powerful when it is about our self-image. Feelings of foolishness, immorality

been completed and cannot be undone, then the after-the-fact dissonance

decision-making, forcing us to take actions we would not have taken before.</span></font><span></span></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Cognitive dissonance

appears in virtually all evaluations and decisions and is the central

mechanism by which we experience new differences in the world. When we see other people

behave differently to our images of them, when we hold any conflicting thoughts, we experience

dissonance.</span></font><span></span></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Dissonance increases

<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">Festinger first
|

developed this theory in the 1950s to explain how members of a cult who were
|
||||
persuaded by their leader, a certain Mrs Keech, that the earth was going to be destroyed on
|
||||
21st December and that they alone were going to be rescued by aliens, actually <i>increased </i>their
|
||||
commitment to the cult when this did not happen (Festinger himself had infiltrated the cult, and
|
||||
would have been very surprised to meet little green men). The dissonance of the thought of
|
||||
being so stupid was so great that instead they revised their beliefs to meet with obvious facts:
|
||||
that the aliens had, through their concern for the cult, saved the world instead.</span></font><span></span></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt">In a more mundane

experiment, Festinger and Carlsmith got students to lie about a boring task.

Those who were paid $1 felt uncomfortable lying.</span></font><span></span></div>

|

is central to many forms of persuasion to change beliefs, values, attitudes

can be moved in many small jumps or one large one.</span></font><span></span></div>
