Difference between behavior and attitude

Ø Attitude is permanent while behavior is temporary

Ø Attitudes predict behavior better when the attitude is measured at a level that is similar to the behavior to be predicted. Normally, the behavior is specific, so it is better to measure the attitude at a specific level too.

Ø An attitude is an enduring set of emotions or beliefs about a particular object, person, organization, issue or event. They're formed over time as we are exposed to stimuli and make an evaluation. ... As we experience the world, our thoughts and emotions coalesce into attitudes, and these then affect our behavior.

Ø While attitude involves mind's predisposition to certain ideas, values, people, systems, institutions; behaviour relates to the actual expression of feelings, action or inaction orally or/and through body language. 

 

 

 u Opinions

Ø An opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement that is not conclusive, rather than facts which are true statements.

Ø Opinion is our mindset for different situation and things

 

 

 u Why do all these become a problem

Ø Communicators have different values, attitudes and opinions

Ø Our receivers will favor us if our messages agree to their mindsets, attitudes and opinions

 

 u People with different values attitudes and opinions

Ø Our message is rejected when it becomes unfavorable for our receiver.

Ø We usually react to a situation according to our attitudes rather than a fact

 

 u Closed minds

Ø Some people have rigid views about some subjects. These people never consider facts or additional information.

Ø They will maintain their rigid views even with the passage of the time.

Ø People with closed minds are very difficult to communicate.

Ø Sometimes people have their own interests.

 

 

 

 

 u Sender’s credibility

Ø Credibility in the sender is important in getting a favorable reaction.

Ø In a situation people react more to the source of information than to the information itself.

Ø In our common life we give more attention to a communicator who has credibility someone whom we trust and respect

 

 

 

 u Most important is….

Ø An effective communicator builds credibility by writing and speaking in a fair and just manner and by considering receiver’s point of view.

Ø If you are considerate and taking care of others, you are making your own image

Ø Our attitude towards a message can be affected if we have some personal or environmental stress

Ø On a day when we are personally upset, our message will also be very gloomy and uncooperative.

Ø The stresses of our life affect our ability to send effective messages and color our responses as a receiver

Ø Doesn’t matter if you are sensitive to your own state of mind but sensitivity to your receiver will help you to communicate your message in a positive way
