Most notably they found intentions to purchase new products were a poor predictor the correlation was non-significant and negative. The SUPR-Q actually uses a mix of beliefs and feelings ease, trust, appearance and behavioral intention likelihood to return and likelihood to recommend.
This data suggests that, in general, assuming people are acting on their own free will, they will follow through on their intentions. But not always. But even a strong correlation still means there will be a lot of discrepancy between intentions and actions. This is especially the case when trying to predict individual behavior from individual general attitudes. Attitude is a compound construct. Think of attitude as being composed of what people think and feel and intend to do.
One popular model the Theory of Planned Behavior suggests thoughts and feelings plus social acceptability influence intentions that in turn affect behavior. Intentions may predict behavior better than feelings and beliefs. On average, behavioral intentions can explain a substantial amount of variation in future behavior. This relationship even applies to what people will use and purchase. Attitudes are not perfect predictors of behavior. Attitude become a poorer predictor of behavior when asking about general intentions intent to exercise instead of measuring specific actions e.
When asking about intention to use or purchase products, intentions may only be reliable with an existing rather than a new product.
Skip to content. Do Attitudes Predict Behavior? Jeff Sauro, PhD. June 12, If you don't like someone's behavior, see if you can figure out what they might need. A cranky parent might need a new job that doesn't cause them so much stress.
A seriously disorganized teen might suddenly do more homework if a parent sits with them every afternoon to help, or if they get treatment for ADHD. A sullen child might need more praise and one-on-one time from attentive parents, and then become more upbeat and talkative. An emotionally distant girlfriend might need her boyfriend to listen to her more and validate her feelings. Recognize that people tend to be at their best in a positive environment. People may rise or fall to meet your expectations.
This is especially true if you're their boss, teacher, or parent. An encouraging and supportive environment often helps people be their best selves, and be on their best behavior. Asking "How can I help you? People tend to behave better when they are praised for doing well. Punishments are less effective than some positive words or a reward.
Remember that people can surprise you. Predicting other people's actions is notoriously difficult. Everyone is unique, and everyone is complex. Get used to being surprised by other people, and take it in stride.
Method 2. Practice figuring how other people feel. Try to imagine how you might feel if you were in the same situation that they are.
Then consider the ways they're different from you, to help inform how they may feel a little differently.
Pay attention to people in real life, and in stories you read or watch. Books, movies, and TV for young people often focus on teaching social skills. Pay attention to any lessons in the media that could teach you something.
Work on reading body language. While different people can use body language in different ways, it can usually offer some useful clues about how they feel. This is useful for figuring out whether someone is interested in what you're saying, and whether it's a good time to approach them.
Where are they facing? People tend to look at, and turn towards, what they're interested in. Is their body language mostly open or closed? Relaxed, open body language is a sign that a person feels comfortable. If they're using arms, legs, or objects like a "barrier," then they're probably uncomfortable. Though sometimes, crossed arms can mean that they're just cold. Practice keeping an open mind. Being judgmental, or jumping to conclusions, can make it easy to misunderstand a person or a situation.
Try to assume the best of other people if you don't understand yet. For example, instead of thinking "my new boss must be an overbearing jerk," try telling yourself "maybe she's just talkative, and didn't realize she was interrupting me. Work on your listening skills.
You need to pay attention in order to understand someone. When you listen, focus on what the other person is saying, and not what you're going to say next. Try to understand their perspective, and ask questions.
People tend to open up more if you validate their feelings and say things like "that's understandable" or "that sounds tough; I'm sorry to hear you're going through that. Try to work on discovering people's intentions.
What do they need? What are their goals right now? If you understand what they're trying to achieve, you can often figure out what they might do, and how you can get along with them.
Method 3. Notice patterns in how someone acts. Everyone is unique, and different people will have different habits and quirks. Pay attention to how they typically behave.
Figure out what they like and dislike. When someone reveals that they like or dislike a certain thing, make a mental note about it. That information could be useful later, to help you be a better friend to them. People are often pleased to discover that you remember things about them. For example, if your friend gets distracted by a display at an art supply store when the two of you are at the mall, make note of what caught her interest.
She may be delighted if you buy her something similar to that for her next birthday. If your boyfriend turned quiet and looked uneasy when your friend told him details about a medical procedure, then you'll know he probably wouldn't enjoy watching a medical drama.
Notice what the person is sensitive to. Everyone is sensitive to certain things, whether they'll admit it or not.
