attitude specificity
The more specific an attitude, the more likely it is to predict behaviour. Your attitude towards drug use will not predict how much coffee you drink but your attitude toward coffee would better predict this.
Attitude specificity refers to the degree to which an attitude is focused on a particular object or situation rather than being more general. When an attitude is specific, it is narrowly focused on a particular aspect of an object or situation, and may not apply to other aspects.
For example, a person may have a positive attitude towards a particular brand of soda, but they may not necessarily have a positive attitude towards all brands of soda. This would be an example of a specific attitude.
In contrast, a general attitude would be a more overarching and inclusive belief that applies across a wide range of situations. For example, a person may hold the general attitude that exercise is important for overall health and well-being, which would apply to a variety of situations and contexts.
The level of attitude specificity can influence how strongly a person holds that attitude, and how much it is likely to predict their behavior. Specific attitudes may be stronger predictors of behavior in situations that closely match the object of the attitude, while more general attitudes may be weaker predictors of behavior but more stable across different situations.
