Question : in reference to the three componts of attiude , analyze. your own personal experience es that will describle the different components . analyze one postive experience example and one negative experience .
Solution : Attitude is type of a expression, which reflects our inner thoughts and inner strength, which gives the base to our behaviour and reactios to the varieties of situations that come in our way.
The three components of attitude are :
1.Cognitive component : This component is based on the knowledge and personal beliefs of the individuals. eg. believing in honesty, I believe cockroaches are very scary , eating oily foods is cancerous, etc. My positive experience - I believe in the principle of simplicity is the best, this stops me from indulging in excessive shopping habits, waste of money on non essential products. My negative experience - I believe that for trivial issues such as cold and cough we should not seek for professional medical help, instead try home remedies; but my cold and cough never gets OK without medical advice.
2. Affective component : Affective component is the feeling that we develop towards the object for which we carry some belief. My positive experience, I believe smoking is cancerous and therefore I never touch cigarettes ; I believe trading and slaughtering of cows is cruelty so I started donating money to save cows. My negative experience - I believe drugs can provide me some satisfaction and happiness and great relief from all my worries and I keep consuming it everyday
3. Behavioral component : Behavioral copmponent is concerned with our reactions to situations which are based on the belief and psychology we carry with ourselves. My positive experience - I dont like people making public places dirty, so whenever I see somebody doing that I scold that person and many a times , I myself pick up the wastes thrown here and there and put it in dustbin. My negative experience - I belief cocockroaches are very scary, the moment I see them I start screaming and fear so much that I leave that place immediately even if I am standing in a Board Meeting. This really spoils my image of professionalism in the office but can't help it . cockroaches really scare me like hell!
