Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Attitude represents the tendency of an individual to respond or react positively or negatively towards a situation, object, a person, or idea. The tendency to behave differently according to the situation developed through experiences as the person lives and works with others. Attitudes are not incorporated with birth, but they are learned through lifelong experiences, contact with others, and direct instructions from parents, teachers and another person. Attitude mainly consists of three important components: affective component, behavior component, and a cognitive component.
