Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The situation in which the attitude may or may not be expressed can greatly influence the expression of an attitude. For example, someone may hold an attitude that discrimination is wrong, but in a situation where all their friends are making discriminatory comments, they may not express this attitude in order to fit in socially. Similarly, a person may hold an attitude that littering is bad, but may not express this attitude if they see others littering around them. Thus, the situation can change how an attitude is expressed.
