Perceived Responsiveness Increases Tolerance of Attitude Ambivalence and Enhances Intentions to Behave in an Open-Minded Manner
TLDR
Perceived responsiveness reduces the perception that one’s initial attitude is correct and valid, indicating that attitude structure and behavior intentions can be changed by an interpersonal variable, unrelated to the attitude itself.
Perceived Knowledge Moderates the Relation Between Subjective Ambivalence and the “Impact” of Attitudes: An Attitude Strength Perspective
TLDR
Perceived knowledge can moderate the relation between ambivalence and the impact of attitudes on related thinking, judging, and behaving and highlights the importance of understanding the combined impact of attitude strength antecedents.
Ambivalence and Interpersonal Liking: The Expression of Ambivalence as Social Validation of Attitudinal Conflict

The Social Utility of Ambivalence: Being Ambivalent on Controversial Issues Is Recognized as Competence
TLDR
Attitudinal ambivalence can be positively valued, as it is perceived as competence when the expression of criticism is socially accepted, and should be judged higher on social utility but not on social desirability, compared to clear-cut attitudes.

Metacognitive Reflection as a Moderator of Attitude Strength Versus Attitude Bolstering: Implications for Attitude Similarity and Attraction

Attitudinal Ambivalence and Message-Based Persuasion: Motivated Processing of Proattitudinal Information and Avoidance of Counterattitudinal Information
TLDR
It is suggested that ambivalence can also create the opposite effect: avoidance of thinking about persuasive messages, which should lead people to avoid processing of counterattitudinal (disagreeable) information that threatens to increase ambivalentence.
