The Dictionary of Educational Terms defines attitude as “a learned tendency that impels
an individual to act in a certain way when faced with certain individuals, objects, and situations” (Demirel,
2003). Attitude is known as one’s positive or negative approach towards an object, situation, or event
(Türker and Turanlı, 2008). An individual’s approach towards another individual, object or thing depends
on the value and attention they pay (Türker and Turanlı, 2008). An individual tends to have a negative
approach towards the one he/she deems valueless while he/she tends to have a positive approach towards
the one he/she deems valuable and is attached to (Çetin, 2006)
