The Role of Attitudes in Behavior

Easy Unit 9: Social Psychology Attitudes And Actions

In social psychology, attitudes can significantly influence our actions and decision-making. One well-known theory that explains this relationship is the theory of planned behavior, which suggests that individual behavior is directly influenced by their intentions. These intentions, however, are formed based on several factors including their attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.

Based on this concept, which of the following statements accurately describes the influence of attitudes on behavior?

People's attitudes are usually consistent with their behaviors, regardless of external factors.

Attitudes have no impact on behavior when social norms are strong.

Individuals are more likely to act in accordance with their attitudes when they lack strong social pressures.

A person's behavior is always a reflection of their true feelings and beliefs.

Attitudes affect behavior only in situations where there is no choice.
