Cognitive dissonance is understood as a state of mental discomfort that is caused by the collision of conflicting ideas within a person. According to Leon Festinger, a person who is confronted with cognitive dissonance will strive to minimize the level of inconsistency of their ideas as much as possible. Until he does, he will be in an unstable mental state. As an example, cognitive dissonance occurs when you have to pass a difficult exam, and you do not prepare for it at all. In this situation, as the exam approaches, the tension will only increase.
Cognitive dissonance is a conflict caused by a discrepancy between internal representations of what is seen or heard (external stimuli) that causes discomfort.
Yes or No. In my opinion, this is the cognitive dissonance inside the human mind. Solving a question, setting tasks, goals, creating ideas, a person wonders if I can do it. By doing so, it poses obstacles in the form of cognitive dissonance. You should say YES more often. From the point of view of the psychology of thought, ideas that arise in the process of cognitive dissonance will not be realized, because they have contradictions, but if you weigh the pros and cons, and accept all YES, then I think that everything will work out. They say Those who don't take risks don't drink champagne! . So I say YES.
In my original formulation, cognitive dissonance is a psychological paradox that consists in an external contradiction of the essence of a phenomenon, relative to its individual assessment!!! Conventionally, cognitive dissonances can be divided into positive (indifferent) and negative (neurotic) ones. Also, the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, for the first time among psychiatrists, drew attention to the difference between the obsessive suffering of well – born, secular, charming young ladies for an “unhappy life” (neurosis) and the calmness of women from lumpen-proletarian strata, even despite numerous cosmetic defects in appearance (indifference). Echoes of cognitive dissonance can be seen in the saying “what is good for a Russian, then death for a German”, etc. Another example: the authorities of Nairobi (Kenya) decided to resettle some of the slum dwellers in comfortable urban apartment buildings, but after a while, most of them returned to their former favelas, renting out their apartments, because life “at the bottom” is their usual occupation, although it looks ridiculous from the outside!!!
Remember the toast from the “Caucasian Captive” – I have the opportunity to buy a goat, but I don't have the desire. I have a desire to build a house, but I don't have the opportunity, etc.
In my opinion, this is a special case of cognitive dissonance.
Now the mask mode, and every day I experience CD on myself!!!You go to a transport or store, and they force you to put on a mask (or cloth),assuring you that this will protect you from COVID – 19.But I know that the infection is called 2019-nCoV.and the COVID – 19 virus does not exist.And moreover, I know that the mask does not save you from it! This is where cognitive dissonance comes in!!!
