Abstract: This study starts from some previous reports about science related attitudes and the main achievements and contributions to this area along the last decades. The core of these reflections is reviewed here: to define more accurately the attitude objects in science, to obtain more valid and reliable instruments of assessment, the factors and variables correlated with attitudes, the contributions of the Science -Technology -Society movement, and, as a theoretical framework, the attention to the models of attitudes suggested by the Social Psychology. As a synthesis aimed to help science researchers and teachers, a taxonomy of science related attitudes is suggested here to enhance the education of attitudes as a tool to achieve a humanistic scientific literacy in students.
