Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incompatibility between attitudes or between behavior and attitudes leads to cognitive dissonance, which refers to the mental discomfort or psychological stress experienced by a person when holding two or more contradictory beliefs, values, or ideas. This discomfort motivates individuals to reduce the cognitive dissonance by changing their attitudes or behaviors to restore consistency and balance. Organizational dissonance, attitudinal clarification, values clarification, and affective reactance are not appropriate answers in this context.
