Attitude describes how people consistently think, feel and
behave towards a particular subject. It can be broken down
into four components:
1. Cognitive
2. Affective
3. Evaluative
4. Conative
Behavior is an action. It is how the person acts or reacts to any given
circumstance. Note: The link from behavior change to attitude
change is stronger than attitude change to behavior change.

The Four Elements of Behavior
Trust
your
gut
COMMUNICATION
We should be aware that
the information we think is
exchanged, often is diluted,
distorted and
misunderstood, if it is
received at all.
MEMORY
Ability to learn varies from
person-to- person.
Differences exist in our
aptitude and the way we
comprehend, process and
store the information.
INTUITION
Makes us react
automatically to common
situations. Our subconsciousness provides the
solutions for these situations
the moment we need them.
PERCEPTION
The difference
between thought and
action or saying and
doing is perception.
How to Change Behaviors
Behavior-based safety,
focuses on the identification
and modification of critical
safety behaviors to address
underlying elements of the
behavior.
Culture-based approach,
emphasizes the more fundamental
importance of the organization's
safety culture and climate.

Social marketing theory suggests that an
exchange takes place between the
target audience (i.e., the worker) and the
marketer (i.e., an industry group, or a
major employer).
Social marketing recognizes that
information alone does not change
behaviors
Social marketing focuses on target
audiences, including their needs, wants,
and motivators
Social marketing focuses on making
behaviors easy, fun, and popular!

car windshields facing the interior, urging drivers not
to speed near schools

Approach 1: BBS with Social Marketing
Safety ‘products’
include the benefits of
safe behavior. The
major benefit of safe
behavior is greater
quality of life, both
inside and outside of
work.
The ‘price’ of
adhering to a
particular safety
practice.
demonstrate the
value of safety, so
that the ‘price’ paid
seems worth the
safety that is being
gained.
The workplace is the
‘place’ where they are
most likely to enact
safety behavior. The
‘benefits’ of safe
behavior extend into
their private lives by
enhancing their
quality of life outside
of work.
