Abstract

The article defines the theoretical features of the concept of the attitude phenomenon, the theoretical aspects of attitude formation, and discusses the factors forming the attitude and their connections with behaviour and health behaviour. The theoretical model of formation of attitude towards health behaviour is modelled by analysing the phenomenon of attitude and analysing the factors forming the attitude, using analysis of scientific literature.
