In this insightful and inspiring episode, we take a deep dive into the emotional complexities that shape our experiences as medical professionals. Drawing wisdom from Brené Brown's Atlas of the Heart, we explore how paradox, irony, sarcasm, and cognitive dissonance influence both our interactions with patients and our own well-being. We unpack the definitions of these concepts, examine their roles in clinical practice, and discuss strategies for navigating these intricate emotional dynamics with compassion and awareness. From the challenges of aligning personal values with professional recommendations to the power of rethinking and unlearning, this episode is filled with thought-provoking insights and real-life examples. Key Takeaways: Understanding Cognitive Dissonance: The mental discomfort of holding conflicting beliefs is more common than we think. Recognizing and naming our feelings can help reduce their power. Aligning personal values with professional recommendations can prevent burnout and foster integrity. Practicing non-judgmental communication builds trust and deepens patient relationships. Embracing Paradox in Medicine: Paradox exists when contradictory elements coexist, such as balancing empathy with objectivity. The "both/and" approach (instead of "either/or") can lead to more nuanced and compassionate decision-making. Cultivating comfort with ambiguity and practicing reflective listening enhances patient care. Irony in Clinical Practice: The outcome of a situation may sometimes contradict expectations, offering powerful lessons in humility and awareness. Recognizing irony thoughtfully can provide insights while fostering resilience and understanding. The Role of Sarcasm: Sarcasm can be a tool for stress relief but also has the potential to alienate others. Using humor with intention ensures it strengthens rather than weakens connections. Prioritizing clear and empathetic communication fosters stronger relationships with both colleagues and patients. Resisting Comfort Over Courage: Growth happens in discomfort—choosing to align actions with values, even when difficult, leads to personal and professional fulfillment. Learning to rethink and unlearn beliefs that no longer serve us is a powerful tool for transformation. Compassion, both for ourselves and others, is essential in the ever-evolving world of medicine. Final Thoughts:This episode challenges us to lean into discomfort, reframe our perspectives, and embrace the complexities of human emotion with curiosity and courage. By fostering awareness, practicing self-compassion, and embracing paradox, we can become more resilient and empathetic physicians, colleagues, and caregivers. References Brown, B. (2021).

Episode 031 - Sometimes…Actions Think Louder Than Thoughts The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori Episode Overview: In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori dives into an unconventional but powerful perspective on change: that actions can shape our thoughts, sometimes more profoundly than the reverse. While many self-help messages focus on shifting our mindset to drive behavior, Dr. Tori explores the overlooked approach of using action as a catalyst for internal transformation. Drawing on insights from thought leaders like Amy Cuddy, William James, and Robert Cialdini, this episode reveals why small, intentional actions may be the key to lasting growth in influence, leadership, and personal development. What You'll Learn: The Power of Action-Driven Change: Discover why shifting your actions can have a ripple effect on your thoughts, emotions, and even beliefs, challenging the traditional “thoughts-first” approach. Key Influence Insights: Learn from research and insights on how commitment and consistency influence belief formation (Leon Festinger), the role of body language in state management, and the science behind power poses. Practical Application: Get a glimpse into Dr. Tori's Influence Book Club, a community designed to help people transform insights from top influence and communication books into real, practiced skills. Practical Tools for State Management: Explore Dr. Tori's resource, “101 Ways to Manage Your State,” which provides actionable strategies to help you take control of your mental and emotional state. Access it at DrTori.com/101. Action as Habit-Building: Understand Aristotle's wisdom on habit and excellence—why repeated behaviors define us more than occasional good intentions. Memorable Quotes: “Sometimes, action thinks louder than thoughts.” “If you want to change your life, don't wait for your mindset to shift. Start with the action, and let your thoughts catch up.” “We become what we think, yes—but also what we repeatedly do.” Key Takeaways: Embrace the Behavior-First Approach: By changing your actions, you can influence your mental and emotional state in powerful ways. Smiling, adopting power poses, and managing your body language can change how you feel, not just how others see you. Consistency Builds Commitment: As seen in Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance, our actions often strengthen our beliefs and commitment. Taking even small steps in a particular direction can align our mindset over time. Join a Like-Minded Community: In the Influence Book Club, Dr. Tori not only helps others grow in their influence skills but puts action at the forefront, ensuring that members implement what they learn to create lasting impact in their communication and relationships. Connect With the Influence Community: If you're ready to dive deeper into actionable influence skills, join the Influence Book Club at InfluenceBookClub.com. Be part of a community that translates knowledge into impactful behaviors, transforming influence from theory to practice. Listener Challenge: Think of one small action you can take today to influence your mindset. Strike a power pose, put on a smile, or take one step toward a long-term goal. Notice the shift that a single behavior can have on your thoughts and emotions. Don't Forget to Rate and Share!

In dieser Podcast-Episode tauchen wir tief in das Thema Deeskalation ein – ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Selbstverteidigung. Wir erkunden, warum das Konzept der Deeskalation oft missverstanden wird und wie man es effektiver angehen kann. Dabei betrachten wir, welche typischen Fehler man vermeiden sollte und wie man durch präzise Kommunikation und taktisches Vorgehen die Kontrolle in kritischen Situationen behält. Zudem erfährst du, welche Anzeichen darauf hindeuten, dass Deeskalation nicht mehr möglich ist und wie du dann sicher reagierst.

