Explicit attitudes influence our behavior when we are monitoring our behavior, as we are consciously aware of our attitudes and are more likely to act according to them. Implicit attitudes, on the other hand, influence our behavior when we are not monitoring our behavior, as they are unconscious and automatic processes that can shape our behavior without us realizing it. Therefore, when we are not actively thinking about our attitudes and behavior, our implicit attitudes can have a greater impact on our actions.
