Where do attitudes come from?
Some attitudes seem to reflect stable,internal dispositions of the individual i.e., ways of seeing the world
Broad attitudinal dispositions mighthave a shared genetic basis

Explicit V. Implicit Attitudes
Once we have developed an attitude(an orientation to some object), thisattitude can exist in a number of states:
1. Explicit attitudes: The evaluations we consciously express.
2. Implicit attitudes: Involuntary responses to the attitude object.

Attitude functionAttitudes will fluctuate in order to serve our
current needs.Four major functions
1. Utilitarian function
- Helps person to achieve rewards and gainapproval from others
2. Knowledge function
- Attitudes can be used as a frame of
reference for organizing the world so that itmakes sense
-For example, we perceive knowledge that contradicts ourviews with suspicion, thus forming a negative impression of
that source of information (Giner-Sorolla & Chaiken, 1997).

Attitude function
3. Ego-defensive function- Helps to cope with emotional conflicts andprotect and enhance ones self-esteem.
-E.g., ones job not going well, can blame colleagues or his boss, thisnegative orientation towards the people he or she blames protects onefrom acknowledging painful truths.
4. Value-expressive function
- Help to express central values and core
aspects of self-concept.
- For example, if you are a person who firmly believes in fairtreatment and equality towards others, youll most likely have apositive attitude towards particular political parties and a negativeattitude towards others.

BehaviorA persons behavior
is the way they act in general,especially
in relation to the situation they are in
or the people they are with.

Attitudes + behaviour
Part of the interest in attitudes is due to theassumption that people act in accordance withtheir attitudes:
Companies spend ridiculous amounts of money onadvertising campaigns designed to changepeoples attitudes toward their products.
Political parties closely monitor opinion polls to try
and gauge the mood of the community and thelikely outcome of elections.
Do attitudes really predict behaviour?
-
8/2/2019 Attitudes Make Personal Ties (1)
31/128
Attitudes + behaviour
Later research confirmed the gap: E.g., Wicker (1969) reviewed research on the attitude-behaviour link
Although the two were usually positively related, the relationship was
typically small (averager
= .15).
Evidence for weak relationshipsbetween attitudes and behaviour
prompted 2 responses:1. Attitudes are a load of rubbish!
2. Attitudes are related to behaviour, but the relationship is more complex

Attitudes + behaviour: The full
story
1. Not all attitudes should be relatedto behaviour: Specific attitudes should predict behaviour better then general
attitudes
Strong (accessible) attitudes should predict behaviour better
than weak attitudes.
2. Other variables are involved in theattitude-behaviour relationship

Attitudes + Behaviour: The full
story Research using more complete models have
provided a better account of the attitudebehaviour relationship:
Attitudes arerelated to behaviours but notdirectly.
Attitudes affect behaviour - in combination withnorms, control beliefs, and intentions.
In addition to being a theoretical improvement,this approach has also proven to be very practical.

Failure is not a crime. All humans are fallible. It is not terrible to be not perfect. Negative stress comes from what you tell
yourself, like I must always succeed. Ive to meet everyones expectations of me. Im no good unless I do everything right.

Our baby weighing machine has gone for repairs. But
we can weigh the baby on the general weighingmachine, the sales attendant offered.
How will you do that? asked the man.
