Do attitudes exist?
Researchers use attitudes to explain patterns of
behavior that would otherwise be very difficult to
explain.
Recent research has shown that attitudinal
responses can be influenced by a variety of
contextual factors:
These results have led researchers to conclude that
we dont need attitudes, we should focus on
understanding responses.
Despite the controversy, attitude measurement
techniques can still provide predictive power.

Attitude Formation
All theories have some representation of the consistency
between the attitudes we hold and how we behave.
Cognitive Dissonance
People try to reduce the dissonance between their
behaviors and their actions. E.g. I feel that drinking and
driving is wrong, but I drive after drinking.
Dissonance accounts for increased attitudes towards
the product after buying it. People actively search for
ways to reduce dissonance, making the product look
better.

Attitude Formation
Self-perception Theory
Assumes that people try to learn their attitudes by
observing their own behavior. E.g. I bought an entire
box of chocolates, so I must really like them. Also
accounts for post-purchase increase in attitudes.
Social Judgment Theory
Assumes that preexisting attitudes act as a frame of
reference, and that new information is compared to this
frame before being classified. Messages falling within
the latitude of acceptance are thought to be more
consistent (assimilation) while messages outside are
thought to be less consistent (contrast).
