A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance

Book • 1957
In this book, Leon Festinger introduces his influential theory of cognitive dissonance, which describes the mental discomfort people experience when they hold two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes.

The theory explains how individuals seek consistency in their cognitions and how this drive for consistency can lead to changes in attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors to reduce the dissonance.

The book presents the results of experiments designed to test the implications of this theory and integrates empirical phenomena that were previously regarded as unrelated.
