Answer to Question 1

Answer: Attitudes are evaluative statements  either favorable or unfavorable  concerning objects, people, or events. They reflect how an individual feels about something. When a person says, I like my job, he or she is expressing an attitude about work. The three components that make up attitudes are cognition, affect, and behavior. The cognitive component of an attitude is made up of the beliefs, opinions, knowledge, or information held by a person. The belief that discrimination is wrong illustrates cognition. The affective component of an attitude is the emotional or feeling part of an attitude. This component would be reflected by the statement, I don't like Jon because he discriminates against minorities. Finally, affect can lead to behavioral outcomes. The behavioral component of an attitude refers to an intention to behave in a certain way toward someone or something. For instance, I might choose to avoid Jon because of my feelings about him is an example of the behavioral component of an attitude.