Welcome to the 200th episode of the flagship podcast series PsychSessions: Conversations About Teaching N' Stuff. In this episode, Garth and special guest host Chris Cardone interview Elliot Aronson from the University of Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz, CA. The trio explores Aronson's significant contributions, including the Festinger and Carlsmith experiment and the cognitive dissonance theory. Aronson elaborates on his work like the jigsaw classroom approach to reduce prejudice and applied social psychology experiments targeting health behaviors. Reflecting on changes within academia, Aronson voices concerns over the decline in quality, contrasting it with the 'golden age' of social psychology. He suggests that research opportunities were more favorable in his era and encourages the audience to read his works for deeper insights.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
Tanya Luhrmann's, 'Persuasions of the Witch's Craft: Ritual Magic in Contemporary England' offers an in-depth exploration of how individuals in modern, scientifically-oriented societies develop a profound connection with the practices of magic and witchcraft. At the core of our discussion is Luhrmann's intriguing concept of 'interpretative drift,' which describes a gradual yet significant shift in how people perceive and integrate magical beliefs into their rational worldview. We delve into the intricate process of this shift, examining how factors such as community involvement, ritual participation, and cognitive changes influence the way educated and often sceptical individuals come to embrace magical practices. This exploration is not just a one-sided view; I will also present various counterarguments, providing a comprehensive perspective on the complexities of belief formation within the context of magic and witchcraft.

Welcome to the first episode of the Performance Initiative Podcast with Dr. Grant Cooper and Dr. Zinovy Meyler. In this episode, Dr. Grant Cooper and Dr. Zinovy Meyler talk to Professor Grant Cooper from Princeton University about the concept of cognitive dissonance and its impact on decision-making and attitudes. The discussion begins with an introduction to cognitive dissonance and its definition. The famous Festinger and Carlsmith experiment is then discussed, highlighting how people resolve cognitive dissonance by changing their attitudes. The conversation also touches on the Ben Franklin effect, which demonstrates how doing a favor for someone can change attitudes. The importance of consistency and the role of choice in cognitive dissonance are explored. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the influence of cognitive dissonance on political extremism. This conversation explores the concept of cognitive dissonance and its impact on individuals and society. It delves into the influence of social media on extremism and the tendency to align one's beliefs with the dominant group. The concept of vicarious dissonance is discussed, highlighting how individuals can experience dissonance when someone they feel close to acts in a way that contradicts their values. The conversation also explores the potential use of dissonance in advertising and personal growth. The darker side of cognitive dissonance is examined, including its role in gang behavior and extreme ideologies. The importance of choice in resolving dissonance is emphasized, as well as the potential misuse of the term 'cognitive dissonance'.Chapters:(00:00) Introduction to Cognitive Dissonance(01:21) Dr. Joel Cooper - Cognitive Dissonance(02:17) Understanding Cognitive Dissonance(02:54) Exploring the Classic Fessinger and Carl Smith Experiment(08:25) The Role of Choice and Reward in Cognitive Dissonance(12:28) Ben Franklin Effect(17:01) The Role of Consistency in Cognitive Dissonance18:51 Cognitive Dissonance in Children and Monkeys(21:39) The Impact of Cognitive Dissonance on Decision Making(31:18) The Role of Choice in Cognitive Dissonance(36:01) The Impact of Success in Convincing Others on Cognitive Dissonance(38:18) The Role of Social Media in Political Extremism(39:11) The Impact of Social Media on Personal Opinions(40:08) The Consequences of Expressing Opinions Publicly(41:37) The Concept of Vicarious Dissonance(49:57) Applying Cognitive Dissonance in Everyday Life(59:40) The Influence of Group Behavior on Individual Actions(01:04:16) The Dark Side of Cognitive Dissonance(01:10:20) Misuse of the Term 'Cognitive Dissonance'(01:15:49) Closing Remarks and RecommendationsProfessor Joel Cooper's Book - https://a.co/d/4I6Y39r
Ci sono alcuni libri di psicologia che tutti conoscono, e che hanno contribuito allo sviluppo di tale materia, fino a raggiungere la collettività. Chi non ha mai sentito parlare, per esempio, dell'interpretazione dei sogni di Freud? O del moderno “pensieri lenti e veloci” di Kahneman? E certamente questi sono molto famosi. Ve ne sono altri, invece, meno conosciuti, ma di certo straordinari.Questo è il caso di “Quando la profezia non si avvera” di Festinger. Si tratta di un libro che racconta lo studio di un gruppo di persone, assimilabile per certi versi ad una setta, soggiogate dalla leadership di una donna, il cui nome reale viene protetto dallo pseudonomio Marian Keech. Voglio chiarire un concetto: non si tratta della solita finzione che si dice, in qualche modo, essere tratta da una storia vera. Nel libro vengono presentati, con rigore scientifico, i reali accadimenti e la follia che li contraddistinse. Tutto ebbe inizio con un messaggio, ricevuto da una donna apparentemente normale, stabilitasi in un'insignificante cittadina americana. Ad essere straordinario era il mittente, identificato come un essere extraterrestre. Marian Keech aveva ricevuto un messaggio dal lontano pianeta Clarion: un messaggio disperato, che la incitava a mettere in salvo più persone possibili. In salvo dalla distruzione della terra, che sarebbe avvenuta da lì a poco a causa di un diluvio universale...ma un gruppo selezionato sarebbe stato salvato da un'astronave.Il libro citato Quando la profezia non si avveraQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

Alieni, dischi volanti, dissonanza cognitiva e sette. Il fil rouge che unisce tali grandezze è di certo la psicologia sociale di Leon Festinger. Lo studioso ci racconta, a cavallo tra il 1954 e il 1955, l'incredibile storia vera della setta capitanata da Marian Keech, che avrebbe predetto la fine del mondo appunto nel dicembre del 1954. Esplora la dissonanza cognitiva nel nuovo format di Giallo psicologico, dove andremo alla scoperta dei libri più famosi che trattano argomenti curiosi o fatti di cronaca nera che hanno fatto la storia della psicologia.Clicca e vai al il libro "quando la profezia non si avvera" di Leon Festinger (Autore), Henry W.

