当前态度研究中最具争议的问题之一是态度属性的潜在结构与强度的关系。进行了四项研究，以探讨两个强度相关的属性（重要性和可及性）是否受到各种操作的相同影响（这表明它们反映了一个潜在的构念），以及属性是否相互导致（这表明它们是不同的构念）。三个实验室实验和一项调查研究表明：(a)重复表达和个人关联操作对重要性和可达性有不同的影响，(b)重要性的增加会导致可达性的提高。因此，这两个态度属性似乎构成了相关但独立的构念。因此，这些研究有助于阐明态度力量的本质及其来源的相互作用。
One of the most significant current controversies in the attitude literature involves the latent structure of attitude attributes related to their strength. Four studies were conducted to explore whether 2 strength-related attributes (importance and accessibility) are affected identically by various manipulations (which would suggest that they reflect a single latent construct) and whether the attributes cause one another (which would suggest they are distinct constructs). Three laboratory experiments and I survey study show that (a) repeated expression and personal relevance manipulations have different effects on importance and accessibility and (b) increased importance can cause heightened accessibility. Thus, these 2 attitude attributes appear to constitute related but independent constructs. These studies therefore help to illuminate the nature of attitude strength and the interplay of its sources.
