Category: Concept/Definitional
2) The emotional or feeling component of a person's attitude is called ________.
A) complex understanding
B) the cognitive component
C) the affective component
D) a complex attitude
E) the behavior component
Answer: C
Explanation: C) Affect is the emotional or feeling segment of an attitude and is called the affective component.

attitude are not components of attitude as defined in OB.
3) Janice is spending the summer working as an intern writing copy for a local firm. Today Janice's senior editor sent
back some of Janice's work covered in red ink corrections. Up until now, all of Janice's work had been corrected in
green or blue ink. Janice is upset and worried that her senior editor doesn't like her.
Which component of an attitude is not represented in the previous scenario?
A) the positive component
B) the cognitive component
C) the affective component
D) the negative component
E) the behavioral component
Answer: E
Explanation: E) In the example, Janice does not take action. Therefore, she does not demonstrate the behavioral
component of an attitude. Janice believes that her senior editor doesn't like her. This judgement, or evaluation,
demonstrates the cognitive component of an attitude. Janice is upset. She has had an emotional reaction to the red
ink on her work, which represents the affective component of an attitude. Although an attitude can be positive or
negative, these are not considered components of an attitude as defined in OB.
4) The belief that "violence is wrong" is an evaluative statement. Such an opinion constitutes the ________
component of an attitude.
A) cognitive
B) affective
C) reflective
D) behavioral
E) reactive
Answer: A
Explanation: A) The cognitive component of an attitude is a description of, or belief in the way things are, which is
exemplified in the statement "violence is wrong". The affective component of an attitude reveals the emotional
reaction, and the behavioral component is how someone behaves toward someone or something. There are no
components of attitude called reflective or reactive in OB.
, 5) Jan is a security officer. Jan believes that it is important to know exactly who is in the office at any given time.
She notices that some employees do not sign out of the office when they take lunch, which makes it impossible to
keep track of who is actually in the office. Jan becomes frustrated with those employees. She makes note of them
and reports them to their supervisors. In the above scenario, what is the behavioral component of Jan's attitude to the
employees who did not sign out of the office?
A) Jan believes that it is important that she know exactly who is in the office at any given time.
B) Jan does not like that some employees do not sign out of the office when they take lunch.
C) Jan finds it impossible to keep track of who is actually in the office.
D) Jan becomes frustrated with those employees who do not sign out of the office.
E) Jan notes which employees leave the office without signing out, and reports them to their supervisors.
Answer: E
Explanation: E) The behavioral component of an attitude is how someone behaves toward someone or something.
Jan's behavior was to note the employees and report them to supervisors. The affective component of an attitude
reveals the emotional reaction. Jan's belief that it is important and her frustration are affective components. The
cognitive component of an attitude is a description of, or belief in the way things are. Her belief that it's impossible
to keep the building secure without knowing who signs out is a cognitive attitude.

OB.

A) variable state with variable dissonance
B) stable state with maximal dissonance
C) unstable state with maximal dissonance
D) unstable state with minimal dissonance
E) stable state with minimal dissonance

attempt to reduce it. They will seek a stable state, which is a minimum of dissonance. People do not seek variable or
unstable states because they would be uncomfortable.

A) reactance
