[Learning Outcomes] - Attitudes problem?

Hmmm, the reading is straightforward and easy to understand on the different learning outcomes, ranked with different levels and prerequisites. When I reached the part of attitude, I have a wonder on my mind. It is referred along with social interactions, positive or negative preferences or choices, affective emotional component and values. Obviously, it is something internal which could not be seen - a fuzzy! (-_lll

But, I have encountered many times where my friends saying "that guy got attitude problem". Does it mean they have negative attitudes? Not really. Those who are executed with this term - attitude problem, basically have 'weird' actions or, impoliteness, or even over-reacted. I do not really use this term, as to me, I believe the reasons behind all these 'weirdness' are not about attitude but more towards 'characteristics or personalities'. I believe, attitudes are shaped by other factors, be it biological or sociological.

Thus when I read about the attitude in the text, I could not find a link or relationship with the term 'attitude problem' at all. Anyone could explain to me? Or perhaps they use the term wrongly? Or there is no such term at all?