Este episodio lo dedicamos a la diferencia que existe entre Ser y Parecer. Un debate que nos ayudará a reflexionar sobre pérdidas y ganancias que obtenemos con cada cara de esta moneda. Aunque… se vista de seda… en ocasiones no es lo que parece. ¿Por qué y para qué nos comparamos con los demás?, ¿mi autoconcepto y autoestima dependen de las opiniones y del refuerzo que me otorgan los demás? Para argumentar las respuestas a estas preguntas, la base de este episodio está cimentada a través de la psicología social, haremos alusión a las Teorías de la Disonancia Cognitiva y de la Comparación Social de L. Festinger centradas en el tema que nos ocupa hoy.

Tell us we're wrong? With a teeny budget of ONE MILLION DOLLARS, this movie has it all: Joan Baez crooning as Bruce Dern eats a melon, bilateral amputees playing loveable drones (never done before or since) and most importantly, microwave button pushers which definitely became a thing and definitely do not date this movie. .Trees need light, Freeman Lowell!.Links:Silent Running by Mark Kermode (reference for use of bilateral amputees)Silent Spring by Rachel CarsonWhen Prophecy Fails by Festinger, L., Riecken, H.

Con María Noel conversamos sobre la libertad y las preferencias adaptativas, las capacidades y las disonancias cognitivas. NADA DE LO HUMANO NOS ES AJENO OTRA TARDE NEGRA RADIOCERO 104.3 06-04-22 Muchas veces nos preguntamos por qué una persona en una situación de pobreza extrema no toma algunas decisiones para revertir su situación. Algunas de las alternativas podrían ser aprender lo básico para realizar algún tipo de trabajo manual, iniciar un pequeño emprendimiento económico, hacer un mejor uso de los servicios públicos de protección social, etc Es un fenómeno presente muchas veces en este tipo de población, que subvierte nuestras intuiciones sobre la racionalidad del comportamiento y que afecta directamente las posibilidades de las personas de mantener a lo largo del tiempo la aspiración de modificar su situación. En estos casos, la frustración que se genera al desear algo que no se puede obtener termina propiciando una adaptación de toda aspiración o preferencia de la persona a las condiciones que se tienen. Esto tiene como consecuencia que el estado actual sea percibido como un buen resultado y por lo tanto se congele todo deseo de modificarlo. La formación de preferencias adaptativas no es la única respuesta adaptativa que tiene un individuo ante situaciones que conllevan disonancia cognitiva y un incremento de la frustración. La otra respuesta adaptativa que queremos manejar es lo que se denomina “planificación del carácter”. ESTOICISMO En psicología, el término disonancia cognitiva hace referencia a la tensión o desarmonía interna del sistema de ideas, creencias y emociones (cogniciones) que percibe una persona que tiene al mismo tiempo dos pensamientos que están en conflicto, o por un comportamiento que entra en conflicto con sus creencias. Es decir, el término se refiere a la percepción de incompatibilidad de dos cogniciones simultáneas, todo lo cual puede impactar sobre sus actitudes. El concepto fue formulado por primera vez en 1957 por el psicólogo estadounidense Leon Festinger, en su obra A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance (edición en español, Teoría de la disonancia cognoscitiva).12 La teoría de Festinger plantea que, al producirse esa incongruencia o disonancia de manera muy apreciable, la persona se ve automáticamente motivada para esforzarse en generar ideas y creencias nuevas para reducir la tensión hasta conseguir que el conjunto de sus ideas y actitudes encajen entre sí, constituyendo una cierta coherencia interna. La motivación para la reducción de la disonancia se debe a la tensión psicológica que un individuo tiene que soportar cuando su sistema cognitivo presenta una gran disonancia o incoherencia interna. Por ejemplo, una persona con valores y creencias morales inculcadas desde su infancia puede verse envuelta en acciones que él mismo rechazaría (guerras, muertes, torturas...), por lo que se ve motivada a introducir nuevos valores que justificarían su actitud: la defensa de la Patria, el evitar males mayores, etcétera.

David and Tamler wander through the bewildering dream-like world of Franz Kafka's "The Trial." In part one of a two-part discussion we discuss the circumstances of its publication, the various interpretative approaches that can be taken to the novel, and all the ways that Kafka's prose gets under your skin, making you feel what's happening even if you don't fully understand it. Recorded in the decidedly un-Kafka-esque location of Nosara, Costa Rica – thanks to the Harmony Hotel for having us back! Plus – Social Psychologists for Peace send an open letter to Vladimir Putin urging him to reverse course on the tragic invasion of Ukraine. Putin seems intent on toppling the Ukranian government but has he considered Sherif et al (1961), Tajfel (1977), Festinger (1954), and Brewer (1991)?
On Dec. 21, 1954, the world was supposed to be flooded, and true believers taken aboard flying saucers to safety. When that didn't happen, the Seekers tried to excuse away the no-show aliens, and thus cognitive dissonance entered the American psyche. Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly discuss how Leon Festinger put his theory to the test by pretending to be a true believer to study how followers managed their cognitive dissonance when the world kept spinning.

In this episode, we start at the Tokyo Olympics and end at a deep dive into why fringe internet communities such as 'incels' and 'femcels' are dissatisfied with their looks and dating by considering Leonhard Et al's paper on dating preferences based on one's own looks. This falls into the category of Festinger's dissonance theory, where couples in such one member is significantly dating down in physical attractiveness undergoes cognitive dissonance in an attempt to justify their reasoning for the large gap in physical attractiveness. As we go through the research in this episode, the results are actually quite surprising and not something you would guess intuitively.Lee, Leonard; Loewenstein, George; Ariely, Dan; Hong, James; Young, Jim (2008).

