Propositional attitudeA propositional attitude is a relational mental state connecting a person to a proposition. They are often assumed to be the simplest components of thought and can express meanings or content that can be true or false. In being a type of attitude they imply a person can have different mental postures towards a proposition, for example, believing, desiring or hoping and therefore imply intentionality. Linguistically, they are denoted by an embedded "that" clause, for example, 'Sally believed that she had won'.See also\n* attitude (psychology)\n* belief\n* intentionality\n* mental state Category:Psychology |
