Political attitudes refer to individuals' beliefs, opinions, and emotions towards political issues, policies, and institutions. These attitudes can include support or opposition towards specific political parties, ideologies, leaders, and government actions. Research in this area often examines how individuals form and express their political attitudes, as well as how these attitudes shape their behavior, such as voting, political participation, and engagement with the political process. Scholars may also explore the factors that influence political attitudes, such as socialization, ideology, group identity, and the media. Understanding political attitudes is critical for understanding political behavior and decision-making in democratic societies.
