“…To develop a valid survey instrument grounded in theory, we constructed the survey using Eagly, Mladinic and Otto's attitude survey template, 21 which is based on Zanna and Rempell's tripartite model of attitudes. 22 The key idea of this model is that people's attitudes are comprised of three distinct types of information: (1) their knowledge and experience, (2) their emotions, and (3) their beliefs.…”

Background: Pharmacists are among the most accessible health care professionals in the community, yet are often not involved in community palliative care teams. Objective: We investigated community pharmacists' attitudes, beliefs, feelings, and knowledge about palliative care as a first step towards determining how best to facilitate the inclusion of community pharmacists on the palliative care team. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive survey design was used. Subjects: Community pharmacists around Australia were invited to participate; 250 completed surveys were returned. Measurements: A survey was constructed to measure pharmacists' knowledge and experience, emotions and beliefs about palliative care. Results: Pharmacists were generally positive about providing services and supports for palliative care patients, yet they also reported negative beliefs and emotions about palliative care. In addition, pharmacists had good knowledge of some aspects of palliative care, but misconceptions about other aspects. Pharmacists' beliefs and knowledge about palliative care predicted-and therefore underpinned-a positive attitude towards palliative care and the provision of services and supports for palliative care patients. Conclusion:The results provide evidence that pharmacists need training and support to facilitate their involvement in providing services and supports for palliative care patients, and highlight areas that training and support initiatives should focus on.

“…In addition, the open-ended measure permitted us to tap those emotions, traits, and values that were most relevant to the participants, rather than forcing them to rate emotions, traits, and values that might not have been relevant to them. Such utilization of participants' idiosyncratic responses is the most important benefit of open-ended measures, which has caused several researchers to recommend their use (e.g., Eagly, Mladinic, & Otto, 1994;Stangor & Lange, 1994). Another advantage of the open-ended procedure is that it can be used to measure and statistically control attitudinal properties other than ambivalence (e.g., evaluative/ cognitive consistency; see Results).…”

“…Emotions, stereotypes, and symbolic beliefs were assessed separately using an open-ended procedure (see also Eagly & Mladinic, 1989;Eagly et al, 1994;Esses et al, 1993;Stangor et al, 1991). To assess emotions, participants were asked to list emotions and feelings that they experienced when they saw, met, or thought about Oriental people.…”

“…The third aspect concerns the fact that the influence of affective, cognitive and behavioral components on overall attitudinal evaluations can vary across both between individuals and attitude objects (e.g., Eagly, Mladinic, & Otto, 1994;Esses et al, 1993;. Some individuals, across a wide range of attitude objects, possess attitudes that are largely consistent with either their affective or cognitive responses.…”

Conceptualizing leadership perceptions as attitudes: Using attitude theory to further understand the leadership process

Leadership is one of the most examined factors in relation to understanding employee wellbeing and performance. While there are disparate approaches to studying leadership, they share a common assumption that perceptions of a leader's behavior determine reactions to the leader.The concept of leadership perception is poorly understood in most theoretical approaches. To address this, we propose that there are many benefits from examining leadership perceptions as an attitude towards the leader. In this review, we show how research examining a number of aspects of attitudes (content, structure and function) can advance understanding of leadership perceptions and how these affect work-related outcomes. Such a perspective provides a more multi-faceted understanding of leadership perceptions than previously envisaged and this can provide a more detailed understanding of how such perceptions affect outcomes. In addition, we examine some of the main theoretical and methodological implications of viewing leadership perceptions as attitudes to the wider leadership area. The cross-fertilization of research from the attitudes literature to understanding leadership perceptions provides new insights into leadership processes and potential avenues for further research.
