Explain how classical conditioning can affect attitudes and give an example

What will be an ideal response?

People acquire emotional responses to stimuli when they are paired with something that already elicits such a response so attitudes can be conditioned in a similar way. Razran presented political slogans to participants and paired them with a positive stimulus (receiving a free lunch), a negative stimulus (inhaling noxious odors), or in a neutral setting. Afterward, people who received the free lunch liked the slogans more, and those who inhaled the unpleasant odors liked them less.
