A: self-perception theory doesn't address
the effects that our
behaviors have on our expressed opinions
Incorrect.
Self-perception is defined by Myers (pg 157) as "the
theory that when unsure of our attitudes, we infer them much as would someone
observing us-- by looking at our behavior and the circumstances under which
it occurs." Choice A is incorrect, because self-perception does address
the effects that our behaviors have on our expressed opinions. Self-perceptions
states that we use our behaviors, which are easily observable to the individual,
to infer our attitudes, which are not observable to the individual.
According to Self-perception theory, an expressed opinion comes from an
attitude, which in turn comes from observing one's own behavior.
Since both self perception and dissonance do account for the effects that
our behaviors have on our expressed opinions, choice A is incorrect.
