Question

Arrange the following statements in the order of cognitive, behavioural and affective components of attitude:
A. Your view towards a 'green environment' movement is positive.
B. You feel sad and angry when you see trees being cut down.
C. You actively participate in the tree plantation campaign.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-C-B
• B. B-C-A
• C. C-B-A
• D. B-A-C

Hint:

Cognitive = view or belief, behavioural = action, affective = feeling.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
Three statements describe one attitude toward the environment. We need to sort them as thinking, doing and feeling, in the order cognitive, behavioural, affective.

Step 2: Ask a simple question for each statement.
Is it a thought, an action or a feeling? Use this to sort them.

Step 3: Sort the statements.
A talks about a view, so it is a thought, which is cognitive. C talks about taking part, so it is an action, which is behavioural. B talks about sadness and anger, so it is a feeling, which is affective.

Step 4: Write the sequence.
Cognitive first gives A. Behavioural second gives C. Affective third gives B. The sequence is A-C-B.

Step 5: Compare with the choices.
B-C-A starts with a feeling, C-B-A starts with an action, and B-A-C starts with a feeling. None of these starts with the cognitive item A, so they are wrong.

Step 6: Select the match.
Option (1) is the only one that matches A-C-B.

Final Answer:
The correct sequence is A-C-B, option (1).
