Which of the following pairs of a situation and the feature of attitude it shows is correctly matched?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Rohan's strong belief in non-violence influences all his other attitudes about world peace - Centrality
Option (1) Priya rates a new law 1 on a 5-point scale, as far from neutral as the scale allows - Valence — Incorrect. Being as far from neutral as possible shows extremeness. Valence would only tell that her attitude is negative.
Option (2) Sunil's attitude towards health holds many member attitudes about fitness, happiness and mental health - Extremeness — Incorrect. Many member attitudes inside one broad attitude show complexity (multiplexity). Extremeness is about how positive or negative an attitude is.
Option (3) Rohan's strong belief in non-violence influences all his other attitudes about world peace - Centrality — Correct. Centrality is the role of one attitude in the attitude system. Rohan's belief in non-violence is a core attitude that shapes all his other views on world peace.
Option (4) Meena likes the idea of solar power and thinks it is something good - Complexity — Incorrect. Liking an idea and thinking it good shows a positive valence. Complexity is about how many attitudes make up an attitude system.
