The correct answer and explanation is:
True Statements:
- In general, the stronger and more personally relevant an attitude is, the more likely it is to predict behavior.
- This is true because stronger and more personally relevant attitudes are more likely to influence behavior. When an individual cares deeply about an issue, their behavior tends to align more with their attitude toward that issue.
- Attitudes formed through direct experience tend to be good predictors of behavior.
- True. When individuals have direct experience with a situation, their attitudes formed from that experience are generally more consistent with their behavior, as the attitude is based on personal encounters or interactions.
- The more specific an attitude is, the more predictive it is.
- This is true. Specific attitudes toward a particular behavior or situation are more likely to predict that specific behavior. General attitudes tend to be less accurate in predicting behavior.
False Statement:
- When attitudes are difficult to access from memory, they are more likely to predict behavior because we spend a lot of time trying to write the correct answer and 300 words explanations.
- This is false. If attitudes are difficult to access from memory, they are less likely to predict behavior. When an attitude is not easily accessible, people may rely on other factors or heuristics to guide their behavior, which might not align with their true attitude.
