Attitude & Behavior development: Morals are the fundamental part of the person's attitude. Morality is learned from examples set by our parents and society.
Morality is largely shaped by parents. Children imitate their parents and gain their morality from the morality of their parents. If parents try to teach their child one thing, but do another, the child will more likely copy the actual behavior of its parents; another base of attitude and behavior that is acquired from a person's
social environment is morality. It is a Freudian belief that the morality of a person is shaped by society. However, other beliefs, such as those of many religions, proclaim that morality is instilled in people by a god or gods.Attitude & Behavior change: Attitude and behavior change with experiences and disagreement with others; while, Moral also change when your behavior goes against them. Since attitude and behavior are not the same thing, a person may offer a reason even if he or she does not believe it. This might be done so others will think that all is well and he or she would not have to show the dissonance in their outer behavior. However, the dissonance is still present and his or her attitude must change in a different way in order to remove this dissonance. This may take the form of a simple resolution, and the person's opinion of the other person may change, even though he or she does not show it in their behavior. Plus, The dissonance between attitude and behavior also explains why a person that continues to behave against his or her morals will find that the morals become weaker because his or her attitude toward that behavior is no longer strongly opposed to it.

When a person's attitude and behavior differ, dissonance will likely result, and a change in attitude or behavior will be the probable outcome.
