Changes in Attitudes, Intentions, and Behavior as a Function of Past Behavior and Spontaneous Cognitions: Study 3

Behavior-
Consistent
Cognitions
Behavior-
Inconsistent
Cognitions
Attitudes at Time 1
    High condom use behavior 2.25 0.57
    Low condom use behavior 0.64 −0.99
Attitude change
    High condom use behavior 0.13 −1.34a
    Low condom use behavior −0.05 0.20a
Intention change
    High condom use behavior −0.60a −1.20a
    Low condom use behavior −0.18 0.41a
Behavior change
    High condom use behavior −0.87a −1.00a
    Low condom use behavior 0.08 0.41a

NOTE: High and low condom use behavior represent cells with high and low frequency of past condom use. Behavior-consistent cognitions pertain to participants with predominantly negative beliefs when their condom use behavior was low and with predominantly positive beliefs when their condom use behavior was high. Behavior-inconsistent cognitions pertain to participants with predominantly positive beliefs when their condom use behavior was low and with predominantly negative beliefs when their condom use behavior was high.
