Fazio's research focuses on the impact of attitudes on behavior, which would be relevant to why Jacque called the driver a name when he got angry. Fishbein and Ajzen's research focuses on the Theory of Reasoned Action, which is more relevant to understanding why Jacque decided to start an exercise program. Festinger's research focused on Cognitive Dissonance, which is not directly relevant to either of Jacque's behaviors. Chaiken's research focused on the elaboration likelihood model, which is more relevant to persuasion and attitude change rather than behavior. Cacioppo's research focuses on social neuroscience and is not directly relevant to either of Jacque's behaviors.
