The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was designed to measure automatically activated attitudinal associations, free of the influence of processes that affect their expression. Subsequent research has shown that IAT performance also is influenced by non-associative processes, but the extent to which these non-associative processes are content-specific or if they operate similarly regardless of th...

A number of attitudinal expressions are identified and analyzed using dependency based syntactic analysis. A claim is made that attitudinal loading of lexical items is dynamic rather than lexical and that attitudinal loading of individual lexical items is acquired through their use in attitudinally loaded structures.

The purpose of this paper was to demonstrate empirically that attitudinal loyalty and satisfaction are divergent concepts. The results of this paper indicate that attitudinal loyalty is satisfaction driven and that satisfaction and attitudinal loyalty are related but divergent concepts. However had the analysis relied exclusively on correlation or exploratory factor analysis the empirical resul...

A by-product of increasing recent attention to implicit measures of attitudes is the controversial hypothesis of dissociated attitude representations (i.e., dual attitudes). This reference to dissociation implies the existence of distinct structural representations underlying distinguishable classes of attitude manifestations. In psychology, appeals to dissociation range from the mundane to the...

BACKGROUND Relapse among patients in substance abuse treatment has generated interest in identifying attitudinal factors that sustain recovery. OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship of attitudes toward approaches to motivation for treatment and Twelve Step beliefs. METHODS Dually diagnosed patients (N = 100) completed a survey assessing treatment attitudes, motivation, and Twelve Step belief...

A novel intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) score function and an intuitionistic fuzzy preference relation (IFPR) quantifier guided non-dominance based prioritisation method are introduced. Based on Yager’s continuous OWA (COWA) operator, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy COWA (IVIF-COWA) operator is defined, and a new attitudinal expected score function for interval-valued intuitionistic fuz...

The author examined the extent to which familism, which is generally regarded as a Hispanic cultural value, is applicable to other ethnic groups as well. An ethnically diverse sample of 318 Hispanic, non-Hispanic White, and non-Hispanic Black young adults completed measures of attitudinal familism, collectivism, and interdependence. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the scoring algori...
