Considerable research suggests the relevance of vested interest for attitude-behavior consistency. Conversely, symbolic politics theory holds that self-interest is irrelevant for attitude valence and related attitude phenomena. Rather, attitudes acquired early in life generalize to other issues and motivate actions, even actions contrary to self-interest. The present research replicates and extends the findings of an earlier symbolic politics study (DO Sears, CP Hensler, & LK Speer, 1979) on the mandated busing of school children (N> 1, 300). Analysis of the archival data revealed that vested interest is a significant moderator of (racial) attitude–criterion consistency and of attitude–behavior consistency as well. The results are taken as supportive of both the vested interest and the symbolic politics orientations and form the basis of a position that suggests both schools of thought can coexist.
