Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attitudes-follow-behaviour effect disappears when participants engage in a behavior that is inconsistent with their pre-existing attitudes. Drinking alcohol is inconsistent with many people's moral or health beliefs, so it would strengthen the attitudes-follow-behaviour effect. However, exercising is generally consistent with positive attitudes towards health and fitness, so the effect would not disappear in that condition. On the other hand, when participants have no choice in their behavior, they may not experience dissonance and the effect may become stronger. Therefore, the best choice is D, which states that the effect disappears when participants drink alcohol.
