(D) The person's behaviour is being watched by others
(E) The person thinks that the behaviour would have a positive consequence

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B), (E) Only

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B), (E) Only

Consistency between attitude and behaviour is more likely when:

• (A) The person is aware of his/her attitude: Self-awareness increases alignment between what one believes and how one acts.

• (B) The attitude is strong: Stronger attitudes are more stable and predictive of behavior.

• (E) The person thinks that the behaviour would have a positive consequence: If a person believes the outcome of acting on their attitude is beneficial, they’re more likely to behave accordingly.

Why not (C) and (D)?

• (C) External pressure may force a person to act against their attitude.

• (D) Being watched may also lead to behavior that doesn't reflect true attitudes (e.g., acting differently due to social desirability).
