Even though we may have a strong positive or negative attitude about something or someone, behavior intention does not necessarily predict our behavior. As stated in the textbook, what two elements may intervene? Give an example.

Behavior Intention

Refers to an individual's plan or likelihood of carrying out a specific behavior based on attitudes, norms, and control over the behavior.

Predict Behavior

Final Answer :
Social norms and behavioral controls may intervene. These may stop us from carrying out our intended action. For example, social norms say I should not confront my boss and the relevant behavioral control is that I might get fired if I confront my boss.
