Attitudes

29.6K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality01:30

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

652
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Cognitive Dissonance

33.6K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.2K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Psychology
  • Health Behavior

Background:

  • Understanding behavior change is crucial for public health and interventions.
  • Attitudes and intentions are frequently theorized as key determinants of behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the relationship between attitudes, intentions, and behavior change.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions targeting attitudes and intentions for behavior modification.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a four-stage experimental medicine approach.
  • Reviewed correlational and experimental studies examining attitude-behavior and intention-behavior relationships.
  • Assessed evidence for intervention-induced changes in attitudes/intentions and their mediating role in behavior change.

Main Results:

  • Attitudes and intentions show small- to medium-sized relationships with behavior.
  • Experimental studies indicate medium changes in attitudes/intentions yield small behavior changes.
  • Interventions can effectively alter attitudes and intentions, which partially mediate behavior change.

Conclusions:

  • Attitudes and intentions are significant, albeit partial, mediators of behavior change.
  • Further experimental research is required to optimize interventions for specific populations and behaviors.
  • A deeper understanding of "what works for whom, when, how, and for what behaviors" is needed.
