INTRODUCTION
The Concept of Attitude and Attitude Studies in Education
Basically, attitudes are mental predispositions or tendencies to respond
positively or negatively toward a certain thing, such as persons, events, or
attitude objects (McMillan, 2000). Common to most of the various definitions
of attitudes is that attitudes reflect evaluations of objects on a dimension
ranging from positive to negative (Fabrigar, McDonald, & Wegener, 2005).
