Question 2 • SHS Alt Psychology S2 - 2021

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows.Brady is a student in a math course. She has a lot of homework, but it seems like she is also learning a lot. When someone asks her whether she likes her math course, she claims to have mixed feelings.Which of the following statements would best describe Brady’s attitude?

Answer
A
Brady has a strong attitude toward her math course.
B
Brady has an unambivalent attitude toward her math course.
C
Brady has a highly ambivalent attitude toward her math course.
D
Brady has an inaccessible attitude toward her math course.

Explanation

Brady sees both a negative side (a lot of homework) and a positive side (learning a lot), and she says she has mixed feelings. An attitude that contains opposing evaluations is ambivalent; because her feelings are explicitly mixed, the best description is that she has a highly ambivalent attitude. An unambivalent attitude would be clearly positive or clearly negative.
