[[User:Darlig Gitarist\|<b style="font-family:Helvetica Neue;color:#FF4500">Darlig</b>]] 🎸 <sup>[[User talk:Darlig Gitarist\|''Talk to me'']]</sup> 16:41, 8 December 2021 (UTC) == Cognitive Dissonance ==▼ ~~It is called 'Cognitive Dissonance' when our behaviours doesn't contradict our attitude.~~ ~~When our behaviours doesn't match our attitude.~~ We have three ways to manage Cognitive Dissonance and they are: Reduce Dissonance, Create a new cognitive dissonance, and Changing behavior to match attitude. [[User:Victoria Okeowo\|Victoria Okeowo]] ([[User talk:Victoria Okeowo\|talk]]) 06:32, 2 March 2022 (UTC) ~~== Selective exposure ==~~ "The idea is, choosing something that is in opposition to how you feel or believe in will increase cognitive dissonance." This doesn't seem true in my case, as I regularly now find statements that are in opposition to the facts and are unsubstantiated on none other than our television news related to a certain topic, that seem to be widely assumed but incorrect beliefs. Rather than the illusory truth effect working with me, I don't need to believe or hold these unsubstantiated beliefs. Instead no matter how much it is stated - whilst that periodically leaves me frustrated - I still hold onto what is the truth according to legitimate and qualified experts that are not on the news - likely because I am on the autistic spectrum and therefore less emotionally swayed by things that don't hit my emotion and end up persuading me to believe them - instead they end up it seems hitting my emotions the opposite, frustrating me at their relentless repetition of untruth or unsubstantiated claims. This interesting, because in the next part, it seems to me I wouldn't actually identify with or need any relation to whether people were happy or unhappy, their emotional experiences in all of this wouldn't hit me and it seems likely to me that I'd be objective and unbiased and watch either movie - it claims it is more comfortable to see a movie about someone similar to yourself, this doesn't appear to be so with me (that rarely gets plotlines in movies anyway) as otherwise I would be regularly watching moves with people who aren't autistic in them - namely the vast vast majority of people and be having more comfortable only with a small range of material that features autistic people only. This isn't the case: I feel as comfortable with either, for me it may be more comfortable to watch the movie with the happy, successful people in it as I don't relate to either their happiness (that may not even come across to me unless it is profoundly explicitly happy with people smiling in a hugely obvious way - I usually miss subtleties as to whether people are happy or not, unless they tell me by words or are smiling in an obvious way) and the fact they are having a successful life probably wouldn't hit me either: I'd have to have a film review explain that that was the case to me. For me the movie with unhappy people in it, which isn't like myself anyway, would probably be less watchable since I don't like people when they are upset - I feel that would be more obvious to me and therefore, for me, make it less comfortable to watch. That said, when I heard of people later saying how difficult it was to watch a TV programme about all the hurt those running pubs have had in the pandemic and that they were crying their eyes out as it was "heartbreaking" to watch, all of that went completely over my head as I just watched the programme and found no difficulty in watching it at all, despite their pubs being forced to close - it was just factual and didn't hit me that how heartbreaking it was for those involved, even though, after the event, I see how being forced to close their businesses is clearly upsetting. I just didn't get any of that when watching it. So, as usual, it seems that the extract from this article on which I conclude applies to people who are not on the autism spectrum - as an autistic person who doesn't have friends, I am lonely and isolated in the pandemic but I rarely if ever feel lonely or isolated (much to everyone else's annoyance no doubt). Despite being one of the loneliest people, not seeing my family for ages in the pandemic, I do not have any of this at all - it seems to me the article should say it is more comfortable for people who aren't autistic... - perhaps, maybe I am an unusual autistic person and different autistic people may be different from me about this - autistic people generally faring worse off than non-autistic people in the pandemic although both neurotypes having it hard but a minority of autistic people actually finding it not this way and me happening, unfortunately and annoyingly to everyone else, not to have it this way, although it hasn't been plain-sailing for me either: <span class="wikied-assignment" style="font-size:85%;">— Assignment last updated by [[User:~~Natalie750~~Lawflower21\|~~Natalie750~~Lawflower21]] ([[User talk:~~Natalie750~~Lawflower21\|talk]]) 2114:0741, 2516 ~~October~~February ~~2022~~2024 (UTC)</span>▼ For example, a study was done in an elderly home in 1992 on the loneliest residents—those that did not have family or frequent visitors. The residents were shown a series of documentaries: three that featured a "very happy, successful elderly person", and three that featured an "unhappy, lonely elderly person." After watching the documentaries, the residents indicated they preferred the media featuring the unhappy, lonely person over the happy person. This can be attested to them feeling lonely, and experiencing cognitive dissonance watching somebody their age feeling happy and being successful. This study explains how people select media that aligns with their mood, as in selectively exposing themselves to people and experiences they are already experiencing. It is more comfortable to see a movie about a character that is similar to you than to watch one about someone who is your age who is more successful than you. == Peer review == ~~[[User:aspaa\|aspaa]] ([[User talk:aspaa\|talk]]) 13:02, 26 June 2022 (UTC)~~ This article looks really well written, and I'm not entirely sure that there is much more to add on. One avenue could be to look into adding another example similar to the ones about smoking, meat eaters, and littering. I didn't see much about the history of cognitive dissonance, and feel as though that might be able to be elaborated on like the theorist and their merit maybe. Seeing that there are so many references I would look for further information through these sources already linked. [[User:Plizington\|Plizington]] ([[User talk:Plizington\|talk]]) 14:44, 16 February 2024 (UTC) ~~== Obvious Error--Who Won? Good demonstration of cognitive dissonance. ==~~ :Thank you for the review. I will look more into similar real-world experiences, as well as the theory's history. Those are both great ideas. Some of the subjects I have been thinking of adding include the cognitive dissonance that journalists feel, the effect of interracial relationships, and the relationship between accessible higher education and carbon emissions.

This continued even after such claims were confirmed by numerous state and federal judges, election officials, governors, and government agencies as completely true.

I will look into adding more examples when it comes to cognitive dissonance. I think that I will add examples that are more current to show how cognitive dissonance is prevalent in this time. I will also add a section about the history of cognitive dissonance and the founder of the theory. I have found some sources about that and will use them for the article.
