All of these choices are factors that can weaken the link between attitude and behaviour. If the attitude is not very strong or important, it may not be a good predictor of behaviour. If the behaviour is influenced by many other factors, such as social norms or situational factors, the attitude may not be the primary determinant of behaviour. Finally, if the attitude and behaviour are not measured at the same level of specificity, such as if the attitude is general (e.g. "I support recycling") and the behaviour is specific (e.g. "I recycle paper"), there may be a weaker link between them.
