Assertion:Affective component of attitude is also known as conative component. This is false. The affective component refers to emotions or feelings associated with an attitude (e.g., fear, love, anger). The conative component refers to the behavioral or action-oriented aspect (e.g., intentions, actions, tendencies to act in a certain way). So, affective ≠ conative.

 

Reasoning: Affective aspect pertains to the emotional component of an attitude. This is correct.

"The cognitive aspect refers to the thought component, the affective aspect pertains to the emotional component, and the behavioral aspect is referred to as the conative aspect. Together, these three aspects are known as the A-B-C components (Affective-Behavioral-Cognitive components) of attitude."
