"Attitude is a feeling, belief, or opinion of approval or disapproval towards

something. Behavior is an action or reaction that occurs in response to an
event or internal stimuli (i.e., thought)."

People hold complex relationships between attitudes and behavior that are
further complicated by the social factors influencing both. Behaviors usually,
but not always, reflect established beliefs and attitudes. For example, a man
who believes strongly in abstinence before marriage may choose to remain a
virgin until his wedding night. Under other circumstances, that same man
may engage in premarital sex despite his convictions after being influenced
by social messages that his masculinity is dependent on sexual activity.

Ideally, positive attitudes manifest well-adjusted behaviors. However, in

some cases healthy attitudes may result in harmful behavior. For example,
someone may remain in an abusive and potentially deadly domestic situation
because they hold negative attitudes towards divorce.

Behavior can be influenced by a number of factors beyond attitude, including

preconceptions about self and others, monetary factors, social influences
(what peers and community members are saying and doing), and
convenience. Someone may have strong convictions about improving the
public school system in their town, but if it means a hefty increase to their
property taxes, they may vote against any improvements due to the
potential for monetary loss. Or, they may simply not vote at all because their
polling place is too far from their home, or the weather is bad on election
day.

Studies have demonstrated that, in some cases, pointing out inconsistencies

between attitudes and behavior can redirect the behavior. In the case of the
school supporter, showing that their actions (i.e., not voting, not attending
parent-teacher organization meetings) are harming rather than helping
efforts to improve education in their town may influence them to reevaluate
their behavior so that it reflects their attitudes.

For those in need of psychological treatment, there are several treatment

approaches that focus on changing attitudes in order to change behavior.
Cognitive therapy and cognitive-behavior therapy are two of those
techniques. Cognitive therapy attempts to change irrational ways of thinking.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy tries to correct the resulting inappropriate
behavior.

Changing attitudes to change behavior

Attitude and behavior are woven into the fabric of daily life. Research has
shown that individuals register an immediate and automatic reaction of
"good" or "bad" towards everything they encounter in less than a second,
even before they are aware of having formed an attitude. Advertising,
political campaigns, and other persuasive media messages are all built on

the premise that behavior follows attitude, and attitude can be influenced
with the right message delivered in the right way.

The fields of social and behavioral psychology have researched the

relationship between attitude and behavior extensively. The more
psychologists can understand the relationship between attitude and behavior
and the factors that influence both, the more effectively they can treat
mental disorders, and contribute to the dialogue on important social
problems such as racism, gender bias, and age discrimination.

The concept of "social marketing" combines cognitive-behavioral

components of psychology with social science and commercial marketing
techniques to encourage or discourage behaviors by changing the attitudes
that cause them. It is also a key part of public health education initiatives,
particularly in the case of preventive medicine. Campaigns promoting
positive attitudes towards prenatal care, abstinence from drug use, smoking
cessation, sunscreen use, organ donations, safe sex, cancer screening, and
other healthcare initiatives are all examples of social marketing in action. In
effect, social marketing is "selling" attitudes and beliefs and ideally
influencing associated behavior.

Changing behavior to influence attitudes

In 1955, clinical psychologist and educator George Kelly introduced his

psychology of personal constructs. Kelly's constructs were based on the idea
that each individual looks at the world through his or her own unique set of
preconceived notions about it (i.e., constructs). These constructs change and
adapt as the individual is exposed to new and different situations. At the
heart of Kelly's theory is the idea that individuals can seek new experiences
and practice and adapt new behaviors in order to change their attitudes (or
constructs) towards the world. He recommended that therapists encourage
their patients to try out new behaviors and coping strategies; he and others
that followed frequently found that patients would adapt these useful new
behavior patterns and subsequently change their attitudes.

When behavior is inconsistent with attitude, it is sometimes a result of social

or peer pressure. While adult behavior generally follows from held attitudes,
for children, attitudes are often shaped by observed behavior. From a very
young age, children copy the actions of others and, to a degree, build their
attitudes and beliefs from this learned behavior. As children grow into
adolescence, the behavior of their peers can have a significant impact.
Sometimes this peer pressure factor can be used to an advantage. One
research study found that antismoking campaigns targeted at teenagers can
have a higher success rate when adolescent peers are used as instructors.
