Question 45 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following statements concerning the dimensions of attitudes is not correct?

Answer
A
The easier an attitude is to access, the stronger the attitude usually is.
B
An individual with an ambivalent attitude is often more difficult to persuade.
C
Research indicates that a highly ambivalent attitude is easier to change.
D
Research indicates that strong attitudes are more resistant to change.

Explanation

Ambivalent attitudes contain conflicting positive and negative evaluations, so they are generally less stable and easier to change or persuade. Therefore, the claim that someone with an ambivalent attitude is often more difficult to persuade is not correct. The other statements fit common findings: accessible attitudes tend to be stronger, highly ambivalent attitudes are easier to change, and strong attitudes are more resistant to change.
