In a 2 × 2 experiment, the influence of attitude relevance and behaviour relevance on attitude‐behaviour relationship was examined. The highest attitude‐behaviour correlation was found in the situation where no external factor made relevant neither attitude nor behaviour, while the lowest correlation was found in the situation where both attitude and behaviour were made relevant.
