In this
chapter I learned about attitudes, and they are beliefs and feelings about
objects, people, and events that can affect how people behave in certain
situations. There is a process known as cognitive evaluation, which also plays a role in the development of
attitudes and refers to evaluate evidence and form beliefs on the basic
of their evaluations. Also there is something called Prejudice is a generalized
attitude toward a specific group of people, and it literally means prejudgment.
People who are prejudiced judge people on the basis of their group members
rather than as individuals. Later I learned about a scapegoat; which is an
individual or group that is blamed for problems of others.
The term
scapegoating refers to aggression toward people which are identified as
the target. Attraction is a kind of attitude, an attitude of liking. Attraction
to another person often leads to friendship or live. Physical appearance
tends to influence our choice of friends and patterns. According to the
matching hypothesis, people tend to choose as friends and partners those who
are similar to themselves in attractiveness. Friends are people for whom
one has affection, respect, and trust. Most people value friends because of the
reward that friendship offers.
This was a
very interesting chapter, since I got the opportunity to learn about all this
different types of attitudes; and how they affect on your behavior, etc. and to
find a way to have a solution and explanation for this.
