What to Focus On
- Social psychology studies the effect of others and the social environment on behaviour.
- Social behaviour includes behaviour in actual, imagined, or implied presence of others.
- Attitudes are important because they guide thinking, feeling, and action.
- Cognitive, affective, and behavioural components together make up attitude.
- Attitudes are tendencies to act, not the same as behaviour.
- Beliefs are different from attitudes; values are different too.
- Attitudes are learned through interaction and experience.
- Genetic factors influence attitudes only indirectly.
- Learning happens through association, reward and punishment, modelling, norms, and information.
