Propositional attitude

Propositional attitudes are ways that people think and feel about something. For example, if you like ice cream, then you have a positive attitude (or feeling) towards it. If you are scared of dogs, then you have a negative attitude (or feeling) towards them. People have different attitudes towards all sorts of things. Attitudes can help people make decisions and act in certain ways.
