The same is true for stars; by observing. the color of stars, we can determine which stars are hot and which stars are cool. If we know the temperature of a star, and how far away it is (see the âMeasuring. Distances Using Parallaxâ lab), we can determine how big a star is.
Attitudes can positively or negatively affect a person's behavior. A person may not always be aware of his or her attitude or the effect it is having on behavior. A person who has positive attitudes towards work and co-workers (such as contentment, friendliness, etc.) can positively influence those around them.
Attitudes are shaped by the interaction of situations, experiences and values. Attitudes are learned, and carried into the work environment. This chapter examines how attitudes are formed and how they affect our perceptions and our actions in relationship to ethics. Development of values is discussed by examining Rokeachâs instrumental and terminal values research.
