This kind of attitude includes three aspects (cognitive, emotional and behavioural). The research focuses on the development of the emotional aspect of the valuebased attitude towards other people.

The examples of exercises with verbal triggers of tenderness and admiration for extra-curricular classes, or course on emotional intelligence, or as part of academic lessons, are also designed by the author.Conclusion. The research results can be used in the process of organising complex work on the formation of the emotional component of the value attitude towards people, as well as for further theoretical research on the issues of emotional learning and moral education in general.
