cognitive dissonance

An example of somebody displaying cognitively dissonant behaviour would be a situation where the persons views, values, beliefs etc are contradicted or opposed by one or other persons causing them mental (psychological) stress. At this point a state of cognition is triggered effectively causing them to refute, reject &/or miss-perceive the contradictory views, values or beliefs.



cognitive dissonance
A condition of conflict or anxiety resulting from inconsistency between one's beliefs and one's actions, such as opposing the slaughter of animals and eating meat.
Example:
This child is going through a state of cognitive dissonance as he imitates his hero while physically beating his friends.


cognitive dissonance
Example:
'It is with deep sorrow that I learned today of the death of Cuba's longest serving President,'
'We join the people of Cuba today in mourning the loss of this remarkable leader.'

etc, etc.
yep this is called cognitive dissonance.


cognitive dissonance
Cognitive Dissonance States that contradicting cognitions serve as a driving force that compels the mind to acquire or invent new thoughts or beliefs, or to modify existing beliefs, so as to reduce the amount of dissonance (conflict) between cognitions.
Example:
You do a boring job, but is paid $30/hour, so you say that is a nice and interesting job....'well, it is not cognitive dissonance, I think is a great new job!!'

You are deciding about two movies, your girlfriend wants to see the most boring one so after the cinema, you think it was a good movie and cool after all.


cognitive dissonance
Knowing you made the wrong choice but are too stubborn to correct yourself and therefore deny it by saying everyone else made the wrong choice.
Example:
PS3 fanboy: PS3 KICKS 360'S ASS ANYDAY.

Xbox fanboy: Uhhh...Okay. Cognitive dissonance. I'll just go back to playing Halo 3.


cognitive dissonance
When a conservative objects to blaming George W. Bush for the recession, even though he blames everything that happened during the Bush Administration on Bill Clinton.
Example:
Conservative: Yep the old usual left wing play, if all else fails, blame Bush.

Liberal: But you blamed everything that happened during the Bush Administration on Clinton. How is that any different?

Conservative: I guess I'm engaging in some cognitive dissonance.


cognitive dissonance
A mental conflict where a person's beliefs do not align with reality, creating a feeling of unease and tension, which results in the person attempting to rationalize their belief to cope with the discomfort
Example:
A: "Trump is going to win this election by a landslide!"

*Trump loses the election*

A: "No way he lost, the election is rigged! Trump still won this by a landslide"

This person is experiencing cognitive dissonance


Cognitive Dissonance
Internally repealing old beliefs and past experiences and replacing them with new information that contradicts the original to conform with internal belief structures.

Example: Democrats
Example:
Joe Biden saying if the President had done his job, no one would have died from Covid-19, then declaring "there is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months" is an extreme case of Cognitive Dissonance.
