Assertion: Attitudes can also be acquired through the influence of group or cultural norms.

Reasoning: Cultural norms represent written and unwritten rules that dictate how individuals are expected to behave in specific circumstances.

Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct.

Attitudes can also be acquired through the influence of group or cultural norms. These norms represent unwritten rules that dictate how individuals are expected to behave in specific circumstances. Over time, these norms may become internalized as part of our social cognition, shaping our attitudes. Learning attitudes through group or cultural norms can encompass all three forms of learning mentioned earlier: association, reward or punishment, and modelling. 

For example, within a close-knit community, it may be a cultural norm to prioritize family values and maintain strong bonds. When individuals observe the emphasis placed on family unity, witness the rewards and positive reinforcement given to those who uphold these values, and see the positive relationships formed within the community as a result, they may develop a positive attitude towards family and prioritize familial connections in their own lives.
