Whatever disposition nature elects to give us, our most treasured attitudes are often formed as a result of exposure to attitude objects; our history of rewards and punishments; the attitude that our parents, friends, and enemies express; the social and cultural context in which we live; and other types of experiences we have.
Hoolimata looduse poolt antud kalletest, kujunevad meie kõige hinnalisemad hoiakud kokkupuutest hoiakuobjektiga; premeerimise ja karistuse ajaloost; meie vanemate, sõprade ja vaenlaste hoiakute väljendustest; sotsiaalsest ja kultuurilisest kontekstist, milles me elame ja teistest isiklikest kogemustest.
