Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Attitude objects refer to the things or concepts that individuals have attitudes towards, and for Lydia, butterflies are the attitude object she has positive feelings towards. Option A (informational beliefs) refers to beliefs about a topic, and there is no indication Lydia has any specific beliefs about butterflies beyond liking them. Option B (evaluative beliefs) refers to beliefs about whether something is good or bad, and while Lydia may believe that butterflies are good things, her liking them overall is more of a general positive attitude. Option D (uni-valenced decisions) refers to decisions that only have one level of evaluation (e.g., always good), which does not fit with Lydia's more complex and individualized attitude towards butterflies.
