Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Postdecision dissonance is the discomfort or tension that arises when we have made a decision between two or more alternatives. This discomfort can lead us to rationalize or justify our choice, often by emphasizing the positives of the chosen option and the negatives of the alternatives. Justification of effort refers to the tendency to value something more if we have put effort or work into it. Insufficient justification occurs when a person experiences cognitive dissonance about a decision they have made and tries to reduce the dissonance by altering their attitude towards the decision. Decisional regret is the feeling of remorse or distress that we experience after making a choice that is not the best option.
