Article Synopsis
- Attitude representation theory suggests that attitudes influence behaviors and can change based on situational perceptions and activated assumptions.
- Individuals draw on their mental examples or 'exemplars' when forming attitudes, and the way those exemplars are viewed can lead to variations in attitude reports and behavior consistency.
- Research shows that individuals with unstable exemplars are more likely to experience changes in their attitudes compared to those with stable exemplars.
