Project description

Previous research shows that positive attitudes do not always translate into corresponding behaviour. The objective of this porject is to take into account attitudinal (attitude strength and accessibility), situational (e.g., spontaneous versus intentional decision making), and personal (e.g., Need for Closure) moderators of the relation between attitudes and behaviour to improve our understanding of the link between both concepts.
