According to the authors of your text, one key factor is knowing whether the behavior in question is:A. positive or negativeB. spontaneous or deliberate C. easy or difficultD. a current or future behavior

B. spontaneous or deliberate

Explanation:

Social psychologists have found that attitudes do predict behavior, but only under certain specifiable conditions. According to the authors of your text, one key factor is knowing whether the behavior in question is spontaneous or deliberate. Psychologist suggest that a spontaneous behavior is more reflective of an individuals attitude compared to a deliberate behavior which has undergone processing before it's expression. Hence, predicting an individuals behavior from his attitude is hinged on clearly differentiating spontaneous behavior from deliberate behavior.
