Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "My supervisor is unfair" represents a cognitive evaluation or thought about the supervisor being unfair, which falls under the category of cognitions in social psychology. Affect refers to emotions, while dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling that arises when a person holds two conflicting cognitions, beliefs, or values. While the statement may lead to dissonance for someone who also values fairness, the statement itself is not an example of dissonance.
