This worksheet aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of social attitudes by defining their structural components and analyzing their psychological functions based on Daniel Katz’s functional theory. Students learn to identify how attitudes help individuals navigate social environments, express identity, and maintain self-esteem.

Content and methods:

The worksheet employs a multi-step pedagogical approach, starting with a realistic class chat scenario to prompt initial reflection. It then uses structured multiple-choice tasks to clarify the cognitive, affective, and conative components of attitudes. Finally, the material introduces Katz’s four functions (adaptive, value-expressive, knowledge, and ego-defensive) through a social media-style infographic, requiring students to apply these concepts by categorizing the classmates' statements and reflecting on their own perspectives.

Competencies:

• Definition and differentiation of the structural components of attitudes (ABC-model)
• Analytical application of Katz’s functional theory to real-life scenarios
• Self-reflection and perspective-taking within social contexts
• Critical evaluation of the changeability of attitudes based on their underlying functions
