Assertion: Attitudes are the behaviors of a person in a particular situation.
Reasoning: Attitudes are part of cognition, along with an emotional component, and cannot be observed from outside.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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. It is important to note that attitudes themselves are not behaviors but represent inclinations or predispositions to behave in certain ways. They are internal cognitive processes with an emotional element and cannot be observed externally.
