The personal experience of an individual, whether it is favourable or unfavourable, will affect his attitude deeply. These attitudes which are based on personal experience are difficult to change.
Detailed explanation-2: -Attitudes can form through direct experience, social influence, formal education, conditioning processes, and observation.
Detailed explanation-3: -evidence that direct experience with an attitude object produces stronger attitude– evaluation associations than indirect experience, i.e., attitudes that are both better defined and are held with greater certainty or confidence (e.g., Fazio, Powell, & Williams, 1990; Fazio & Zanna, 1978).
Detailed explanation-4: -Two major influences on attitudes are direct experience and social learning.-Research has shown that attitudes that are derived from direct experience are stronger, held more confidently, and more resistant to change than attitudes formed through indirect experience.
