An Examination of the Etiology of the Attitude-Behavior Relation for Goal-Directed Behaviors.

Bagozzi, Richard P.; Warshaw, Paul R.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v27 n4 p601-34 1992

The nature of the attitude-behavior relation was investigated through the use of structural equation models in a cross-lagged panel design involving 254 undergraduates reacting to 2 kinds of goal-directed behaviors. Results suggest that intentions, and to a lesser extent attitudes, are dependent on behavior and not the reverse. (SLD)
