CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -People’s attitudes are often a good predictor of their behaviour. If someone has a positive attitude towards something, they’re more likely to act in a positive way towards it. Likewise, if someone has a negative attitude, they’re more likely to act in a negative way.

Detailed explanation-2: -A stronger (more favorable) attitude toward an issue may make the connections between related behaviors more salient and increase the motivation to work toward the underlying goal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Social psychologists have labeled attitudes that are good at predicting behavior as strong attitudes. Strong attitudes typically stay the same over time and so are more likely to produce consistent behavior over time.

Detailed explanation-4: -Strong attitudes are more likely to determine behavior than weak attitudes. People are more likely to act on their attitudes when they have a interest in the outcome. People are more likely to behave in accord with their attitudes when they are accessible-that is, when they are brought to mind.
