     Attitude is an internal (内在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual
(个人). Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others
believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior
that is upon the choices of action made by the individual.
     The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one
listens to classical music or rock whether one obeys the speed limit while driving whether one encourages
one's husband or wife to express his or her own ideas－all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states
are acquired (获得) throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home in the streets and in the
school.
     Of course the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the
particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when
he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny
when she thinks no one will notice But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time
and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations is what is meant by an attitude.
     Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents as when an attitude
toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can
result from the individual's experiences of success and pleasure as when someone acquires a positive
attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them And frequently they are
learned by copying other people's behavior as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by
observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences there is something in common in the
learning and modification (修正)of attitudes.
