Document Summary

Carver sample study questions for test 4 4. Predisposition to react in a particular way to some class of objects, people, and events. Not all beliefs are attitudes because some lack the positive or negative affect. State the 2-component and 3-component definitions of attitudes. 2- component: affective and cognitive, 3-component: affective, cognitive, and behavioral. Classical conditioning, mere exposure, and imitation of others. Name 3 classes of variables that influence persuasion. Name one variable from each class and state its influence. Message variable- repetition, explicitness, 1 sided vs 2 sided, message quality. Dissonance is presumed to be aversive, creates drive state, creates instability and there is pressure to reduce conflict among elements. Unpleasant and motivated to get rid of it when it exists. Add pluses to side you chose, add minuses to other side. In this theory, what happens when a person makes a difficult decision? (what goes on before the decision, right after the decision, what happens eventually, and why?)
