The concept of balance in attitude change focuses on the relationships between three components. Which of the following represents these components in the "P-O-X" triangle?

P is the person whose attitude is being studied, O is another person, and X is the topic towards which the attitude is being studied .

The correct answer is Option 3: P is the person whose attitude is being studied, O is another person, and X is the topic towards which the attitude is being studied 

Fritz Heider’s P-O-X model is used in social psychology to understand how people maintain cognitive balance in their relationships and attitudes. It involves three elements:

1. P (Person) – the individual whose attitudes or opinions are being studied.

2. O (Other person) – someone who interacts with or is important to P (e.g., a friend, teacher, celebrity).

3. X (Attitude object) – the thing, idea, person, or topic toward which the attitude is being expressed.
