Attitudes and their
Formation
Having understood the values, let us try to understand the attitudes and their formation. You should recognize that attitudes are evaluative statements- favorable or unfavorable- concern¬ing objects, people, or events. They indicate how one feels about something. When you say “I like my job,” or “I hate telling lies” they represent your attitudes.
Attitudes are different from
values. Values could be a little broader in concept while attitudes are more
specific. Values indicate the rightness or desirability of something. For
example, a statement like “gender discrimi¬nation is bad” reflects the
values one stands for. On the other hand,
a statement “I prefer women to be given
an equal place with men in
recruitment” represents the attitude of a person. Attitudes are learned predispositions towards various aspects
of our environment.
While, attitudes and values are different, there are also some similarities. Both are powerful instruments influencing cognitive process
