The document discusses the concept of attitudes. It defines attitudes as evaluative statements or judgments relating to people, events, or objects. Attitudes have three components - affective (feelings), cognitive (beliefs), and behavioral (intentions). Attitudes can persist over time and influence behavior, though the relationship is complex. Changing attitudes involves resolving cognitive dissonance or generating new thoughts in response to persuasive messages. Work-related attitudes like job satisfaction and organizational commitment also impact behaviors in organizations.
