What did the study conducted by Richard LaPiere reveal about the relationship between attitudes and behavior? |
Attitudes always predict behavior accurately. Attitudes may not always predict actual pattern of one’s behaviour Behavior can influence attitude Attitude can influence behaviour |
Attitudes may not always predict actual pattern of one’s behaviour |
The correct answer is Option 2: Attitudes may not always predict actual pattern of one’s behaviour An example illustrating the inconsistency between attitudes and behavior is Richard LaPiere's study on prejudice against the Chinese in the United States. Despite hotels exhibiting positive behavior by accommodating a Chinese couple during their travels, subsequent surveys revealed a negative attitude towards accommodating Chinese guests. This discrepancy demonstrates that attitudes may not always accurately predict behavior. |
