Read the passage and answer the following question: Manya, a class 7 student, stopped consuming artificially flavoured soft drinks and started to consume more and more fresh fruits and home cooked food. This change in her behaviour came when she came to know that supermodel Kirti has stated in an interview that she would neither consume artificially flavoured food nor endorse any such products. She even appealed to all of her fans to do so. Earlier Manya used to consume all unhealthy products because Kirti endorsed many such products. But now Kirti's change in choice has also led Manya to change her preferences. |
Attitudes are easy to change if: |
They are firmly established They are still in formative stage They are central to one's attitude system They are negative |
They are still in formative stage |
The correct answer is Option (2) → They are still in formative stage During the process of attitude formation, and also after this process, attitudes may be changed and modified through various influences. Some attitudes change more than others do. Attitudes that are still in the formative stage, and are more like opinions, are much more likely to change compared to attitudes that have become firmly established, and have become a part of the individual’s values. |
