Attitude and Social Cognition

This flashcard set is based on the NCERT Class 12 Psychology textbook, Psychology, Chapter 6: Attitude and Social Cognition. The chapter explores how people think about themselves and others in social situations, how attitudes are formed and changed, and how social cognition influences behaviour. Students learn about attitudes, beliefs, values, social behaviour, attitude components, and the psychological processes involved in understanding people and social interactions.
 

The flashcards present important concepts through a simple question-and-answer format that supports quick revision and concept mastery. Learners review topics such as attitude formation, attitude change, cognitive dissonance, balance theory, attitude-behaviour relationship, prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination, social identity, and factors influencing social attitudes. This format helps students strengthen their understanding of key NCERT concepts while preparing for examinations and classroom assessments.
 

By using these flashcards, students develop critical thinking, social awareness, reasoning, analytical thinking, and behavioural analysis skills. They gain a deeper understanding of how attitudes influence behaviour, how prejudices develop, and how positive social relationships can be promoted. These learning outcomes support better comprehension of social psychology, attitude formation and change, prejudice and discrimination, and social cognition concepts in Class 12 Psychology.
