Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow :-

The problem of household garbage is common in most Indian cities. Despite the increasing concern for clean environment we do not know to what extent citizens are aware about how to dispose the garbage at home. Sanyogita, a high school teacher took the lead to organise a team comprising of her colleagues in school and started going door to door in the nearby colonies to educate people on how to separate domestic waste and hand it over to the garbage collection agencies. She also avidly read about methods used by other developed countries and felt distressed when she observed how callous some people were towards keeping a clean environment. The local newspapers appreciated Sanyogita's efforts and applauded her publicily. Sanyogita's students and children joined her mission to segregate garbage and send the bio- degradable waste to the nearby recycle plant.

Identify the process of attitude formation that has been demonstrated in the passage:

Learning attitudes through modelling

The correct answer is Option (3) → Learning attitudes through modelling

In the passage, Sanyogita serves as a role model for her students and children by actively engaging in garbage segregation and promoting a clean environment. The students and children join her mission by observing her behavior and imitating it. This is a classic example of learning attitudes through modelling, where individuals adopt behaviors and attitudes by observing and emulating others.

Other Options:

• Learning attitudes by association: This involves forming attitudes through pairing stimuli, which is not evident in the passage.
• Learning attitudes through group norms: This would involve conforming to a group’s standards or behaviors, which isn’t the primary process here.
• Learning attitudes through exposure to information: Although Sanyogita educates people, the focus of the question is on how the children and students learn through observing her actions rather than just receiving information.
