1. An emotional component consisting of emotional

reactions toward, or feelings about the attitude object.

2. A cognitive component consisting of thoughts and

beliefs about the attitude object.

3. A behavioural component consisting of actions

toward the attitude object.

the attitude object.

Cognitive = beliefs about

the attitude object. Any given attitude maybe based in lesser orgreater amounts on any

of these components

Where do attitudes come from?

Some attitudes seem to reflect stable,internal dispositions of the individual i.e., ways of seeing the world

Broad attitudinal dispositions mighthave a shared genetic basis

This is most likely for gut-preferences: For example, feelings of disgust at certain smells or foods


14/128ShimranzSkills

A positive attitude allows a

person to create the life

they want because they are

not afraid to see things as

they really are and work to

create their own reality.

Explicit V. Implicit Attitudes

Once we have developed an attitude(an orientation to some object), thisattitude can exist in a number of states:

1. Explicit attitudes: The evaluations we consciously express.

2. Implicit attitudes: Involuntary responses to the attitude object.

Attitude functionAttitudes will fluctuate in order to serve our

current needs.Four major functions

1. Utilitarian function

- Helps person to achieve rewards and gainapproval from others

2. Knowledge function

- Attitudes can be used as a frame of

reference for organizing the world so that itmakes sense

-For example, we perceive knowledge that contradicts ourviews with suspicion, thus forming a negative impression of

that source of information (Giner-Sorolla & Chaiken, 1997).


21/128

Attitude function

3. Ego-defensive function- Helps to cope with emotional conflicts andprotect and enhance ones self-esteem.

-E.g., ones job not going well, can blame colleagues or his boss, thisnegative orientation towards the people he or she blames protects onefrom acknowledging painful truths.

4. Value-expressive function

- Help to express central values and core

aspects of self-concept.

- For example, if you are a person who firmly believes in fairtreatment and equality towards others, youll most likely have apositive attitude towards particular political parties and a negativeattitude towards others.

BehaviorA persons behavior

is the way they act in general,especially

in relation to the situation they are in

or the people they are with.


30/128

Attitudes + behaviour

Part of the interest in attitudes is due to theassumption that people act in accordance withtheir attitudes:

Companies spend ridiculous amounts of money onadvertising campaigns designed to changepeoples attitudes toward their products.

Political parties closely monitor opinion polls to try

and gauge the mood of the community and thelikely outcome of elections.

Do attitudes really predict behaviour?


31/128

Attitudes + behaviour

Later research confirmed the gap: E.g., Wicker (1969) reviewed research on the attitude-behaviour link

Although the two were usually positively related, the relationship was

typically small (averager

= .15).

Evidence for weak relationshipsbetween attitudes and behaviour

prompted 2 responses:1. Attitudes are a load of rubbish!

2. Attitudes are related to behaviour, but the relationship is more complex


32/128

Attitudes + behaviour: The full

story

1. Not all attitudes should be relatedto behaviour: Specific attitudes should predict behaviour better then general

attitudes

Strong (accessible) attitudes should predict behaviour better

than weak attitudes.

2. Other variables are involved in theattitude-behaviour relationship

Attitudes + Behaviour: The full

story Research using more complete models have

provided a better account of the attitudebehaviour relationship:

Attitudes arerelated to behaviours but notdirectly.

Attitudes affect behaviour - in combination withnorms, control beliefs, and intentions.

In addition to being a theoretical improvement,this approach has also proven to be very practical.

LEARN TO BE ANGRY


70/128

Know what to be angry about.

One cannot be neutral between

the right and the wrong. One soneutral is on the side of injustice.

Evil multiplies when good peopledont champion what is right.

Not to be angry at injustice is to

be dishonest.

A mere bend in the road is not the end of it. Have belief in yourself. Never sell yourself

short.

There is always some good in every

situation. Look out. Sharpen your awareness to the

opportunities that lie around.

You will never know what can be doneuntil you try it.

The secret to success is never to give up.


80/128

Failures are but stepping stones to success. There are no mistakes in life, only lessons.

Every failure is a lesson in learning.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.

Failing is not bad. Staying down is.

No failure is final.---------------------------------------Failure is a noun. The only fear it holds forus is in the meaning we give it. Define failureas giving up. Take control of it.

Belief & Behavior Accept your limitations. But be aware of your qualities & strengths.

Change your beliefs, and you change your behaviour.

Change your behaviour, and you change your results,

and your life itself.

Self-limiting beliefs are learnt behaviours. Anythingthat is learnt can be unlearnt as well.

List all negative beliefs. Replace them with the

positive.

Begin. Take the first step which is the most difficult.

Anything worth doing is worth failing at, until you getit right.

Overcome your anxiety.

y y

Failure is not a crime. All humans are fallible. It is not terrible to be not perfect. Negative stress comes from what you tell

yourself, like I must always succeed. Ive to meet everyones expectations of me. Im no good unless I do everything right.

Develop strategies to cope with stress &performance anxiety. Learn to like yourself. Make a list of positive things about yourself. Feel good about who you are & how you feel.

without the baby. It wont work, said the man, looking disappointed.

Why?

Well, you see Im the babys uncle, not his father.

Mind half-used


97/128

Look at pbms as challenges. Successoften presents itself as an alluringchallenge.

Most problems are produced, or leftunsolved, by half-used minds.

Face pbms with keenness & from anew direction, each time.

Dont jump to the obvious solution.(This is the tallest peak! syndrome)

Challenge what is accepted. Youwill find a whole new world of

possibilities uncovered.

Every problem has a lifespan..


98/128

Know the stage at which it is .

Compartmentalize. Prioritise. Recognize the minor hassles from the major

ones. Know what to worry about & what totake coolly.

Take one step at a time. Deal with them insmall bits.

No knee-jerk reactions. No short-term

patches. The real obstacles are not the pbms

themselves, but the wrong approaches tofinding the solutions.

Think solution, not problem.


99/128

See a solution, where others see a pbm.There is a solution to every problem.

Try to solve, not prolong.

Ascertain the facts.

Have an uncluttered mind. Cut out theextraneous. Identify the core.

Face the issue head on. Take it on withoutbreaking step.

While with major pbm, stay detached. Intractable? Sleep over it . Let it work its

way out.

Cursing a flat tyre does not fix it.


100/128

If you cant go over the hill, go aroundit. Digging a tunnel is a clear option, ifgoing to the other side is all that

necessary.

The solution often lies in identifying thesolvers.

Take help where needed.If something

seems far too big, maybe its becauseyoure meant to share the load withsomeone else.

Look for solutions where you will find

them. (Mullah story)

Gangrene cannot be cured with palliatives.

Relish the journey!

There is more to life than running

non-stop. Happiness is all along, not

merely at the destination. Thejoys along the route are perhapsmore delightful..

If you are enjoying the journey,you are not upset by a delayed

arrival. Count your blessings. One rarely

appreciates ones blessings asmuch as when they are gone.

We dont laugh because we are happy.We are happy because we laugh
