| summary | The scientific study of attitudes typically treats attitudes individualistically. There are individual attitudes (e.g., preference for burritos) that vary in strength (e.g., central to the self), resistance to change (e.g., unwavering in the face of dietary information), and their relationship with relevant behaviors (e.g., purchasing of burritos). This approach misses a key property of attitudes: Attitudes are interdependent. In this talk, I focus on recent research from my lab that studies how attitudes are depend on other attitudes, identities, and values within a belief system. We find that (1) people’s political identities (e.g., as a leftist) are particularly central to societal belief systems and to the belief systems of individuals, (2) central attitudes are more stable overtime and respond differently to persuasive messages, and (3) the structure of belief systems has implications for the longevity of attitude change. These findings suggest that the interdependence of attitudes matters. |