This is: Cached Selves, published by AnnaSalamon on the LessWrong. by Anna Salamon and Steve Rayhawk (joint authorship) Related to: Beware identity Update, 2021: I believe a large majority of the priming studies failed replication, though I haven't looked into it in depth. I still personally do a great many of the "possible strategies" listed at the bottom; and they subjectively seem useful to me; but if you end up believing that it should not be on the basis of the claimed studies. A few days ago, Yvain introduced us to priming, the effect where, in Yvain's words, "any random thing that happens to you can hijack your judgment and personality for the next few minutes." Today, I'd like to discuss a related effect from the social psychology and marketing literatures: “commitment and consistency effects”, whereby any random thing you say or do in the absence of obvious outside pressure, can hijack your self-concept for the medium- to long-term future. To sum up the principle briefly: your brain builds you up a self-image. You are the kind of person who says, and does... whatever it is your brain remembers you saying and doing. So if you say you believe X... especially if no one's holding a gun to your head, and it looks superficially as though you endorsed X “by choice”... you're liable to “go on” believing X afterwards. Even if you said X because you were lying, or because a salesperson tricked you into it, or because your neurons and the wind just happened to push in that direction at that moment. For example, if I hang out with a bunch of Green Sky-ers, and I make small remarks that accord with the Green Sky position so that they'll like me, I'm liable to end up a Green Sky-er myself. If my friends ask me what I think of their poetry, or their rationality, or of how they look in that dress, and I choose my words slightly on the positive side, I'm liable to end up with a falsely positive view of my friends. If I get promoted, and I start telling my employees that of course rule-following is for the best (because I want them to follow my rules), I'm liable to start believing in rule-following in general. All familiar phenomena, right? You probably already discount other peoples' views of their friends, and you probably already know that other people mostly stay stuck in their own bad initial ideas. But if you're like me, you might not have looked carefully into the mechanisms behind these phenomena. And so you might not realize how much arbitrary influence consistency and commitment is having on your own beliefs, or how you can reduce that influence. (Commitment and consistency isn't the only mechanism behind the above phenomena; but it is a mechanism, and it's one that's more likely to persist even after you decide to value truth.) Consider the following research. In the classic 1959 study by Festinger and Carlsmith, test subjects were paid to tell others that a tedious experiment has been interesting. Those who were paid $20 to tell the lie continued to believe the experiment boring; those paid a mere $1 to tell the lie were liable later to report the experiment interesting. The theory is that the test subjects remembered calling the experiment interesting, and either: Honestly figured they must have found the experiment interesting -- why else would they have said so for only $1? (This interpretation is called self-perception theory.), or Didn't want to think they were the type to lie for just $1, and so deceived themselves into thinking their lie had been true. (This interpretation is one strand within cognitive dissonance theory.) In a follow-up, Jonathan Freedman used threats to convince 7- to 9-year old boys not to play with an attractive, battery-operated robot. He also told each boy that such play was “wrong”. Some boys were given big threats, or were kept carefully su...
"Quando la profezia non si avvera" è uno dei libri più incredibili legati alla storia della psicologia sociale. Sarebbe possibile riadattare il concetto chiave che emerge dalla narrazione di "dissonanza cognitiva" con alcuni fenomeni odierni? Cosa hanno in comune i protagonisti della comunità di Marian Keech con i negazionisti di oggi? Lo scopriremo in questo dicembre, in un'atmosfera antitetica dominata da freddi climi e argomenti scottanti.
Unter kognitiver Dissonanz können wir laut Festinger einen Zustand verstehen, in den wir geraten, wenn wir feste Überzeugungen haben, welche durch Informationen aus der gegebenen Realität widerlegt werden. Die Folge ist ein Zustand, den wir als unangenehm und mit innerer Anspannung und Konflikten verbunden erleben. Wir fühlen uns gezwungen diesen Spannungszustand so schnell als möglich aufzulösen. Da wir jedoch – trotz der vorliegenden Gegenbeweise – nicht bereit sind unsere Überzeugungen aufzugeben, finden wir einen alternativen Weg, indem wir die im Widerspruch befindlichen Informa-tionen in unsere Überzeugungen integrieren. Der Ausgangspunkt für die Beschreibung dieses Vorgangs, war Festigers Beobachtung, wonach wir Menschen bestrebt sind, eine für unser Denken und Empfinden gültige und bestehende subjektive Ordnung stets von neuem aufrechtzuerhalten. Hierbei erstreckt sich das Bedürfnis eine Ordnung in der eigenen Welt zu schaffen auf sehr viele Aspekte unseres Alltags, nicht nur auf unsere Einstellungen und Überzeugungen. So sichern wir über unzählige Gewohnheiten und routinemäßigen Abläufe unser alltägliches Leben, sowohl im privaten als auch im beruflichen Bereich. Ein Gefühl der Spannung und des Unwohlseins entsteht meist dann, wenn diese automatisierten Abläufe durchbrochen werden. Im Jahr 1954 hatte Festinger in einem von ihm konzipierten Experiment die Möglichkeit der Frage nachzugehen, welche Auswirkungen es hat und zu welchen Folgen es führt, wenn vorhandene Überzeugungen durch den Verlauf der Wirklichkeit widerlegt werden. Würde es in einem solchen Fall zu einer Korrektur der Überzeugungen kommen oder finden die Betroffenen einen anderen Weg mit der offensichtlichen Diskrepanz zwischen Einstellung und Wirklichkeit umzugehen?
That one where we ingest reality television mindfully. After spending the last few weeks working on and promoting her SXSW Panel Picker proposal, resting, reflecting, and getting tf organized, Adriana returns to the podcast mic to talk about several things that've been on her mind. In a recap of the weeks past, we'll talk current events and shed light on a few stories that affirm the lasting trauma of colonization and the importance on building community as a radical act of liberation (from the powers that be). This week's topic of the week is about many of our favorite guilty pleasure: reality television. Adriana will aim to explore the reasons people watch (and enjoy) reality television, what reality television watching tells about personality, and some ways to practice mindfulness when it comes to watching this type of programming. We'll discuss voyeurism, and its psychological connection to those who enjoy reality shows, Festinger's Social Comparison Theory, and the similarities (and key differences) between people who do watch and those who don't. In a short conversation about being mindful of the ways we judge others' journeys, the OG Says segment was inspired by the rare instance of coming across a thought-provoking meme. To close the episode and set the energetic tone for the week to come, Adriana intuitively chooses and reads a poem from one of her favorite books by Thich Nhat Hanh. ***PLEASE "VOTE UP" ON ADRIANA'S SXSW 2022 PANEL PICKER PROPOSAL!*** https://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/112265 Email us for questions, comments, and anything else at: organicwithog@gmail.com Follow Us!

