ATTITUDES AND VALUES IN HUMAN RELATIONS

Two significant elements that influence the cognitive process and behavior of humans are values
and attitudes. They are essentially learned and gained from the same sources. They are strong and
resistant to change.
An attitude is a structure that reflects values and factors that predispose a person to act or react in a
particular manner in response to something. In any relationship between a person and an item, attitudes
are present. Attitudes are evaluative remarks about items, people, or events that are either positive or
negative. They express one's feelings regarding something. Having a good attitude is vital for experiencing
actual joy and happiness, as well as achieving your life goals.
Our values are the things that we hold dear in our daily lives and work. Our values play a role in
shaping our personalities. They set our priorities, and they're probably the indicators we use to determine
whether or not our lives are turning out the way we want them to. Our values are the things that matter
most to us. Values are significant because they shape our attitudes, beliefs, and actions. We aren't always
aware of our values, but knowing what they are might help us make better decisions.
Although attitudes and values are not the same thing, they are interrelated. Values are the
foundations of one's beliefs and serve as a guide. As a result, one's attitudes are formed depending on
one's moral principles. Both have an impact on a person's cognitive function, and both are vulnerable to
change as a result of diverse social interactions and social experiences.
Our human relations abilities, like the soil in a garden, require nutrient-rich soils. To improve our
interpersonal skills, we must examine our underlying personality traits, attitudes, and values, which may be
aiding or limiting our capacity to relate to others.
