Attitudes

25.9K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info.

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory01:20

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

3.0K
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Decision Making: P-value Method

5.8K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Reproductive Health Decision-Making

Background:

  • Existing research indicates abortion attitudes are often viewed as fixed positions.
  • The influence of specific contextual factors on these attitudes remains incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how relationship status, reasons for abortion (health vs. life circumstance), and male partner's wishes affect abortion attitudes.
  • To assess the responsiveness of abortion attitudes to contextual details.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a multiple-segment factorial vignette design.
  • Utilized a probability sample of 532 households in Kentucky.

Main Results:

  • Respondents initially expressed strong, context-free opinions on abortion.
  • Many participants altered their stances when presented with contextual information.
  • Attitudes were found to be both strongly held and highly context-dependent.

Conclusions:

  • The study questions the validity of measuring global abortion attitudes without considering specific life contexts.
  • Abortion decision-making is influenced by the full context of an individual's situation.
  • Attitudes toward abortion reflect and respond to these contextual factors.
