Which of the following is NOT a condition for consistency between attitudes and behavior?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Psychologists have identified factors that contribute to consistency between attitudes and behavior. These include:
- The strength and centrality of the attitude within the individual's attitude system.
- Awareness of one's own attitude.
- Minimal or no external pressure to conform to specific behaviors, such as the absence of group norms.
- The person’s behaviour is not being watched or evaluated by others.
- The belief that the behavior will lead to positive consequences, thus intending to engage in that behavior.
