Cognitive Dissonance Occurs When

Cognitive dissonance occurs when:

A) conflicting implicit and explicit cognition occurs at the same time.
B) two thoughts or perceptions are inconsistent, and an unpleasant psychological tension results
C) we use internal, personal attributions, rather than external, situational attributions, to explain our own behavior.
D) we overestimate the extent to which we could have predicted or foreseen the outcome of an event after it occurred.
