Individual Differences in Attitude Structure and the Accessibility of the Affective and Cognitive Components of Attitude
Social Cognition, 2006Co-Authors: Thomas L H Huskinson, Geoffrey HaddockAbstract:Research has demonstrated that some individuals possess Attitudes that are highly consistent with both their feelings and beliefs, whereas other individuals possess Attitudes that are less consistent with these sources of information (Haddock & Huskinson, 2004). The current research investigated whether individuals with strongly versus weakly Structured Attitudes differ in the accessibility of their affective and cognitive responses. In two experiments, participants provided timed affective and cognitive judgments toward different Attitude objects. Overall, individuals with highly Structured Attitudes provided faster affective and cognitive attitudinal responses. Affective responses were also made more quickly than cognitive responses. Two additional experiments ruled out the possibility of a generalized response latency advantage for individuals with highly Structured Attitudes. The results speak to the importance of considering individual differences in how people organize their Attitudes, as well as the distinction between the affective and cognitive components of Attitude.

individual differences in Attitude Structure variance in the chronic reliance on affective and cognitive information
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2004Co-Authors: Thomas L H Huskinson, Geoffrey HaddockAbstract:Two studies examined the proclivity of individual differences in Attitude Structure. Study 1 found considerable variation across individuals in the degree to which their Attitudes were correlated with the favorability of their affective and cognitive responses. Study 1 also revealed that such variation was associated with individual differences in the Need for Affect (Maio & Esses, 2001) and the Need to Evaluate (Jarvis & Petty, 1996). Study 2 explored one outcome associated with individual differences in Attitude Structure. This study found that an affect-based appeal was more persuasive among individuals with affective (as compared to cognitive) Attitudes, and that individuals with cognitive Attitudes were more persuaded by a cognitive (as compared to affective) appeal. The findings are discussed in relation to the important roles of affective and cognitive information in guiding Attitudes (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993; Zanna & Rempel, 1988).

a general connectionist model of Attitude Structure and change the acs Attitudes as constraint satisfaction model
Psychological Review, 2008Co-Authors: Brian M Monroe, Stephen J ReadAbstract:A localist, parallel constraint satisfaction, artificial neural network model is presented that accounts for a broad collection of Attitude and Attitude-change phenomena. The network represents the Attitude object and cognitions and beliefs related to the Attitude, as well as how to integrate a persuasive message into this network. Short-term effects are modeled by activation patterns due to parallel constraint satisfaction processes, and long-term effects are modeled by weight changes due to the settling patterns of activation. Phenomena modeled include thought-induced Attitude polarization, elaboration and Attitude strength, motivated reasoning and social influence, an integrated view of heuristic versus systematic persuasion, and implicit versus explicit Attitude change. Results of the simulations are consistent with empirical results. The same set of simple mechanisms is used to model all the phenomena, which allows the model to offer a parsimonious theoretical account of how Structure can impact Attitude change. This model is compared with previous computational approaches to Attitudes, and implications for Attitude research are discussed.

feeling conflicted and seeking information when ambivalence enhances and diminishes selective exposure to Attitude consistent information
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2013Co-Authors: Vanessa Sawicki, Duane T Wegener, Jason K Clark, Leandre R Fabrigar, Steven M Smith, Geoffrey R O DursoAbstract:To date, little research has examined the impact of attitudinal ambivalence on Attitude-congruent selective exposure. Past research would suggest that strong/univalent rather than weak/ambivalent Attitudes should be more predictive of proattitudinal information seeking. Although ambivalent Attitude Structure might weaken the Attitude’s effect on seeking proattitudinal information, we believe that conflicted Attitudes might also motivate Attitude-congruent selective exposure because proattitudinal information should be effective in reducing ambivalence. Two studies provide evidence that the effects of ambivalence on information choices depend on amount of issue knowledge. That is, ambivalence motivates Attitude-consistent exposure when issue knowledge is relatively low because less familiar information is perceived to be effective at reducing ambivalence. Conversely, when knowledge is relatively high, more unambivalent (univalent) Attitudes predicted Attitude-consistent information seeking.

Attitude Structure and belief accessibility
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 1991Co-Authors: Roger Tourangeau, Kenneth A Rasinski, Roy G DandradeAbstract:Abstract This article examines the Structure of beliefs about abortion and welfare. For each issue, a sample of respondents indicated their agreement with statements about the issues and sorted the statements into groups based on their similarity. These data were used to measure the relations among the statements. For both issues, the sort data revealed a number of topical clusters, while the agreement data revealed a single underlying dimension. The main study examined which belief Structures were apparent when respondents answered Attitude questions based on the statements in the scaling studies. Respondents were timed as they answered Attitude questions about abortion and welfare; responses to agree/disagree items were faster when an item followed another item from the same topical cluster. The distance between successive items on the pro-con dimension affected reaction times for the welfare items but not the items on abortion. We argue that Attitudes are Structures in long-term memory that encompass linked beliefs about an issue, that the retrieval of beliefs is a component of the process of responding to Attitude items, and that retrieving beliefs relevant to one question can activate linked beliefs and thereby facilitate answers to related questions.
