In a consumer behavior context (Schiffman and Kanuk, 2007), an attitude is defined as a learned
predisposition to behave in a consistently favorable or unfavorable way with respect to a given object and affective attitude is one of the components in attitude. It is the consumer’s emotions or feelings about a particular product or brand, and these emotions and feelings are frequently treated as primarily evaluative in nature which captures an individual’s direct or global assessment of the attitude object. It is to the extent on which individual rates the attitude objects as “favorable” or “unfavorable”, ‘good” or “bad” while the emotional states may enhance positive or negative experiences. Thus the recollections of such experiences may impact the consumer’s mind and actions.
