Description

Prominent psychology research indicates an attitude is composed of three separate components, cognitive, affective and behavioral. This research considers the individual effect of each of these attitudinal components on a specific behavior, information sharing. Using conceptually and empirically supported scenario vignettes, as well as self-reported and computer recorded behavior, the relationship between the cognitive component of information sharing attitudes and actual information sharing behavior is supported.
