Some attitudes are more important than others because they are more useful for us and does have more impact on our daily lives. The importance of an attitude as assessed by how quickly it comes to mind is known as our attitudes. Friends, some of our attitudes are strong attitudes in the sense that we find them important. Hold them with confidence, do not change them very much and use them frequently to guide our actions. These strong attitudes mean guide our actions completely out of our awareness. other teachers are weaker and have a little influence on our actions.
Strong articles are more cognitively accessible, and they come to mind quickly or regularly and easily. We can easily measure articles and by assessing how quickly our attitudes are activated when are exposed to the attitude object. If we can state our attitude quickly without much thought then it is a strong one and it We are unsure about our attitude in need to think about it for a while before staining our opinion, this attitude is weak. It just becomes stronger when we have direct positive or negative experiences with the attitude object in particularly, if those experiences have been strong positive or negative context, because our attitude strength is determined by cognitive accessibility, it is possible to make our attitudes stronger by increasing the accessibility of the attitude. And this can be done directly by having people think about express or discuss their attitudes with others. So other people think about your attitudes to about them or just say them out loud.
The attitudes they have expressed become stronger because our egos are linked to the self concept. They also become stronger when they are activated along with the self concept. When we're looking into a mirror or sitting in front of a TV camera. I want you to are activated and we are then more likely to act on them. auditors are also stronger when the ABCs of affect behavior and cognition all align. As an example, many people's auditors forwarded their own nation is universally positive.
They have strong positive feelings about their country, many positive thoughts about it, and then to engage in behaviors that sported other attitudes are less strong because the affective cognitive and behavioral components are each somewhat different. For example, your cognition toward physical exercise may be positive, you believe that a regular physical activity is good for your health. But on the other hand, you your effect may be negative, because you may resist exercising because you prefer to engage in tasks that provide more immediate rewards. Consequently, you may not exercise as often as you believe you ought to and these inconsistencies among the components of your attitude, make it less strong than it would be if all the components lined up together.