(NOTAS Y ENLACES DEL CAPÍTULO AQUÍ: https://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/kaizen/98-disonancia-cognitiva-trabajos-poco-estimulantes-aliens-y-falsos-recuerdos/)Normalmente, es difícil saber cuál es el instante exacto en el que se produce un gran descubrimiento. Sí, todos pensamos en esos momentos “eureka”, en los que en un ataque de inspiración alguien entiende una verdad fundamental que cambiará el mundo. Como cuando House se daba cuenta de que lo que tenía el paciente no era Lupus mientras discutía con alguien por cualquier otro tema. Pero lo cierto es que nada tiene un único principio, todo se construye sobre lo que hubo antes.Sin embargo, las historias sí necesitan un comienzo. Y la que te quiero contar hoy, también, aunque empiece casi por accidente. Es 1945, y con apenas 26 años, un joven psicólogo llamado Leon Festinger se une al MIT para trabajar en el Centro de Investigación de Dinámicas de Grupo que acaba de fundar una de las grandes eminencias de la psicología de la época, Kurt Lewin. En uno de sus primeros trabajos, el joven Festinger se encarga de estudiar algo que suena de todo menos apasionante: el impacto de la arquitectura y la ecología en la satisfacción de los estudiantes de la universidad con respecto a sus residencias. Todos hemos tenido trabajos de esos al principio de nuestra carrera. Curiosamente, como parte de aquel estudio, Festinger y sus colaboradores encontraron algunos hallazgos poco esperados al fijarse en cómo se formaban los grupos de amigos. Descubrieron algo inesperado: la proximidad física predecía mejor los lazos sociales que tener gustos o creencias similares. En otras palabras: que tendemos a hacernos amigos de nuestros vecinos o, mejor dicho, que las amistades tienden a surgir según con quién nos encontremos más a menudo. Así contado no parece el descubrimiento del siglo, y según mi propia experiencia no sé cuánta gente sigue haciéndose amiga de los vecinos, pero éste fue el primer paso de un camino que llevaría a uno de los grandes descubrimientos de la psicología: la disonancia cognitiva.
Today We take a very deep dive into Festinger, Riecken & Schacter's seminal work "When Prophecy Fails". This episode is packed with crazy stuff; exploration of the 1800's Millerite movement (to later inspire Jehovah's Witnesses and others), automatic writing, UFO cults, dianetics practitioners, flood prophecies, flying saucers, Atlantis with a bit of 'The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu' thrown in for good measure. Not to mention Venusian footprint interpretation. The idea of cognitive dissonance and its affect on followers facing disconfirmation of the end of the world has become well known, but the research has some real problems as well as some moments of comedy gold.

La motivation est un sujet récurrent de préoccupation pour tout le monde: collaborateurs, managers, RH, patrons. C'est un fourre-tout, mettons de l'ordre. 1 Qu'est-ce que la motivation au travail ? 2 Comment et quand les employés sont-ils motivés pour effectuer une certaine tâche ? 3 Comment peut-on mesurer la motivation au travail ? 4 Quels sont les facteurs connus pour stimuler la motivation au travail ? Revue commandée par CIPD (association RH internationale), basée sur 74 articles publiés entre 2000 et 2020. 1 Qu'est-ce que la motivation au travail ? La "motivation au travail" fait référence au besoin ou aux raisons pour lesquelles les employés s'efforcent d'accomplir leur travail quotidien au mieux de leurs capacités. Noter la différence entre: - Les facteurs qui favorisent la motivation (ce qui intéresse l'encadrement, surtout si c'est prédictif) - Les mécanismes qui lient les facteurs au résultat - Les résultats de ces mécanismes (performance) 2 Comment et quand les employés sont-ils motivés pour effectuer une certaine tâche ? On parle ici des mécanismes, donc des théories de la motivation. 3 catégories: théories soutenues scientifiquement, théories obsolètes, théories réfutées Théories soutenues scientifiquement Théorie de l'échange social (Social Exchange Theory): - La confiance comme moteur de la motivation, - Observation du comportement et inférence sur la confiance, donc sur la prise de risque de l'action donc sur la motivation - Thème de la réciprocité, y compris avec l'organisation: je suis motivé parce que je reçois Théorie de l'identité sociale (Social Identity Theory): - Complément à l'intérêt égoïste des autres théories - L'importance pour un individu de certains groupes sociaux détermine la motivation - L'identification à un groupe booste la confiance en soi, le sentiment personnel d'efficacité, donc la motivation Théorie de l'autodétermination (Deci et Ryan): - Trois besoins fondamentaux: autonomie, compétence, appartenance et lien (relatedness) - Motivation intrinsèque + motivation extrinsèque = meilleurs résultats Théorie de l'auto-régulation (Bandura): - Trois étapes: autosurveillance, auto-évaluation, auto-réactions - Quatre composantes: normes du comportement souhaité, motivation à respecter ces normes, surveiller les pensées et les actions qui précèdent la déviation ou la violation d'une norme, la volonté de contrôler les envies d'enfreindre une norme - L'autorégulation consiste principalement à nous empêcher de faire des choses que nous savons ne pas devoir faire parce qu'elles sont en conflit avec nos objectifs à long terme. Théories obsolètes: - Théorie du renforcement, conditionné ou pas (Pavlov, Skinner): trop limitée car seulement extrinsèque - Théorie des pulsions (Hull, Spence): trop limitée car seulement intrinsèque - Théorie de la dissonance cognitive (Festinger): recherche méthodologiquement peu solide, concept peu clair - Théorie des caractéristiques de l'emploi (Oldman, Hackman): trop limitée car basée sur la tâche seulement - Théorie de l'expectance (Vroom): problèmes méthodologiques; inclue dans la théorie de l'autorégulation - Théorie de la comparaison sociale (Festinger): remplacée par la théorie de l'auto-régulation et la théorie de l'échange social Théories réfutées: - Théorie de la hiérarchisation des besoins (Maslow) - Théorie bifactorielle (Herzberg) 3 Comment peut-on mesurer la motivation au travail ?

