The ABC model of attitude assumes that a consumer's attitude (evaluation) of an attitude object (A◦) will depend on the beliefs he or she has about several or many attributes of the object.

-Affect refers to the way a consumer feels about an attitude object

-Behavior involves the person's intention to do something with regard to an attitude object

-Cognition refers to the beliefs a consumer has about an attitude object.

The use of multiattribute model implies that identifying these specific beliefs and combing them to derive a measure a measure of the consumer's overall attitude can predict an attitude toward a product or brand.

2.Beliefs are recognition about the specific (A◦) (usually relative to others like it). A belief measure assesses the extent to which the consumer perceives that a brand possesses a particular attribute. For example, a consumer m might have a belief that Moss Burger has a better quality of food.

3. Importance weights reflect the relative priority of an attribute to the consumer. Although an (A◦) can be considered can be considered on a number of attributes, some are likely to be more important than others (i.e., they will be given greater weight).
