Attitude is an internal state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.
The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas—all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.
Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.
Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification（修正）of attitudes.

Attitude  is  an  internal(内在的)  state  that  influences  the  choices  of  personal

action  made  by  the  individual(个人).  Some  researchers  consider  that  attitudes  come

from  differences  between  beliefs  and  ideas;  others  believe  that  attitudes  come  from

emotional  states.  Here,  we  focus  on  the  effects  of  attitudes  upon  behavior,  that  is,

upon the choices of action made by the individual.

The  kinds  of  actions  taken  by  human  beings  are  obviously  influenced  greatly  by

attitudes.  Whether  one  listens  to  classical  music  or  rock,  whether  one  obeys  the  speed

limit  while  driving,  whether  one  encourages  one’s  husband  or  wife  to  express  his  or

school.

Of  course,  the  course  of  action  chosen  by  an  individual  in  any  situation  will  be

largely  determined by the  particulars  of  that  situation. An  individual  who  has  a strong

attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in

no  one  will  notice.  But  the  internal  state  which  remains  unchanged  over  a  period  of

time,  and  which  makes  the  individual  behave  regularly  in  a  variety  of  situations,  is

what is meant by an attitude.

Attitudes  are  learned  in  a  variety  of  ways.  They  can  result  from  single  events,  as

when  an  attitude  toward  snakes  is  acquired  by  an  experience  in  childhood  at  the

sudden  movement  of  a  snake.  They  can  result  from  the  individual’s  experiences  of
