“…Attitude indicates a person's general feeling of favourableness or unfavourableness towards a particular issue (Olson & Kendrick, 2012). A plethora of studies evidenced that attitude is a significant determinant and predictor of proenvironmental behaviours (Zhao, Gao, Wu, Wang & Zhu, 2013;Cho, Thyroff, Rapert, Park & Lee, 2012;Zhang & Lei, 2012;Carrington, Neville & Whitwell, 2010;Cornelissen, Pandelaere, Warlop & Dewitte, 2008).…”

A great deal of evident environmental awareness, concerns and consciousness are pre-cursors to pro-environment behaviour adoption. However, the behaviour has not been sustained, where various symptoms, such as licensing and rebound effects, signify that pro-environmental behaviours are not sustained in different spatial and temporal dimensions. This study aims to expand the knowledge domain by examining the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic factors in sustaining the consistency of attitude-sustainable behaviours relations.

“…Historically, the most prominent of the attitude theories has been the tripartite approach, which encompasses emotion, cognition and behaviour. Cognitive origins [7] encompass processes such as a person developing positive or negative connotations about an object through gaining knowledge. Attitudes may also be formed from the emotional reactions are experienced when exposed to an object.…”

ResearchBackground. Universities worldwide are required to increase their levels of research productivity.Objective. To bring about positive changes in research perspectives if the factors contributing to the attitude of undergraduate optometry students can be identified, enhanced and rectified. Methods. Three nominal group technique (NGT) discussions were conducted with 22 final-year (4th-year) optometry students in central South Africa (SA) to reach consensus on the most important factors that students regarded as influencing their undergraduate research experiences. Data gathering and analysis took place simultaneously, while participants prioritised the data. Data were analysed by in vivo coding, and categories were grouped according to themes that emerged from the codes. Results. Ranking and content analysis of coded statements yielded positive and negative categories, as well as categories with mixed codes. The major factor influencing students' attitudes towards research was administration and the time-consuming nature of their research projects. Recommendations for more effective administration are given. Conclusions. It was concluded that active steps should be taken by the Department of Optometry, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, SA, to alter and minimise negative aspects encountered by the students, which could assist future students' experiences of research at undergraduate level.This open-access article is distributed under Creative Commons licence CC-BY-NC 4.0.

“…While there has been variation in the scholarly definition of attitudes through decades of research, the general consensus in contemporary scholarship is that an attitude is an individual's learned tendency to evaluate an object with some degree of positive or negative expression (Ajzen and Fishbein 2000;Eagly and Chaiken 1993;Martinez et al 2005;Craig et al 2003;Olson and Kendrick 2012). Early research on attitudes treated them as unidimensional, bipolar constructs (Thompson et al 1995).…”

“…In contrast to the unidimensional model of attitudes of early research, the preeminent model in contemporary psychology and political science literature is the tripartite approach (Michael et al 2004;Olson and Kendrick 2012;Thompson et al 1995).…”

“…For instance, Krosnick and colleagues (Krosnick et al 1993) conducted a study based on the prior findings of Raden (1985) finding low to moderate positive correlations between dimensions of attitude strength indicating these dimensions did not represent a unidimensional strength. These dimensions, or attitude attributes, often interact with one another in complex ways (Olson and Kendrick 2012). One such way, these dimensions of attitude strength may interact with behaviors, like decision-making, is through the degree to which one's attitude is ambivalent.…”

I would like to thank my entire thesis committee for the incredible patience and for their encouragement throughout this process. I would also like to thank the entire Department of Political Science at the University of Louisville. The instruction and encouragement I have received throughout my time at the University of Louisville has been exceptional and personally valuable. Finally, I would like to thank the Gainous family for their immeasurable kindness and patience throughout the entirety of this process.