In 1957 Leon Festinger uncover cognitive dissonance and it has been weaponized against us for the betterment and detriment of society ever since.
If comparison is the thief of joy, why is it so bloody hard to actually stop comparing yourself to other people? Why do humans even compare themselves in the first place? Is there such a thing as healthy comparison? How can we use comparison to improve our lives? In today's episode of the matcha diaries, we attempt to answer these questions, as well as many others surrounding the complex topic of comparison. So many blogs/podcast episodes on this topic we found online always had one main takeaway: “Stop comparing yourself to others''! And whilst that sounds great in theory, in practice this always seemed to prove impossible and slightly too simplistic… So we decided to do a little digging ourselves and explore the scientific reasons behind human's seemingly endless need for comparison.
This might sound harsh but… WE KNOW you love being lied to.How can we say that with confidence?Because things like Nxivm, Scientology, politics, elections, cults, and SOCIAL MEDIA all exist and thrive in our world today.But WHY?! Why is it that human beings love being lied to so much?What is it about us that makes us want to believe things that aren't true?Today we're diving deep into this absolutely fascinating subject about the human psyche and why we're constantly looking for the easy way out by believing in (sometimes outlandish) lies and allowing ourselves to be controlled and manipulated by others.This is an awesome episode. Gay and Mike had a blast with this subject.One of the things that bother Mike sometimes about podcasting is the notion of being “authentic.” He knows just how important it is to be authentic and have deep, meaningful conversations but sometimes he catches himself performing instead.The god's honest truth is that he's afraid of revealing too much or that he won't be liked or he'll lose an audience but in reality, the fastest way to grow a great audience is by being super deep and authentic. Bottom line… it's scary and HARD to let your guard down, be real, be open, be authentic and THAT contributes to why so many of us allow ourselves to be lied to and conned even though we know deep down, something isn't right. It's easier to believe the lies.Gay recalls a situation a few years back when he was contacted by Kripalu (the famous yoga and health center). Their guru had gotten involved in some sexual improprieties with other members of the organization and ran off with millions of dollars leaving the place in a real mess. Gay, along with a couple of other therapists, were invited to come and work with the community of about 150 people.They were extremely traumatized because they had been living inside this lie. The Guru had not only conducted these improprieties, but he also asked members not to talk about it. A few of the women who were involved were sworn to silence but finally, one couldn't take it anymore and came forward.What Gay really started wondering after meeting with these bright, yoga-practicing, super healthy people was why is it that a group of people like this would create such a situation in their lives? So he asked them that very question, but sadly, what was left behind was a group of people that were suddenly thrown out into the real world not knowing what to do because they had been living in this contained community.A psychologist named Leon Festinger, back in the 60s and early 70s, at Stanford University, did a number of studies on cults. At the time, there was a big “end of the world” cult in the area so Festinger had a few of his graduate students, join and infiltrate the cult. The day came when the cult leader said the world was going to end and obviously, it didn't but when it was announced that the leader was wrong, about a third of the members quit and the rest became even stronger, true believers. So what happened with the true believers? Why did their faith become stronger? Why wasn't their illusion shattered?In Mike's opinion, the number one thing that drives followers in religion, politics, social media, etc, is HOPE. People will buy hope forever. Leaders oftentimes do what they do for sex, money, power, whatever, but it's also the fear of loss of hope.Here's what we have found. When our identities get involved we'll stop at nothing to protect our own self-perception of who we think we are and that includes managing and maintaining a lie. When someone falls into the hope sold by an individual and they get their own identity wrapped up into it, and they have propagated a lie, that lie becomes part of their identity as well.Mike thinks in the case of the re-election, Trump followers, for example, are so invested that their identities are invested too. (Think about how many people who have cut ties with family members and friends because of it.) As soon as your identity is wrapped up in something, you've both, lost power and power can be gained over you and that's where manipulation comes in.Ultimately what it comes down to is a real hunger for some kind of identity. For the person who doesn't feel any organically, most likely, somewhere along the line you were traumatized or interfered with in some way, so you dissociate yourself with your body. If you don't do something about that process of dissociating, you allow yourself to be manipulated.Listen now to hear more incredible stories about cults, politicians, lawyers, and celebrities PLUS Gay and Mike exploring the age-old question, “who am I?” Don't miss this episode, and remember to share it with someone you love!
Nous sommes constamment jugé au sein de la société pour nos faits et gestes, cela veut-il dire qu'il faut se plier au conformisme et agir en suivant ce qui représente la norme, sans réfléchir ?
In 1957, Leon Festinger published A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance. Along with a collection of compelling experiments, Festinger changed the landscape of social psychology. The theory, now referenced constantly both in and outside of academic circles, has taken on a life of its own. And it’s still informing new research and analysis more than 60 years later.For the grand 20th episode of Opinion Science, I want to give you an insider’s look at the theory–its inspiration, the people involved, the classic studies, and the remaining controversies.Throughout the show you’ll hear from people who have studied cognitive dissonance and who knew the infamous Leon Festinger: Elliot Aronson, Joel Cooper, Jeff Stone, April McGrath, and Mike Gazzaniga.To learn more about cognitive dissonance, check out these two books written by two of our guests: Cognitive Dissonance: 50 Years of Classic Theory and Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me).For a transcript of this show, visit the episode's webpage: http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/episode/cognitive-dissonance/Learn more about Opinion Science at http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/ and follow @OpinionSciPod on Twitter.

