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.
Because attitudes can be altered and shaped, it is in the interest of managers to be conscious of ways in which they might affect attitude changes. Through persuasion, attitudes can be altered. Characteristics of the persuader, and the individual being persuaded, and the message itself must be considered.
