Question

Cassie often tells her friends that males and females should equally share parental responsibilities, but she unconsciously feels that women are better parents. Even though she’s not aware of it, this causes Cassie to work harder at being a good stay-at-home mother. It seems that Cassie’s behavior is being influenced by __________ about the roles that women have in the family.

Answer 1

Implicit attitude

Explanation:

An implicit attitude is an attitude that shows the connection between the memory of thought towards an object. For instance some pleasant experience about the memories of staying in a park at noon. There in the example, the pleasant feelings are associated with the experience in the park. These feelings are automatically activated when we encountered any objects.

Thus here in the above statement, Cassie's behavior is influenced by the implicit attitude towards the objects.