[NOTE: This episode is republished from #50 in January 2019.] Robert Cialdini, PhD is counted among the greatest psychological researchers alive today and his published works have been cited thousands of times. His New York Times best-selling book, Influence, from 1984, is considered a classic for classroom and corporate use alike. He is an ardent author and a passionate professor, and his work has impacted millions. In short, Bob Cialdini has shaped the landscape of how sales and marketing workers do their jobs and how researchers frame their studies. In this episode of Behavioral Grooves, Bob took a few minutes to discuss some of his most underappreciated research and some of the new things he’s working on. We began with a study that used littering as a way to predict, before the polls closed, the outcome of an election by watching how voters treated candidate fliers left on their cars. One of the very elegant aspects of this study was that it required no surveys – merely the observation of behaviors in the parking lots of the polling places. The question the researchers sought to answer was this: How do voters treat the fliers of candidates they favor and of those they oppose? More specifically, do voters keep fliers from candidates they like and litter with the fliers of candidates they dislike? Then, our conversation moved to a line of research that he’d investigated for over a decade: the motivations for pro-social behavior, such as giving to those in need. Bob reminds us that there are many motivators at play when one person helps out another, as when a passerby gives money to some asking for money on the street, but there is one motivator that stands out: egoism. Many of us believe that being charitable is an obligation or is driven by guilt, and while that is true to some degree, Bob’s collective research over more than a dozen years revealed that egoism, that selfish desire to feel good about ourselves, is at the heart of helping others. Then we went a step farther. Bob noted that helping others is more likely to occur when the person in need appears to be in-group or in-tribe. In other words, we’re more likely to be charitable if it appears the person asking for help is “like me.” The primary way we decide if someone is like us is to look at how they’re dressed. What kind of clothes are they wearing? In his studies, Bob found that soccer (football) fans were more likely to assist someone on the street if they were wearing the jersey of their favorite team. It’s unnerving to think that the clothes you wear could determine whether someone helps you or not. In our grooving session, Kurt and Tim discussed the impact of social identity and self-identity. We discussed articles by Michael Hogg and Roy Baumeister. We brought in books by Harvard Professor Teresa Amabile and Dan Levitan’s great treatise on the neurological effects of music. And on music, we chatted about how music makes us feel and we cited Semisonic’s “Closing Time” and Beethoven’s 5th Symphony as examples. Lastly, Bob is interested in hearing from YOU! He’d like listeners to send reports on how the principles of influence are being used in the real world to be included in his next book. If you’d like to be considered for his next work, please send your stories to info@influenceatwork.com We hope you enjoy our discussion with Bob Cialdini © 2020 Behavioral Grooves Sponsor: The Creative Group, Inc. This episode is brought to you by Creative Group Inc. Kurt and Tim have worked with CGI and have found that their process of co-creation of incentive program provides clients with more robust solutions. Because their incentive and employee engagement programs are co-created, they reflect the truest aspects of the client’s organization and culture. CGI shares our belief that incentives and rewards shouldn’t be used to create brand mercenaries – but instead, should be about creating brand missionaries.

However, it wouldn’t have happened without the concerted effort of Bobette Gordon. We thank her for her coordination and support to make put make our conversation with Bob a reality.

Cognitive Dissonance, while sounds very fancy, is an extremely common effect we all experience. It is when you realise you are acting in a way you don’t agree with. It can happen because someone points out you made a mistake, new evidence comes to light or you just have a lightbulb moment. Until the 1960s there was no unified theory in Psychology on how people handled this, it was seen as impossibly complex and ultimately unsolvable. It was in essence trying to describe how we are human. In the 1960s a researcher named Festinger put forward the first theory, it was hardly a theory of all humanity but it did lay out how people react when they see a mismatch between how they are acting and what they are thinking. His research is some of the most cited of all time and modern research has taken it into amazing new avenues which really make you assess what a brain is ‘for’.

