Forming and Changing Attitudes

Question 3 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following statements would be best described as an expression of an attitude that is low in accessibility and high in ambivalence?

Answer
A
Frank: “I eat a banana for breakfast everyday. I’ve loved them since I was little.”
B
Judy: “I really dislike bananas. I don’t know why. I just always have.”
C
Ralph: “I’m not sure about bananas. I’d have to think about it.”
D
Fiona: “I am a huge banana fan. I don’t know why. I just like them.”

Explanation

Low accessibility means the attitude is not readily available and may take effort to retrieve; Ralph says he would have to think about bananas. High ambivalence means having mixed or uncertain feelings, which is reflected in his statement that he is “not sure” about them. The other speakers express clear, one-sided likes or dislikes.
