attitude shift

New mental stance

An attitude shift is a change in how someone thinks or feels about something.

The phrase often appears in discussions of social change, where collective attitude shifts transform public opinion over time: There's been a major attitude shift toward remote work since the pandemic.

On an individual level, it suggests a deliberate or noticeable change in outlook: After the accident, she had a real attitude shift about what matters in life.
