The phrase "attitude theory" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to psychology, sociology, or behavioral studies when discussing the framework or model that explains how attitudes influence behavior.
Example: "According to attitude theory, individuals are more likely to act in accordance with their beliefs and feelings about a subject."
Alternatives: "theory of attitudes" or "attitudinal theory".
The Israeli-Palestinian peace process and its vicissitudes - insights from attitude theory.
Combining attitude theory and segmentation analysis allows researchers and managers to identify specific types of visitor groups for targeted marketing campaigns in the context of nature tourism.
This study demonstrates the utility of combining segmentation analysis and attitude theory to inform messaging for travel information sources, such as intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies.
To that end, we propose a dual conceptualization of professional skepticism as both a mindset and an attitude, and we rely on mindset and attitude theory to develop measures of each component.
Issues of semantics aside, it will be helpful to differentiate the buck-passing account from the fitting attitude theory of value.
According to the most straightforward and ambitious form of the fitting attitude theory of value, to be valuable is to be the fitting object of some evaluative attitude.
(For further discussion, see also the entry on Fitting Attitude Theories of Value).
Fitting attitude theories hold that for something to be valuable is for it to merit some relevant evaluative attitude.
I will term these broadest and most ambitious forms of the view generic fitting attitude theories of value.
This illustrates why it is not trivial to characterize fitting attitude theories of value in terms of attitudes deemed to be fitting that is, via response-dependency and normative reduction.
Although I will contend that Scanlon's view is committed only to normative reduction, and hence is not an FA theory, the literature has tended to assimilate buck passing accounts with fitting attitude theories.
