 Attitudes: Where Do They Come From? 

 Some ways that people acquire their attitudes are the following: 

1.    We learn attitudes by looking and listening. Some children learn to like spinach after watching Popeye  eat spinach and hearing about the strength it gives him. 

2. We learn attitudes through reward and punishment. A child may learn not to talk socially after being  told to be quiet in the presence of adults. 

3.    We learn by identifying with Someone else. A person may adopt the beliefs or manner of dress and speech  of a public person they admire. 

4.    We develop attitudes from within ourselves. As a result of the experiences we have in life, we begin to  develop attitudes that reflect those experiences. 

5.    Sometimes we must change our attitudes because they conflict. We seek order in our life as the  information we receive changes.
