Attitude (psychology)

There are other technical meanings of attitude

Attitude is a key concept in social psychology. Attitudes are relatively enduring views on people, behaviour, or events. Unlike personality, attitudes are expected to change as a function of experience, and there are numerous theories of attitude change, including:

Dissonance-reduction theory, associated with Leon Festinger
Self-perception theory, associated with Daryl Bem

The major debate in the theory of attitude change is whether attitude change causes behaviour change or vice versa.
