Customs and attitudes concerning families tend to be resistant
to change.
- These are embodied from the start of childhood.
- These have gone through repetitive procedures of respondent
conditioning, operant/instrumental conditioning, and
social-observational learning.
- There is a certain strong emotion attached to these customs and
attitudes. Strong emotional attachment leads to a strong learning
and tends to remain in mind and behavior.
- Not following them might make family members and others
sad.
