Self-perception theory posits that we infer our attitudes and beliefs based on our behaviors, particularly when we are uncertain or do not have a strong prior attitude towards something. In other words, we look to our actions to understand what we think or feel about a particular situation or object. This is different from cognitive dissonance theory, which suggests that we experience discomfort or dissonance when our attitudes and behaviors are inconsistent and may change our attitudes to reduce this discomfort.
