Attitude is a predisposition or a tendency to respond positively or negatively towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation. Attitude influences an individual's choice of action, and responses to challenges, incentives, and rewards (together called stimuli or impulse).
Ones’ attitude defines who he or she is, attitude is you in your loose state, the natural you. It is common to see people behave in certain way different from who they really are because of conscious check they put themselves to; that’s not you but the controlled you – a fake version, improved you or make believe version of you.
With consistent checks on oneself, one can improve on or change his/her attitude entirely for the best; so training is the refinery/furnace for attitude. A changed attitude is a changed life. We are born blank but have more affinity to negatives which corrupts and contaminate our attitude; which if not checked early as they show up in our behavioral profile develops to become our identity. This explains why early development in any child is so vital to whom the child grows up to become; the environment and the influence around the child is a big factor for consideration. Sometimes it may take an entire life time to unlearn the wrong things we grow up with as kids, at some loose moment you see them manifest.
Four major components of attitude are
(1) Affective: emotions or feelings.
(2) Cognitive: belief or opinions held consciously.
(3) Conative: inclination for action.
(4) Evaluative: positive or negative response to stimuli.
