the COGNITIVE APPROACH

Ive learned from the cognitive approach is about social cognition,attitude,fundamental attribution error,cognitive appraisal theory and cognitive dissonance.

               the social cognition is the way people perceive  and react to social situation.for example "you saw someone who is in need" there are two possible reactions you will do,its either you will help or just ignore it.
               
                the ATTITUDE is a personal belief that which influences our reaction towards people or things.for example we have a negative and positive attitudes is a mental position that regards to a fact or  state.

                the fundamental attribution error is the important of  internal factors in interpreting the causes of people's behavior.for example misunderstanding or understanding a situational event or giving much definition on how people acts.

                 the cognitive appraisal theory is that our emotional state is based on our assignment of the situation.for example if a stranger approach you on a deserted street and you decide that you should feel afraid.

                 the cognitive dissonance is an individuals behavior and belief .for example in ride the courtroom they are two sides  each one of them has a lawyer their lawyer were arguing of fighting their clients right. there fighting for  their beliefs.
