ATTITUDES – COMPONENT OF THE HUMAN CHARACTER
Abstract
Character represents the reunion of attitudes and the traits implied în the orientation and reference of the individual to himself and society. Attitudes constitute the basic unit of a person’s character and they are psychical structures that combine intellectual, affective and volitive elements. Attitude comes as a result of the subject’s interaction with the world. Attitudes contain two essential segments (Measiscev): the incitative-informative one, implicitly selective-evaluative, respectively the effecter, executive segment and their unity gives unity to the character. When attitudes concur with the laws of progress they become values. Attitudes adjust the specific behaviors of each individual through its evaluative function and value content. There is a duality, a dissociation between the internal plan of attitudes and the external plan of opinions and action, with certain inconsistencies between them. Education in school, especially during Physical Education classes has the role of implementing a set of attitudes to the youth according to his/her specific attitudinal profile, by means of competition and fair play spirit. Therefore it can be influenced and balanced the interaction between the individual and society, which is the base for the understanding between humans.
