The document discusses social attitudes and their importance in group dynamics. It states that social attitudes are shaped by social values and can be either desires or aversions. Having a social attitude differs from just saying one will be social - it involves actively working to provide positive social experiences. Companies that train their staff to be courteous and considerate, and truly live those values through every customer interaction, tend to provide better service experiences despite potentially spending less on training alone. Social attitudes help determine behaviors and provide social control mechanisms for groups.
