COMPONENTS OF ATTITUDES:
• Affect
Ø in psychology, is the term used to represent
emotions directed to the self, the environment,
and to others.
• Cognition

thoughts in different levels, ranging from
ourselves to our environment, from imaginary to
perceivable reality.
• Behavior

• Social factors
Ø Social roles and social norms can have a strong
influence on attitudes.
Social roles relate to how people are expected to

behave in a particular role or context.
Social norms involve society's rules for what

behaviors are considered appropriate.
ATTITUDE FORMATION:
• Learning
Ø Attitudes can be learned in a variety of ways.
Classical Conditioning
Ø Attitudes can be formed from the associations that
we learn after two different events (or stimuli) are
paired together again and again, over time.
ATTITUDE FORMATION:
• Operant Conditioning
Ø attitudes are sometimes formed through the
consequences (positive or negative) that we
receive as a result of showing that attitude.
ATTITUDE FORMATION:
• Modelling
Ø people also learn attitudes by observing
people around them, when someone
particularly close to us, a person we admire, or a
parent does something, it is more likely we
would doing the same thing they are doing.
SELF-CONCEPT AND SELF-
ESTEEM
• Self-concept
Ø is our cognition to ourselves, what we think
and know about our identity, personality,
and individuality. It requires a lot of self-
evaluation and reflection to be able to say that
your self-concept is high.
“I think, therefore I am” • IDEAL SELF

- Rene Descartes • ACTUAL SELF
SELF-CONCEPT AND SELF-
ESTEEM
• Self-esteem
Ø is related to self-concept but it is different. It does
not focus on how we know ourselves but
rather our attitude towards ourselves.
Ø Self- concept is purely or mostly informational while
self- esteem is emotionally inclined. In general,
self- esteem is how you feel for yourself while self-
concept is what you think of yourself.
“He who knows others is wise, he who knows himself is

enlightened”
- Lao Tzu
