Scientific attitude: the mindset and approach that individuals have towards science. It involves having a rational outlook, accepting information based on scientific evidence no matter personal opinion, promoting logical thinking, and encouraging systematic doubts and critical thinking- approach with three steps:

Curiosity: "Does it work?"- when put to the test, can predictions be confirmed?

Skepticism: (Not cynical) "What do you mean?" "How do you know" Sifting reality from fantasy

Humility: "That was unexpected! Let's explore further." (Follow new ideas- predictions are not always right- not about opinion)

The scientific attitude equips us to be curious, skeptical, and humble in scrutinizing competing ideas or our own observations. Curiosity triggers new ideas, skepticism encourages attention to the facts, and humility helps us discard predictions that can't be verified by research.
