Exploring Cognitive Dissonance

The decision is the history of humanity, progress and the foundation of modern society. Important decisions usually cause inconsistency inside a person. Because he or she tries to make a choice based on what he thinks is right and thinks it is wise. Everywhere in life and society, people find themselves at the intersection of faith and thought and have reasons for murder. This is due to the discord that is explained when they are confused about the idea of ​​killing others, but this seems inevitably inevitable.

Many experiments are exploring cognitive dissonance by having people take responsibility for behaviors that are inconsistent with anticipated results. If you are participating in one of these experiments, the researcher may agree to use 2 dollars to help write a paper supporting incredible things (perhaps a rise in tuition fees) . If you think the responsible person will read your article, it is responsible for the statement (contradicting your attitude), you may feel discord. How can I reduce discomfort and disharmony? One way is to start believing in your wrong words. Your pretense will be your reality

In the 1950s, social psychologist Leon Festinger studied cognitive dissonance in the observational study of the first final judgment cult. Festinger explains cognitive dissonance as discomfort of two contradictory ideas. In the face of inconsistent evidence, faith becomes more permanent. Cults are extreme examples of everyday phenomena. Even if you should work before the project deadline, you think you will also experience cognitive dissonance if you think you can not stop the carnival of YouTube videos. The degree of cognitive disharmony is directly related to your importance to faith

Cognitive dissonance occurs when "Your thoughts, beliefs, or actions are in conflict."

Cognitive dissonance pressure is driving your actions when you review the review and price to convince you that this is a clever purchase after you purchased a new computer. You can return $ 400 shoes, or you can keep them and they can tell them they are handmade in Italy and must be present for the next few years. You can search and search until you find a better computer at a better price, or you can change your beliefs This is a good investment You no longer need to worry about the program crash That is not it.
