Question

Suppose you have a friend from India who is a lifelong vegetarian and who does not like McDonald's because the company sells hamburgers in many countries (although not in India). Which of the following describes your friend?

1) "vegetarianism" represents a value, "dislike McDonald's" represents an attitude
2) "vegetarianism" represents an attitude, "dislike McDonald's" represents a value
3) "vegetarianism" and "dislike McDonald's" both represent an attitude
4) "vegetarianism" represents a value, "dislike McDonald's" represents a belief
5) "vegetarianism" and "dislike McDonald's" both represent values

Answer 1

The statement that describes your friend here is:

"vegetarianism" represents a value, "dislike McDonald's" represents an attitude Option 1.

Which statement describes your friend?

Values are typically core beliefs that guide behavior, while attitudes are evaluative judgments about specific objects, people, or situations.

In this scenario, "vegetarianism" is likely a deeply held personal value related to dietary choices, while "dislike McDonald's" is more likely an attitude, reflecting a general opinion or feeling toward the company's business practices (selling hamburgers in many countries).
