Having a bad attitude is having a sort of negative, reproaching look at things. That's only a part of it. It also means being sour about trivial things, maybe being defiant, or arrogant. One could try fixing it by just trying to clear one's mind, find more pleasant aspects of things, and just trying to be more pleasant and amiable all around.

Some people's attitude is so bad, one can't correct it. It takes at least two and sometimes three to correct it.

Do not correct it.
Satre said that one can never be certain of what does or does not interest oneself but one can be definate of what one does not like.
A bad attitude means going against your thoughts for the sake of society.
As soon as your optimistic you set yourself up for a fall because you expect the best but usually, in the majoirty of cases in life, you recieve the worst.

bad attitude is looking at things in a pessimistic way...but you could also say that it is looking at it the 'wrong' way...for example if you don't pay attention when your kitchen needs cleaning then you have a bad attitude towards the cleanliness of your kitchen...but generally look at things in a positive way (like thinking your kitchen will be a nicer place if you clean it...instead of why bother?) and ask your friends to help you look on the bright side of life (like giving a receiving compliments freely and being openly warm)...the little things make a big difference...

Depends on the context. Bad attitude can mean lazy, presumptuous, arrogant, spiteful.
As for correcting it, it's up to you to establish the negative aspects of your behaviour and take steps to rehabilitate yourself accordingly.

Optimism! Having a bad attitude means that you are pessimistic and scientific studies have proved that pessimism shortens your life by approximately one third!
the only way to correct it is by viewing the world in a different way!
Here is some help!
The Optimist Creed
Promise Yourself,
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

If someone disagrees with you, THEY have a bad attitude.
If you disagree with someone else, you are offering "objective criticism."
