	Ambivalence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ambivalence is a state of conflicting emotions at the same time related to the same object, idea or person (for example, feeling both love and hatred for someone or something).
		The term is also commonly used to refer to situations where 'mixed feelings' of a more general sort are experienced or where a person feels uncertainty or indecisiveness concerning something.
		Another relevant distinction is that whereas the psychoanalytic notion of 'ambivalence' sees it as engendered by all neurotic conflict, a person's everyday 'mixed feelings' may easily be based on a quite realistic assessment of the imperfect nature of the thing being considered.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Opinion / Op-ed / Wooing the 'army' of the ambivalent
		The major political consequences of that sacrifice are a deep US ambivalence about the war's merits, a deeper ambivalence bordering on opposition to the costs of long-term occupation, a deep Iraqi ambivalence about that occupation, and a split between the United States and Europe over the occupation's future.
		Attempting to speak on behalf of this army of the ambivalent is by definition difficult, but the essence of this point of view is anything but squishy.
		The irony is that after all this, the army of the ambivalent is still in effect available to Bush -- for the simple reason that there is a recognition that Iraq cannot be abandoned.

	Ambivalent Patriotism
		There is a comparison of this dilemma of mixed patriotism to an example of ambivalence found in family life, or more specifically within a troubled family, with regard to the relationship between a father and his son.
		Ambivalent Patriotism is no more clearly evident than the feelings of Americans of the Southern descent, i.e.
		And so my patriotism of the United States is Ambivalent: I love the America of 1798, but I am repulsed by those who destroyed it, and by those politicians today who assume powers never rightfully delegated to them.

	University of Florida News - UF Study: Even Abortion Proponents And Opponents Ambivalent About It
		The circumstance of a poor family that cannot afford more children generated the largest number of ambivalent responses in the 1998 survey (33.7 percent of the sample), whereas a pregnancy caused by rape produced the fewest (21.4 percent), he said.
		Those who described themselves as pro-life were much more ambivalent about abortion in cases of rape or when a pregnancy presented a serious risk to a woman’s health.
		The study found ambivalence to be higher among those who were traditionalist on moral questions yet egalitarian with regard to a wife’s role.

		This includes 20 percent who are conservative at the symbolic level yet liberal at the concrete level ("Ambivalent Critics" of government), plus a smaller group of 12 percent who are liberal at the symbolic level yet conservative at the concrete level ("Ambivalent Supporters" of government).
		But the Cantrils find that such ambivalence has no connection to people's level of education, or to their level of knowledge about government.
		Ambivalence just seems to be a political fact of life.

		This is probably just semantics, but I do agree that not fitting into one of those four categories does not mean that someone is “ambivalent”, more that they are “independent” and just don’t fit into one of the four categories, plain and simple.
		Rather than ambivalence, though, this is usually a desire for a third way that recasts the issue in a less polarized way that doesn’t set two necessary truths against each other (e.g.
		Personally, I hope that large “ambivalent” faction includes people waking up to how corrupt the system is and how little it does for them.

		I picked up Ambivalent Zen while my husband was in the midst of reading it and ended up stealing it from him until I had finished it.
		The "Ambivalent Zen" title hits on a key point for practicers: The common consumerist approach of "doing zen" as if it is something separate from oneself, always checking to see if one is getting the results that one wants.
		The ambivalent outcomes (the results of our frequent and subjective self-evaluations) are predictable, seen in that light.

		A mere 7 percent say the most important thing is that the candidate’s policies match their own views.

	Iraq's Kurds Ambivalent On Charter
		On a busy street corner, a lone pink election banner competed for attention with one announcing new flights from the city's airport and another advertising sweets for the holy month of Ramadan.
		And across the city, residents expressed ambivalence about the referendum, even though it could give the Kurds a measure of legitimacy they have long sought.
		As written, the constitution formally recognizes the existence of a largely autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq, makes Arabic and Kurdish the dual official languages of Iraq and supports a Kurdish constitution that can override that of the central government.

	Amazon.com: The Commitment Cure: What to Do When You Fall for an Ambivalent Man: Books: Rhonda Findling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		Men who are ambivalent are results of their emotional immaturity and/or results of their past pain and hurt (from childhood and/or past painful heartbreaks they cannot acknowledge).
		On another side, when we get hurt by the ambivalent men in the past (I had gotten hurt twice), we are more vulnerable to become an ambivalent woman on our own.
		I think it is better for men to stay alone than being attached to women who do not acknowledge their manipulative and ambivalent behavior, or justify all their bad behavior and blame men in general).

	Iraq Not Top of Agenda For U.S. Public
		The public's ambivalence, neither demanding that the President lead the country into war nor insisting that he keep it at peace, means that Bush has a free hand to decide whether or not to invade.
		A public that begins in ambivalence could quickly sour on the war, and the president leading it.
		Then George Bush might discover what Lyndon Johnson lamented during the Vietnam War having the public with you when fighting begins does not guarantee they will be with you when it ends.

		If something is ambiguous it has more than one possible meaning, and so is obscure or difficult to understand: When I asked Stuart if he condemned my action he gave me an ambiguous answer; The message was perfectly clear and not in the least ambiguous.
		If a person is ambivalent they have an uncertain attitude or feeling towards someone or something: The French are ambivalent about royalty: they abolished their own monarchy but are very interested in the British royal family.
		A common error is to use ambivalent instead of ambiguous.

		That ambiguity may reflect the general public's lack of knowledge about the issues surrounding the electronic machines, especially for people who live in areas that have not used them yet, said Thad Hall, an assistant professor of political science at the U. who helped conduct the study.
		"This might represent uncertainty about electronic voting machines, a lack of familiarity with them, or some ambivalence about their use," Hall said.
		Hall said the college plans to conduct a study following the Nov. 2 general election, when more voters will have cast their ballots electronically.

	Religion and Politics: The Ambivalent Majority: Religion and Politics: the Ambivalent Majority
		Americans embrace a role for religion in the nation's political life, but they are conflicted over the extent and contours of that involvement.
		Churches, synagogues and other religious institutions are overwhelmingly seen as positive forces in addressing society's problems.
		Yet the public's ambivalence over religion and politics is also reflected in divisions over "charitable choice" -- an initiative, approved as part of the 1996 welfare reform bill, which permits faith-based organizations to participate in government-funded social service programs.

		Thomas Pynchon would be a slipstream author, as would Kurt Vonnegut and Iain Banks, maybe David Foster Wallace, and definitely Borges and Kafka.
		Sterling remains a science-fiction loyalist in principle, but there's long been a hint of ambivalence, a hint perhaps of thwartedness and pique, in the way he champions pure SF in his essays while excoriating the SF scene as it really exists because it produces mostly genre paperbacks, tie-ins, paint-by-numbers imitations and sequels-of-sequels-of-sequels.
		Conversely, writing on John Updike's "slipstream" novel "Roger's Version" in the fanzine SF Eye, he comes off like a heavy-metal kid apologizing to his friends about liking Beethoven.
