In fact attitude reflects personal factors. Attitude is a
predisposition to act in a certain way. It is the state of
readiness that influences a person to act in a given manner
(Rahman et al., 1999). Therefore, attitude surveys in
agriculture could lead to a more adequate explanation and
prediction of farmers’ economic behavior and have been
used on conservation and environmentally related issues
focusing on the influence of attitude variables as
predictors of conservation behavior (Dimara and
Skuras, 1999). Dimara and Skuras (1999) concluded from
their research that a significant relationship was found
between behavior and the goals and intentions of farmers.
This relationship is even stronger when statements on
attitudes, social norms and perceived behavioral control
are included (Bergevoet et al., 2004). Investigators have
taken four different positions concerning causal
relationships between attitudes and behaviors: attitudes
cause behaviors; behaviors cause attitudes; attitudes and
behavior have mutual causal impact; and attitudes and
behaviors are slightly, if at all related (Bentler and
Speckart, 1981).
