The most favorable with respect to its attitude toward the content area 

 is type a. These people are not only favorable but they have made up their 

 minds as to why they are favorable. They have considered other alternatives 

 and have reached a decision. 



The second type, b, is not as strongly favorable and also has not decided 

 the issue. The people who comprise this type have not fully decided on their 

 plans. 



Type c shows the same psychological relationship as b but is less favor- 

 able. This type likewise has not reached a decision but finds its attitude 

 toward the subject area less tenable than the previous type. They would 

 prefer to have an alternative, but do not know what it would be. 



The next psychological type is unfavorable to the attitude area, type d. 

 Because this type is decided, it has considered alternatives and believes that 

 the alternatives are preferable. 



Type e is likewise unfavoarble and decided, but because it is more un- 

 favorable, it has reached a decision as to which alternative it prefers. 



The last type, type f, while more unfavorable than any of the preceding 

 types, is undecided. This type is more unfavorable because it has no other 

 alternative and therefore is the most prejudiced against the attitude area. 

 Being without any alternative is the most extreme state of an unfavorable 

 attitude.
