Each of us has a belief system, a set of interlocking and mutually supporting beliefs about, amongst other things, the physical world and the psychology of others.
Such belief systems are seldom unitary , but more likely to consist of paradoxical sets of beliefs that are accessed according to circumstances.
For some the belief system may be grounded in religious or cultural schema of values.
Belief systems generate and maintain attitudes and are in turn affected by feedback loops from experience and behaviour and attitude change.
