Answer 1

a. dispositional

Step-by-step explanation:

Dispositional attitude is a distinguishing component of our personality, which explains our likes and dislikes as dependent on a number of factors such as our taste, preferences, what we expect, etc. Our dispositional attitudes are what account for the individual differences we have among ourselves, which would determine our behavior and action towards issues, whether negative or positive. Charlene, who shows a positive dispositional attitude generally, would most likely respond actively to stimuli.
