AbstractTo investigate the relationship between implicit psychological hypotheses and explicit empirical findings, summaries of twenty published studies on attitude‐behaviour consistency were presented to a sample of forty‐eight psychology undergraduates.

Correlations between subjects' covariation judgements and empirically obtained attitude‐behaviour consistencies were minimal and nonsignificant. Results are discussed in the light of more recent research on attitude‐behaviour relat
