Cognitive Dissonance
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!!
Do not worry!Cognitive dissonance theory is based on a principal that an individual has cognitive knowledge about themselves, their attitudes, and their environment.
Like domino’s
If one cognitive element follows another they are described as consonant.
Dissonance Dissonance occurs when we experience incompatible beliefs or actions and is marked by inconsistency. When mental discomfort (dissonance) is high we are motivated to change behavior or actions to make things more comfortable.
It is important to remember
Cognitive dissonance has a meaningful impact on the way we communicate with and interact with others. Leveraged productively it can lead to enhanced educational opportunities and healthier lifestyles.
The END!!
