A: self-perception theory doesn't address
the effects that our
behaviors have on our expressed opinions
Incorrect.
Self-perception is defined by Myers (pg 157) as "the
theory that when unsure of our attitudes, we infer them much as would someone
observing us-- by looking at our behavior and the circumstances under which
it occurs." Choice A is incorrect, because self-perception does
address the effects that our behaviors have on our expressed opinions.
Self-perceptions states that we use our behaviors, which are easily observable
to the individual, to infer our attitudes, which are not observable to
the individual. Because both self perception and dissonance
do account for the effects that our behaviors have on our expressed opinions,
choice A is incorrect.
