attitude strength

the extent to which an attitude persists over time, resists change, influences information processing, and guides behavior. Strong attitudes possess all four of these defining features, whereas weak attitudes lack them. A number of attitude properties have been shown to be predictors of an attitude’s strength, including attitude accessibility, ambivalence of an attitude, and centrality of an attitude, among others.
