    • An attitude is an expression of favor or disfavor toward a person, place, thing, or event (the attitude object). Prominent psychologist Gordon Allport once described attitudes "the most distinctive and indispensable

      concept in contemporary social psychology.". [1] Attitude can be formed from a person's past and present. [2] Attitude is also measurable and changeable as well as influencing the person's emotion and behavior.

      In lay language, attitude may refer to the distinct concept of mood, or be especially synonymous with teenage rebellion.
