Question

Although quan believes that child safety is important, he often forgets to use a car seat when taking his toddler to day care. what does this best illustrate about the relationship between attitudes and behavior?

Answer 1

This tends to demonstrate that we underestimate the importance of our own behaviors while overestimating the importance of others' behaviors. We tend to hold attitudes and beliefs that are at odds with how we act, if even unconsciously. We might hold a certain set of ideals dear, but act in ways that contradict them.
