Tripartitie model of attitudes
Attitudes have 4 main roles:- to help us avoid or achieve goals- help us explain or predict our environment- help form our self-identity- protect us from harm
Attitudes function to reduce cognitive dissonance and make us a more congruent person as they act as a motivator for change.

Function of attitudes
Simply being familiar with something encorouges preferences simply due to mere exposure, this is shown frequenty in consumer studies
Familiarity
They can also be created or be reinforced through operant conditioning, if an attitude is positively reinforced by your social group for example you are less likely to change it, but a new attitude may be formed based on change due to negative reinforcement
Operant conditioning
Attitudes can be formed through association whether positive or negative, Olsen and Fazzio, 2001, showed this.
Classical conditioning
Attitude formation
Changing attitudes
According to the elaboration likelihood model there are two pathways through which people can change their attitudes. The more simple of the two is called the peripheral route, taking this is a mental short cut as it only relies on superficial cues
The central route however requires more elaboration as it involves scrutiny and evaluation. Which pathway is taken and whether a change can occur at all is dependant on several factors. Target factors are personal relevance, need for cognition, distraction, prior knowledge and the individuals personality. Whereas message factors are strength, uni vs bilateral, length and a need for closure
