Theories of Attitude

Attitude theories explain how our feelings, beliefs, and behaviors toward something influence our overall outlook. One key theory is the “Cognitive Dissonance Theory,” which suggests we experience discomfort when our beliefs clash with our actions, prompting us to change either our beliefs or actions to restore harmony. Another important concept is the “Attitude-Behavior Consistency,” which explores how closely our actions align with our attitudes. Overall, these theories help us understand why we think and act the way we do, shaping our perceptions and interactions with the world around us.
