in fact every thing written about attitudes but, their is no information (so far to me)that has not been published about the history of emerging of attitude and hoe really came about.

any response please send it to: zaneen1@yahoo.com

The wiki article pegs my bull-crapto-meter. It should win an award for most uninformative psycho-babble.

Reference to 2006 paper in Annual Review of Psychology

I think it would be advised if this article could make use of an article that appeared in the Annual Review of Psychology for 2006 on attitudes. I shall give the full reference when I have found it.

Section on attitude assessment needed

There is no separate section on methods to assess attitudes.This is a major omission.Also, would it be good to have a section on how discourse analysis has challenged conventional beliefs about attitudes?ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Overhaul

Not only is this discussion of attitude incomplete, the references are shoddy, Breckler, S. J., & Wiggins, E. C. (1992)should be 1989, there's a couple of references in the article that aren't listed, and so on. Furthermore, while APA referencing is understandable given the article, I think footnotes are more convenient overall, this is a webpage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Niroztaken (talk • contribs) 19:06, 12 October 2009 (UTC) social psychology is key to behavour —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.27.197.180 (talk) 19:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Couldn't agree more. This entire page needs a complete overhaul. There's an extreme lack of referencing and major theorists/theories aren't mentioned or are only mentioned in passing — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ponsy67 (talk • contribs) 07:50, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to add my request for better referencing, please. The studies cited in the main article do not always appear in the reference list or in the list for further reading (the examples I looked up but could not find are Zimbardo et al 1999, Whitley and Kite 2010. Thanks for attention to this. 6/9/2012. [I'd sign this if I could but I can't get the tilde on my keyboard to work]

Quibble

"The cognitive response is a cognitive evaluation of the entity that constitutes an individual's beliefs about the object." This sentence is difficult to understand and causes a lot of troubles. Please rearrange it and make it simpler and streamlined. ༄༅།།གང་ཐུ་ཡཱ།། (talk) 12:50, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Kinly provide your valuable answers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.192.155.5 (talk) 16:18, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Section on Attitude Structure Needed

It may be useful to include a section on the structural components of attitudes, for example, attitude accessibility and attitudinal ambivalence. Adding a section including these constructs may also provide an opportunity to include information concerning consistency between attitudes and behaviors. Whitmb11 (talk) 01:28, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
