Discussion
Changing people's attitude to sport is explained by theoretical approaches of :
(I) Cognitive theory
(II) Social learning theory
(III) Self-perception theory
(IV) Operant conditioning theory
Find the correct combination :
Answer: D
The key's answer is (I) cognitive theory and (III) self-perception theory.
Cognitive approaches, such as cognitive dissonance, explain attitude change as the person's effort to remove an inconsistency between beliefs, feelings and behaviour: when one part of an attitude is changed, the others move to match. Bem's self-perception theory says people infer their attitudes from watching their own behaviour, so a changed way of acting can change the attitude.
Social learning theory is more often cited for how attitudes are acquired by imitating role models, and operant conditioning for shaping behaviour by reward and punishment, so the key does not pair them. Sources on attitude change in sport do not separate the theories sharply, and I could not find the paper's own source, so this rests on the key.
