The document discusses the relationship between attitudes and behavior, noting that while attitudes do not strongly predict behavior in general, the relationship can be strengthened by considering the specificity of the attitude and behavior, the individual being assessed, and the situational context. Certain factors like social pressure and attitude accessibility can increase the likelihood that attitudes will translate into actual behaviors.

I think self -monitoring is how we evaluate ourselves and is a way to make us better. If we were to truly monitor, correct the faults that we see, and build on our strengths on some of the critical traits for locus of control, how we perceive ourselves and others, self-efficacy, attitude and self-esteem we could change our weaker areas. "Locus of control deals with the degree to which people feel accountable for their own behaviors"(The Saylor Foundation, 2017). Locus of control discusses the internal and external locus of control. Internal means that you are the reason something is happening and external is saying that something else caused this to happen. "Perception may be defined as the process with which individuals detect and interpret environmental stimuli"(The Saylor Foundation, 2017). The three areas of perception are visual, Self and social. A persons perception might not always be as they think it is and might cause them to judge another person the wrong way by misunderstanding their actions. I think self perception has to do with the way people are and depends a lot on how they grew up. It plays a large part in their self esteem, whether they are approachable, social or just like to keep to themselves. "Self-efficacy is a belief that one can perform a specific task successfully"(The Saylor Foundation, 2017). Everyone does not have this ability, but the ones that do are usually successful when trying new things and getting the job done above the standard. I think that this is crucial in any organization, especially the Army. We are always getting new tasks, promotion, and missions that we have never done before that if we fail have a lot of consequences. Failure cannot be in our thought process. Understanding this in the work place will help with the dynamics that come a long with a lot of different personalities. You shouldn't be quick to judge others by getting the wrong perception. Helping yourself and others understand this will build a stronger organization and team within that organization.

Locus of control, self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-monitoring, and attitudes and perception make-up a sort of melting pot of how one behaves. Locus of control describes the level of accountability people assume in regard to their behavior, (Saylor Foundation, 2017). Self-esteem is described as how a person feels about themselves, (Saylor Foundation, 2017). Perception is how individuals “detect and interpret environmental stimuli, (Saylor Foundation, 2017). Finally, self-efficacy refers to the belief an individual has that they can perform a specific task specifically, (Saylor Foundation, 2017). Depending upon the levels of these concepts that the individual possesses is the result of how one is able to self-monitor their actions in a number of situations, (Saylor Foundation, 2017). For example, a person with high self-esteem is likely to have much higher job satisfaction and performance. Relative to self-mo ...

Your attitude to something is the way that you think and feel about it. Your attitude towards someone is the way you behave when you are dealing with them, especially when this shows how you feel about them.

