The article introduces a computer-based method of measurement of the behavioral aspect of attitudes. It is obtained by simulation of behavior, in which reactions do not evoke consequences in real world, but show only „where we are pulled". As an assessment of the behavioral tendency, distances on a computer screen between representations of the Self and objects of attitude were adopted. Data collected from 7 tests confirm the validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, expected factorial structure and prognostic properties. Ease of use of the method makes it useful for research in a wide range of milieus, including other cultures.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the Approach-Avoidance Simulation method outlining the behavioral tendency towards the representation of chosen objects can portray an evaluation undetectable in explicit attitudes. The assumption that overweight persons approach more strongly the representation of food than persons in the norm of a scale and that persons suffering from anorexia avoid representation of food was confirmed. Similarly overweight persons were headed more strongly for the representation of slim but not emaciated body than persons in the norm of a scale, whereas persons suffering from anorexia were avoiding such a silhouette. The explicit attitude showed the weakest preference of the slim body in the group of overweight persons and the strongest amongst persons suffering from anorexia. The incremental validity of behavioral tendency in the prediction of pertaining to the groups with eating disorders was also demonstrated.
