attitude
Let an agent discuss attitudes as a psychological concept, including measurement and change, presenting research with attribution and avoiding manipulation.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent discuss attitudes as a psychological concept, including measurement and change, presenting research with attribution and avoiding manipulation.
A relatively stable evaluation of, or disposition toward, a person, object, idea or group, involving beliefs, feelings and behavioural tendencies, such as risk appetite, scorn or nonconformity; studied in social psychology.
What it is for: Understanding opinions, behaviour and communication.
It can be explain components of attitudes; describe how attitudes are measured; summarise research on attitude change; separate other senses of attitude.
