someone or something, typically reflecting in
a person’s behavior
ATTITUDE BEHAVIOR

- Attitude manifests itself in behavior as a

representative of personality
Implicit and Explicit

Implicit (implied) – thoughts or feelings that

conscious awareness does not cover
Example: A version of an Implicit Attitudes Test
(IAT) has participants make the split-second
decision whether to “shoot” intruders in a video
game based on whether or not they are holding a
gun; many people exhibit an implicit bias toward
blacks, manifested as faster and more frequent
decisions to “shoot” when the intruder pictured is
a black man.
Explicit (open, clear) – can be perceived
consciously and expressed accordingly
 A person’s conscious views toward people,
objects, or concepts. That is, the person is aware
of the feelings he or she holds in a certain
context.
 Example: His grandfather is unapologetically
racist; the man makes no attempt to hide his
negative views toward members of various ethnic
minorities.
Attitudes and Its Components: Affect,
Behavior, Cognition

1. Affect – feel, emotion

Example: I am scared of spiders

2. Behavioral - act, behave towards object or
subject
Example: I will avoid spiders

3. Cognitive: beliefs, knowledge

Example: I believe spiders are dangerous
Analyze (component of ABC)

1. I love basketball because I get to know how

to focus and I believe it helps me to be
healthy. I will go to the gym once a week.
2. I am frightful of snakes and believe they are
poisonous so I will be in my room.
Self-concept and Self-Esteem

Self-concept is our cognition to ourselves.

What we think, know about our identity,
personality, individuality
It requires a lot of self-evaluation and
reflection

 Religion is my guide in everyday life
 My vocation is leading me to serve God
 I am from a happy family
Rene Descartes
Self-Esteem

but rather our attitude towards ourselves
It is a more situational approach, how we
value ourselves

personality. If you know how it is created,

evaluation.
