Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour states that attitudes interact with situational norms and perceived behavioural control to shape our intentions and subsequent behaviour. While Greg may hold a strong attitude against sexist jokes causing indirect harm to women, his behaviour around his friends may be influenced by the situational norm of fitting in with the group and not wanting to be the odd one out. This is a common occurrence and does not necessarily reflect a personality disorder or insincerity.
