The Question : What is cognitive dissonance? Give an example.
Solution for the question :
It emphasizes that the cognitive components of an attitude must be ‘consonant’ (opposite of ‘dissonant’), i.e., they should be logically in line with each other.
If an individual finds that two cognitions in an attitude are dissonant, then one of them will be changed in the direction of consonance.
