Aşağıdaki paragrafta ne anlatılıyor açıklar mısınız?Özellikle attitude ile behaviour arasındaki fark nedir?Teşekkürler
The assumption that a person’s attitudes determine
his or her behaviour is deeply ingrained in Western
thinking, and in many instances the assumption
holds. However, research has shown that the
relationship between attitudes and behaviour is
complex. A classic study conducted during the 1930s
was the first to question the link. A white professor
travelled across the US with a young Chinese
couple. At that time, there was quite strong prejudice
against Asians, and there were no laws against racial
discrimination. The three travellers stopped at over
200 hotels, motels and restaurants, and were served
at all the restaurants and all but one of the hotels and
motels without problem. Later, a letter was sent to all
of the establishments visited, asking them whether or
not they would accept a Chinese couple as guests.
Of the 128 replies received, 92 per cent said they
would not. In other words, these proprietors
expressed attitudes that were much more prejudiced
than their behaviour.
81. One understands from the passage that the link
between attitudes and behaviour ----.
A) had already been established before the 1930s
B) has always been a major topic of psychological
research
C) has aroused a great deal of controversy in the
US
D) is an area which has been neglected and,
indeed, deserves fresh study
E) is not so definite as has been generally assumed
82. As one concludes from the passage, racial
discrimination ----.
A) is the way whereby the relationship between
attitudes and behaviour can best be assessed
B) has always been a major issue in the US and
cannot be eradicated
C) was a problem of the 1930s in the US, but has
now disappeared altogether
D) in the US and the rest of the world can be fought
most effectively through legislation
E) was not practised by a great majority of the
proprietors visited by the professor and his
Chinese companions
83. It is pointed out in the passage that, during their
travels, the professor and the Chinese couple ----.
A) were often harassed by the proprietors
B) were doing research to find out whether a
person’s behaviour affects his or her attitudes
C) encountered discriminatory behaviour only on
one occasion
D) were not upset at all by the proprietors’ racist
attitudes
E) were extremely surprised by the proprietors’
prejudice against them
84. The point has been made in the passage that the
American people ----.
A) have always been remarkably hospitable to
Asians visiting America
B) in the 1930s really did dislike Asians
C) have waged war against racial discrimination
since the 1930s
D) and the Asians have always discriminated
against each other
E) always do their best to provide comfort for their
guests, no matter what their racial background
85. It is clear from the passage that the replies the
professor received from the proprietors to whom
he sent letters ----.
A) revealed a strong attitude of racial discrimination
against the Chinese
B) could not be regarded as an indication of
prevalent racism in the US
C) were not concerned with the interrelationship
between one’s attitudes and behaviour
D) were confined only to a very small part of the US
E) clearly showed why one’s attitudes determine
one’s behaviour
