A bad attitude usually means the person is negative, a downer, everythings bad, nothing is going to turn out good, someone you do not want to be around; sometimes this attitude rubs off on other people which you do not want to happen to you and yours.

Answer 2Attitude is a predisposition or a tendency; for an individual, a group of people, or a state; to respond positively or negatively towards a certain idea, object, person, or situation.

Attitude influences an individual's choice of action, and responses to challenges, incentives, and rewards(together called stimuli). Four major components of attitude are:

1. Affective: emotions or feelings.
2. Cognitive: belief or opinions held consciously.
3. Conative: inclination for action.
4. Evaluative: positive or negative response to stimuli.
