In general, what is an attitude? Provide an example of an attitude toward some person or thing, and identify the affective, cognitive, and behavioral components of that attitude

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: An attitude is viewed by most social psychologists as an enduring positive or negative evaluation of a person, object, or idea. [Note: Any example will do so long as the example involves an enduring positive or negative evaluation. An affective component must address emotional reactions or feelings such as fear, excitement, pleasure, distrust; a cognitive component must address beliefs about or knowledge we hold about the target of the attitude; a behavioral component must address how an actor behaves in response to the target of the attitude.]
