Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a person experiences cognitive dissonance, they are usually uncomfortable with the conflict between their beliefs and new information. To reduce this discomfort, they may rationalize the new information to make it fit with their existing beliefs, rather than accepting the evidence that contradicts their beliefs. This process helps them maintain a sense of consistency and coherence in their beliefs and actions.
