  "id": "MLC-T-ENV-002390",
  "term": "Attitude",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "A learned predisposition manifesting itself in a general state of readiness either to evaluate or to react to-ward an object or class of objects in either a favorable or unfavorable manner in a more or less consistent and characteristic way. Attitudes are relatively stable and are comprised of three components: a cognitive or belief component, an af-fective or feeling component, and a conative or action-disposition component. Although behavior may be a function of attitude at times, attitudes are not necessarily predictors of behavior under all circumstances. Consequently, changes in attitudes do not always result in changes in behavior. (O'Conner 1974)",
