From there the authors consider how attitudes are formed and changed. Finally they present a variety of major issues for understanding internal (such as neurological) and external (such as culture) influences on attitude along with unresolved questions. With the aid of a few helpful metaphors the text provides readers with a grasp of the fundamental concepts for understanding attitudes and an appreciation of the scientific challenges that lie ahead.
