Question:

Extremeness of an attitude indicates ________.

Options:

whether an attitude is positive or negative

how positive or negative an attitude is

how many attitudes there are within a broader attitude

the role of an attitude in the attitude system

Correct Answer:

how positive or negative an attitude is

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → how positive or negative an attitude is

The extremeness of an attitude indicates how positive or negative an attitude is. It indicates the intensity of the attitude along the positive-negative continuum.

Other options:

  • "Whether an attitude is positive or negative" refers to the valence of the attitude, not extremeness.

  • "How many attitudes there are within a broader attitude" refers to complexity or multiplexity of attitudes.

  • "The role of an attitude in the attitude system" refers to the centrality of the attitude.
