Introducing attitudes
6 important questions on Introducing attitudes
Where is disagreement in defining attitude?
- Unitary (one single thing) or not?
- Context-dependent or stable?
What are ways to measure implicit attitudes?
- Affective priming
- Fazio
- Are the words death/joy good or bad? Primed with happy word with a few miliseconds
- Implicit Associations Test
- Man/carriere, vrouw/gezin --> reactietijd om promotie te plaatsen
- Vrouw/carriere, man/gezin --> reactietijd om promotie te plaatsen
- Het is blijkbaar makkelijker om promotie te plaatsen bij een 'congruente' samenstelling van woorden want snellere reactietijd
What research found out that implicit attitudes can result in implicit behavior, regardless of the explicit attitude? What does this mean for advertising?
- Less touching of black confederate hands (when sharing a pen)
- Sit farther away from a black confederate
- Being less friendly to a black confederate
- Less eye contact and more blinking
- Explicit measures might not pick up on effect of advertising (e.g., reluctance to admit influence or don’t know)
- Explicit attitude might be different from implicit attitude (relevant for strategy: goal could be to resolve mismatch before anything else)
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
How does the saying "attitudes are likely not unitary" fit with the dual attitudes theory?
- “Old” attitude (more often implicit)
- “New” attitude (more often explicit)
What are two opposing views on attitudes being context dependent or stable?
- File-drawer model: Attitudes are learned and retrieved from LTM and therefore stable
- Attitudes-as-constructions-theory: attitudes are not necessarily enduring but are constructed "online"
What is the role of attitude strength in terms of attitude stability or context dependency?
- Weak attitude: more likely to be constructed online (attitudes-as-constructions-theory)
- Strong attitude (file-drawer model): more likely to be retrieved
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
