Reasoning: Centrality is an important component of attitude.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.
Assertion: An attitude with greater centrality in an attitude system would have a stronger influence on other attitudes compared to non-central attitudes. This is true. Centrality denotes the role of a specific attitude within the attitude system, with central attitudes exerting more influence on other attitudes compared to peripheral ones.
Reasoning: Centrality is an important component of attitude. This is false. Centrality is NOT a component of attitude (like cognitive, affective, or behavioral components) but it is a property of attitude.
