What are Beliefs?
To define beliefs, it’s easiest to break them down into two types:
- Self-beliefs and
- Other beliefs.
Self-beliefs are those things about ourselves; such as that we’re smart or that we’re an introvert. Other beliefs are those things about others; such as that someone is trustworthy or that someone is kind. In both cases, these beliefs act as norms for how we should behave.
What is Attitude? Impact of Beliefs And Values on Attitude
It’s no secret that beliefs and values have an impact on our attitudes, but how do they do it? The reason beliefs and values have such an effect on attitudes may be because attitudes are generally based on other beliefs. We all have certain beliefs about the world around us that shape how we view people, places, and things in our lives, including your company or brand.
Our values and beliefs shape our attitudes in more ways than we may realize. As our beliefs can guide us through life and influence how we look at the world around us. Our values may also affect how we interact with others, which in turn impacts our attitude. There’s a strong correlation between the values we hold and the attitude that follows. It’s very difficult to hold certain beliefs without developing an attitude that aligns with them.
