PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The latitude of noncommitment is where people place attitudes they find neither acceptable nor rejectable.

Detailed explanation-2: -While accepting and rejecting certain positions concerning an issue, the zone of indifference (latitude of non-commitment) allows an individual to remain neutral (moderate) regarding certain positions. With opinions neither accepted nor rejected, perceptual distortions are least likely to happen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Now, according to Social Judgment Theory, we can categorize each position into one of three zones: the latitude of acceptance (zone of positions we accept); the latitude of non-commitment (zone of positions we neither accept nor reject); and. the latitude of rejection (zone of positions we reject).

Detailed explanation-4: -People who have a deep concern or have extreme opinions on either side of the argument always care deeply and have a large latitude of rejection because they already have their strong opinion formed and usually are not willing to change that.
