These are two sentences from the Macmillan dictionary online:
attitude toward: Attitudes towards the older members of the group will have to change.
attitude to: People here have a more relaxed attitude to their work.
Why there are two difference prepositions in these sentences? Are they interchangeable?
And here an example from the Longman dictionary:
attitude about
▪ young people's attitudes about sex
Why the preposition about? Why not to or towards?
