This book summarizes significant empirical and theoretical work performed as part of a large-scale, cross-university research project concerning the relationship between attitudes and behavior. The contributions are more than just a compilation of research results. Rather, they are original syntheses of fresh empirical findings and an up-to-date exposition of the entire program of current work. Attitudes and Behavioral Decisions emphasizes the cognitive processes and cognitive structures that predispose a person's behavior, that accompany behavior, or that change as a result of prior behavior.
