Question

Jude was raised in a vegan family. Before he goes to college, his mother tells him that it will be very hard to maintain a healthy vegan diet in a college dorm and that a healthy diet is more important than a vegan diet. Jude's mother is trying to protect him from experiencing
a. conflicting implicit and explicit attitudes.
b. cognitive dissonance.
c. overcoming socialization.
d. extinguishing a conditioned attitude.

Answer 1

Jude's mother is trying to protect him from experiencing extinguishing a conditioned attitude.

Option D

Explanation:

A conditioned attitude is a way or behavior of life, or approach towards a particular incident keeping a condition in mind.  In the given condition, Jude is vegan by diet from home. Here the condition is that no non vegetarian item like meat, fish etc should be present in his diet.

Now, mother of Jade wants to change this notion. She wants Jade to eat everything while he is living in the dorm. That will not only make his life easier, but also guarantee the quality nutrition. She wants to break a conditioned attitude or approach towards a particular practice.
