Answer:

The attitudes-follow-behavior principle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The attitudes-follow-behavior principle: The attitude-follow-behavior principle is defined as an individual can't control his or her feelings directly yet he or she can influence the feelings by changing or altering a particular behavior.

According to this principle, the more an individual feels dissonance i.e, the conflicts between thoughts and behavior the more he or she is directed towards finding a consistency, for example, changing one's attitude or behavior to explain certain acts.

In the question above, Chan is likely to change his negative attitude towards the work through the attitude-follow-behavior principle.
