A relatively stable evaluation of an object/person/location/place etc. 3 components: cognitive (polar bears can eat a person) emotional (they are scary) behavioural (*moves to australia*). Important others share the same attitude: attitude and behaviour are specific, environmental reinforcement matches attitude, attitudes are implicit/unconsciousness, attitude is strong, developed from personal experience. Rules of attraction: psych principle: you either want to be close to something/someone or as far from it as possible. Interpersonal rewards what have you done for me lately: proximity are physically close (or high interaction possibility) vs environmental spoiling, similarity share values, attitudes, beliefs, physical attraction same level of attractiveness (matching hypothesis) Attraction vs arousal: men found women hotter on high bridge (natural reaction to height racing heart, blood rush etc) interpreted as arousal: passionate love: emotional, intense, physical arousal, compassionate love: deep affection, friendship, emotional intimacy.
