Answer: draw a conclusion on their thoughts and feeling from their behavior.

Explanation:

Self perception theory, by Daryl Bem explains the way attitudes are formed in people. Imagine that you are experiencing a situation for the first time and you don't know why it happened or the reaction to the situation. This theory suggests that you will try to understand it by looking at your behavior. Following this theory, how an individual feels is a result of their behavior. If you smile while you are angry, you are more likely to cheer up than if you frown.
