So, the type of attitude we carry, speaks a lot about us, as we get into that mood and transmits a message to the people around us. There is no such thing like ideal attitude, for a particular situation as it is spontaneous and so we always have a choice to opt the right attitude for us.

11. Influence in Behavior By Shumail Katherine

12. How Attitude Influence Behavior Attitudes can influence behavior in many ways. The first factors are as follows: 1) Social Norms: Social norms determine what attitude are acceptable in a particular social group and will affect when an individual is expressing their “true” attitude. Also these norms can foresee attitudes, intensions and behaviors in many situations.

13. Continued… 2) Pluralistic Ignorance: This means that bias of people to mistakenly believe that their attitudes differ from others around them when in fact others may hold the same attitudes or beliefs. Important forms of situational constraints can moderate the relationship between attitudes and behavior and block attitudes from being expressed in overt behavior

14. When will Attitude influence Behavior For Example: An individual is being robbed at gunpoint and is overwhelmed with fear and confusion. The individual now reacts by giving the robber his/her money out of impulse. The individual reacted this way because it is normal to be full of fear and confusion when being robbed, rather than being joyful and happy in that situation.

15. Change of Attitude and behavior By Fahad Altaf

16. How to Change Attitude Generating a Positive Attitude:  A change in attitude depends on living a new kind of life .  Whatever the negative parts of your life may be, you'll need to let them go if you're going to develop a better attitude . Look for the positive:   To develop a positive attitude you should force yourself to notice the good . Someone with a negative attitude can easily find the downside of any circumstance. Share your positive observations with others, and keep negative remarks to yourself. 

17. How to Change Behavior Changing Your Own Behavior: Set yourself up for success by making sure you have practical ways to reach your goals. You’ll be better able to keep track of your progress and stay motivated if you stick to one or two small, specific, and achievable goals . Choose behaviors that you actually want to change, not just that other people ask you to change. Maintaining Behavioral Changes: Observe and record the behavior you’re changing . Ask for help if you need it from s upportive friends and family members. Experiencing too much stress can keep you from being able to successfully change your behavior . C ontinue modifying your behavior.

18. Conclusion By Sidra Saher

19. Conclusion So, with the above discussion, it is clear that whatever you say or do, conveys a message to the world about what’s going on in your mind. It is universally accepted fact that our emotions, opinions and thoughts cannot be observed, which shows our attitude. Further, our behavior is ruled by our attitude as his/her actions are the reflection of his/her thoughts.

20. Continued… Studies have demonstrated that, in some cases, pointing out inconsistencies between attitudes and behavior can redirect the behavior. In the case of the school supporter, showing that their actions (i.e., not voting, not attending parent-teacher organization meetings) are harming rather than helping efforts to improve education in their town may influence them to reevaluate their behavior so that it reflects their attitudes .
