Attitude and behavior
are closely related in some sense though they are two different concepts. One
of the most important differences between behavior and attitude is that
attitude is internal whereas behavior is external in sense. In other words it can be said that
behavior can very well be seen by others as it is external whereas attitude is shelled
within the mind of the individual and hence cannot be seen by others
immediately.
It can be say that
attitude is what you think whereas behavior is what you do. In other words it
can be said that attitude has to do with the mind whereas behavior has a lot to
do with actions.
Attitude is
thought-oriented whereas behavior is action-oriented. Hence attitude has all
the power to shape the behavior of a person. It is indeed true that a person
with the right attitude would be endowed with the right behavior too.
Attitude is all about
the opinion somebody has about something in life. Behavior is about how one
responds to the impulsions and the pulls of the environment.
It is indeed possible to
judge one’s attitude through one’s behavior though attitude is not visible
externally. One can say that one’s friend has a good attitude towards life. It
is evident from the person’s behavior. Hence attitude and behavior are related
in some sense though they are two different concepts.
The response of an
individual or a system to the environmental pulls is what is called behavior.
Attitude is also a kind of response in the sense that it is a response from
within to the deep consciousness.
There is no external
implication of the internal feeling in the concept of attitude. The feeling is
kept well within the individual. On the other hand the feeling is poured out in
behavior. It is for sure that behavior and attitude are the two dimensions of
an individual.
