Abstract
<p class="first" id="d2110915e59">This review covers research on attitudes and attitude
change published between 2010
and 2017. We characterize this period as one of significant progress toward an understanding
of how attitudes form and change in three critical contexts. The first context is
the person, as attitudes change in connection to values, general goals, language,
emotions, and human development. The second context is social relationships, which
link attitude change to the communicator of persuasive messages, social media, and
culture. The third context is sociohistorical and highlights the influence of unique
events, including sociopolitical, economic, and climatic occurrences. In conclusion,
many important recent findings reflect the fact that holism, with a focus on situating
attitudes within their personal, social, and historical contexts, has become the zeitgeist
of attitude research during this period.
