Answer:
The answer is: Disposition towards the speaker
Explanation:
If you are making a speech and your audience has very bad references from you, or believes you are a bad or uncaring person, they will not have the best disposition towards you as a speaker and whatever topic you are discussing.
This happens a lot on political debates where you listen carefully to someone you might support and cheer his or her ideas, while you don't even pay attention to his or her opponent.