2. Do Attitudes Determine
Behavior?
An underlying assumption in persuasion
research is: Shift a person’s attitude in the
right direction and behavior will follow.
Examples:
1. If people see the value of wearing their
seatbelt then they are more likely to actually
wear it.
2. If people think that smoking is bad for their
health then they will quit.
3. Basic Questions
Is there a relationship between attitudes
and behavior and, if so, how strong is
it?
When might such a relationship exist?
How do attitudes influence behavior?
In other words, what is the
psychological process?
4. Do Attitudes Predict
Behavior? Yes, but not
strongly.
Classic Study of Cheating
Relationship between attitudes toward cheating and actual
cheating behavior.
Students took True-False exam then asked to assign
themselves a score.
Instructor also graded the exam.
Discrepancy between student’s self-assigned score and
instructor’s score was measure of cheating behavior.
Relationship between attitude toward cheating and
actually cheating close to zero.
Those who did poorly more likely to cheat.
Meta-analysis of attitude studies showed less than .
30 correlation between attitudes and behavior.
5. When do attitudes predict
behavior?
Are there factors that make attitudes more or
less predictive of behavior?
4 Factors that Impact the Relationship:
Qualities of the…
Behavior (General vs. specific)
Person (Who is being asked)
Situation (When and how are they being asked?)
Attitude (How was the attitude formed?)
6. Attitude Change
Attitude-Behavior Survey
Yes, Important Yes, I acted
1. Students should read
2. Homelessness is a problem 100
3. I should exercise
80
4. I should recycle
5. I should designate a driver 60
6. I should vote 40
7. Should change strategy to
20
fight terrorism
0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
7. Behavior Being Predicted
Attitudes and behaviors must be
measured at the same level of
specificity.
Example: A person’s attitude toward
their general health will not predict their
propensity to jog.
Specific attitudes will predict specific
behaviors.
8. Person You Ask
Certain peoples’ attitudes are more
consistent with their behaviors than others.
Example: High Self Monitors
A high self monitor changes their behavior
depending on the situation. A low self monitor
behaves the same way across situations.
Are you a high self monitor?
The behavior of low self monitors is consistent
with their expressed attitudes.
9. Situation in Which You Ask
Them
Whether attitudes predict behavior may depend
on the context in which you ask the question.
Norms can be so strong that it is unlikely that
overt behavior will reflect private attitudes.
Example: People who hate their jobs will still go to work
because of normative and financial incentives.
Attitudes toward work predict attendance when
obligation to attend is removed.
Question: How many people would show up if I made
one class “optional”?
10. Additional Situational Factors
Attitudes are more predictive of
behavior when:
People have a vested interest in the issue.
When people are under time pressure.
When situational cues make your attitude
salient (a focus of attention).
Situations can be changed to make
attitudes more predictive.
11. Job Satisfaction and
Performance
Studies have shown consistently that happy
workers are not necessarily more productive.
Why do think this is the case?
How can job attitudes become more
predictive of behavior at work?
Recent study shows that happy workers don’t
make firms more successful, but successful firms
make their employees happier.
12. How do Attitudes Actually
Predict Behavior?
Two theoretical models that explain why
attitudes predict behavior.
Theory of Reasoned Action:
Theory relevant when the behavior is thoughtfully
planned in advance.
Attitude-To-Behavior Process Model
Theory relevant when behavior is a spontaneous
reaction to one’s immediate situation.
14. Decision to Protest Parking
Lot
Attitude Formation:
Saving trees is important to me.
Environmental protests are effective.
Social Pressure:
My friends are going to protest and they
might not talk to me if I don’t.
Result: I intend to protest and my
intention will result in action.
15. Decision to Stay Home
Attitude Formation:
Protests never work and there are enough
trees in Ithaca anyway.
Social Pressure:
My friends think protesting is stupid and
they will think I am weird if I go.
Result:
I intend to stay home.
16. Spontaneous Behavior
Sometimes people’s attitudes will result
in a spontaneous (unplanned) behavior.
Example: If you hate cockroaches then
you don’t have to think about what to do
when you see one.
Reason: Some attitudes are more
accessible (memorable) than others.
17. Attitude Accessibility
Attitudes guide our interpretation of an
object or a situation.
If the attitude is memorable than it will
have an immediate impact on our
behavior.
If the attitude is not memorable than it
will impact our behavior only when
recalled.
18. Attitude Change Through
Priming
Title: ILR (Development/Recovery) Exercise
Instructions:
“A recent external audit revealed that ILR has been
(improving/declining) as an institution over the
last decade. However, the audit was vague as to
why this (improvement/decline ) might be
occurring. As a group, please list all of the ways
that the administration can (keep/get) ILR moving
in the right direction. In other words, list all of the
things you (like/dislike) about ILR.”
19. Satisfaction with ILR
Student who were randomly assigned to think
about things they didn’t like about ILR were also
less satisfied:
With the academic resources at ILR
(p < .05)
That they are receiving a high quality education at ILR
(p < .10)
With the variety of courses offered at ILR
(p < .05
That ILR has helped them prepare for career after
college
(p < .10)
20. Self Serving Bias
On average, people believe that they
are above average.
People take credit for their success but
attribute failure to external/situational
factors.
Egocentric bias in groups such that
each person believes they contributed
more than any other person.
21. Satisfaction with Yourself
More Negative
Even
More Positive
On average you listed 6.5 strong statements vs. 4.9
weak statements, t (45) = 4.37, p < .01
22. In Sum
In general, the relationship between
attitude and behavior is weak.
However, it is possible to strengthen
this link.
Combine attitude with social pressure.
Make attitude memorable.
