Attitudes are definitely different from behavior.
Attitudes are precursors to behavior- they define the nature and direction of behavior. Example: If you have a positive attitude towards me, your behavior would also be of a positive nature and vice versa. customer attitude surveys are conducted by companies to predict buyer behavior.
Behavior on the other hand, is the perceptible output of your personality influenced by your beliefs, values and attitudes.
I hope I am clear enough to you.

A very good Question must say, I too was bitten by this Bug a few years ago and now when you asked the question I seam to have the answer for myself at least
Attitude or Approach, Outlook, stance whatever you call it hear is how it works
Now let’s take this Example, If I were to look at the world through a Green Glass (Acting as a Filter) Everything would appear green to me, If Someone were dress in white they* appears Green to me Coz that’s the way I look at my World and my “Behavior” to a Great extent would be based on how “I” Look at things.
A few basic Factors That Controls Behavior
1) Instincts (What Comes Naturally)
2) Social and Cultural Influences
3) Beliefs
4) Genetics
5) Experience
6) “Attitude” which could be a Result of 1,2,3 & 4
All these against a Scenario the individual is subjected to
If a Stranger were to Slap Me How would I react?
I would Kick the Living Daylights Out of that person, I WOULD NOT ask why first, I wouldn’t Forgive, I wouldn’t Let it Go even if I couldn’t Put up a Fight
But, how would Gandhi have reacted?
And now ask yourself why? Follow the “Behavior” Backwards…..
This the Best Possible way I could put the point across!

Broadly speaking,
Your Attitude is the way you perceive the thing, situation or circumstances.
Your Behaviour is the way you react to those things, situations and circumstances.
Hope this will help.

Hi Meenu,
"Attitude" could broadly de defined as judgements concerning objects, people or events.
Attitude has
- Belief Component
- Emotional/Feeling Component &
- Behavioral Component- Intention of behaving in a particular dimension
Attitude shapes an individual's behavior.
For eg
Person with a positive attitude towards "Initiative" may hold a belief that taking initiatives to take on additional responsibilities add more learning and in turn enhances worth of an individual.
In terms of behavior, such person would be seen as taking on more responsibilities and would be perceived as "Having positive attitude towards work and shouldering additional responsibilities".
Hope this helps.
