Attitude and Types of Attitude

TYPES OF ATTITUDES

              “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference”. It is very important to know about different types of attitudes because of their importance in our life. Attitudes are primarily our response to people, places, things, or events in life. It can be referred to as a person's point of view, mindset, beliefs, etc. Our attitude towards people, places, things, or situations determines the choices that we make. Attitude is composed of three components, which include,

Cognitive component

 Basically, the cognitive component is capable of being reduced to empirical factual knowledge.

Emotional component

It is based on the feelings.

Behavioral Component

It replicates and reflects our behavior.

Positive Attitude

The Persons, who will be possessing positive behavior, will explore good things in others and will not go after negativity. This type of attitude is comprised of the following things;

1 The people with positive attitude move forward with confidence and optimism.
2 They remain happy and cheerful.
3 Their dealings with others is comprised of Sincerity.
4 They are blessed with sense of responsibility
5 They remain flexible in their approach.
6 They remain determined in their tasks.
7 They are the most Reliable persons.
8 Tolerance is another hallmark of their personality.
9 On account of their flexibility, they remain Willing to adapt according to the new challenges                   and situations.
10 They are very modest and keep themselves in low profile, even though they are not low profiled.
11 Such persons exercise great degree of diligence.

 Negative Attitude

Such type of persons will always be searching weaker elements of others personality and are not inclined towards positive elements. Their focus remain on bad people and avoids good People.. Also, they are likely to complain about changes, rather than adapting to the changing environment. Also, they might blame their failure on others.

  Such type of persons are always prone to extreme degree of anger and carry the sentiments of hatred for others. Their approach is choked with pessimism and their behaviour is fraught with frustration. They are always doubts about the credibility of others and remain jealous of others achievements. They feel others inferior and hence are suffering a self styled superiority complex.        

Neutral Attitude

Such types of persons are very balanced in their approach. They remain indifferent to problems and wait for others intervention regarding resolutions. Such type of persons remains self satisfied and complacent. Their attitude is composed of indifference and detachment. Another striking element of their attitude is serene and unemotional type of posture which makes them very balanced.

It must be noted that there is a very thin line between personality traits and attitude. While the former are more rigid and permanent, the latter may change with different situations and experiences in life. So, attitudes are learned and acquired. Also, attitude could be explicit or implicit. Attitude at an unconscious level that might be unknown to us, and is formed involuntarily is referred to as implicit attitude. On the other hand, explicit attitude refers to the attitude at a conscious level. Implicit attitude might be attributed to past experiences or influences.

It must be noted that one's behavior might not always reflect one's attitude. However, studies have suggested that people might change their behavior, if the inconsistencies between their beliefs and behavior are pointed out to them. In general, a positive attitude is most likely to have a good effect on one's behavior.

Attitude  For that, one would need to change the way he/she thinks, feels, or behaves. However, changing the way one feels is not that easy. The affective component of attitude is powerful and difficult to control.

Sikken attitude

This is most dangerous attitude because reflects the state of mind’s negativity and possess enough potential to destroy the image of every related thing coming in mind. Sometimes it is assumed somewhat synonymous to negative attitude because it is more destructive than the negative attitude.

The person carrying this type of attitude cannot alter or amend ones opinion because of its penetration at the base level.