La disonancia cognitiva (Festinger) se manifiesta en la tensión cuando una persona mantiene dos cogniciones psicológicamente inconsistentes, ("x" o "y") y que busca solucionar de alguna manera, usualmente reforzando la decisión o perspectiva original y la de grupo. Dicho sesgo puede estar presente en la familia, en el trabajo, en lo sentimental, donde sea…
Bienvenid@ al capítulo 30 de «Créeme lo que te digo», el podcast en el que nos ocupamos de todas aquellas cuestiones relativas al mundo de la persuasión, la oratoria, el hablar en público y, en definitiva, el arte de que nuestras opiniones y nosotros, seamos tenidos más en cuenta.En el capítulo de hoy vamos a intentar conocer el mecanismo persuasivo que hay detrás de la Ley de la Congruencia, del compromiso o de la disonancia cognitiva, que es como me gusta llamarla a mí. Además, vamos a ver de qué manera lo podemos utilizar nosotros para nuestros planes de persuasión.En el «Abrir y consumir» de hoy vamos a ver cómo conseguir aumentar la probabilidad de que los compromisos se lleven a efecto en el trabajo.Espero que os guste. ¡Hasta luego, persuasores!Óscar
Robert Cialdini, PhD is counted among the greatest psychological researchers alive today and his published works have been cited thousands of times. His New York Times best-selling book, Influence, from 1984, is considered a classic for classroom and corporate use alike. He is an ardent author and a passionate professor, and his work has impacted millions. In short, Bob Cialdini has shaped the landscape of how sales and marketing workers do their jobs and how researchers frame their studies. In this episode of Behavioral Grooves, Bob took a few minutes to discuss some of his most underappreciated research and some of the new things he’s working on. We began with a study that used littering as a way to predict, before the polls closed, the outcome of an election by watching how voters treated candidate fliers left on their cars. One of the very elegant aspects of this study was that it required no surveys – merely the observation of behaviors in the parking lots of the polling places. The question the researchers sought to answer was this: How do voters treat the fliers of candidates they favor and of those they oppose? More specifically, do voters keep fliers from candidates they like and litter with the fliers of candidates they dislike? Then, our conversation moved to a line of research that he’d investigated for over a decade: the motivations for pro-social behavior, such as giving to those in need. Bob reminds us that there are many motivators at play when one person helps out another, as when a passerby gives money to some asking for money on the street, but there is one motivator that stands out: egoism. Many of us believe that being charitable is an obligation or is driven by guilt, and while that is true to some degree, Bob’s collective research over more than a dozen years revealed that egoism, that selfish desire to feel good about ourselves, is at the heart of helping others. Then we went a step farther. Bob noted that helping others is more likely to occur when the person in need appears to be in-group or in-tribe. In other words, we’re more likely to be charitable if it appears the person asking for help is “like me.” The primary way we decide if someone is like us is to look at how they’re dressed. What kind of clothes are they wearing? In his studies, Bob found that soccer (football) fans were more likely to assist someone on the street if they were wearing the jersey of their favorite team. It’s unnerving to think that the clothes you wear could determine whether someone helps you or not. In our grooving session, Kurt and Tim discussed the impact of social identity and self-identity. We discussed articles by Michael Hogg and Roy Baumeister. We brought in books by Harvard Professor Teresa Amabile and Dan Levitan’s great treatise on the neurological effects of music. And on music, we chatted about how music makes us feel and we cited Semisonic’s “Closing Time” and Beethoven’s 5th Symphony as examples. Lastly, Bob is interested in hearing from YOU! He’d like listeners to send reports on how the principles of influence are being used in the real world to be included in his next book. If you’d like to be considered for his next work, please send your stories to info@influenceatwork.com We hope you enjoy our discussion with Bob Cialdini. https://behavioralgrooves.podbean.com/ Sponsor: The Creative Group, Inc. This episode is brought to you by Creative Group Inc. Kurt and Tim have worked with CGI and have found that their process of co-creation of incentive program provides clients with more robust solutions. Because their incentive and employee engagement programs are co-created, they reflect the truest aspects of the client’s organization and culture. CGI shares our belief that incentives and rewards shouldn’t be used to create brand mercenaries – but instead, should be about creating brand missionaries.

However, it wouldn’t have happened without the concerted effort of Bobette Gordon. We thank her for her coordination and support to make put make our conversation with Bob a reality.

A finales de los años 50 del siglo pasado, el psicólogo Leon Festinger propuso la teoría de la “disonancia cognitiva”, para explicar la incomodidad que sentimos las personas, cuando intentamos mantener la coherencia en momentos en los que la realidad nos hace dudar de nuestras actitudes o pensamientos. En este Apuntes de Psicología compartimos contigo esta célebre teoría y te contamos cuáles son los mecanismos que solemos utilizar para salir cuanto antes de la disonancia cognitiva. Si ya formas parte del Club ETM, ya sabes que estos días estamos publicando nuevas sesiones del RETO “Ayudar a mi hijo a mejorar su autoestima”.

"Life is full of lessons, and 'playing the hand you're dealt as well as you can play it' is a good one." -- Elliot Aronson Today I'm incredibly excited to welcome the legendary Elliot Aronson to The Psychology Podcast. Aronson is an eminent social psychologist who is best known for his groundbreaking experiments on the theory of cognitive dissonance and for his invention of the Jigsaw Classroom, a highly effective cooperative teaching technique which facilitates learning while reducing interethnic hostility and prejudice. He is the only person in the 120-year history of the American Psychological Association to have won all three of its major awards: for writing, for teaching, and for research, and in 2007 he received the William James Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Association for Psychological Science, in which he was cited as the scientist who "fundamentally changed the way we look at everyday life.” Over the course of our in-depth and wide-ranging discussion, Aronson: Shares stories and key lessons from his famous mentors–Abraham Maslow and Leon Festinger–and how each of the two altered the course of his life, Illuminates with examples some of his most fascinating findings in the field of Social Psychology, Offers his take on the replication crisis and on what he calls the "TED-ification" of Psychology, Imparts on us wisdom he's gathered not just as a researcher and psychologist but also as a father and brother. It was a pleasure to have a legend in the field on the show for such a comprehensive conversation, filled with stories and lessons. Enjoy!

The Theory of Cognitive Dissonance Leon Festinger formulated the cognitive dissonance theory at Stanford University. He asserted, "When attitudes or beliefs conflict with our actions, we are uncomfortable and motivated to try to change." Festinger's theory sets the foundation for the Law of Dissonance. The Law of Dissonance proves that people will naturally act in a manner that is consistent with their cognitions. What is a cognition? Our cognitions is a mental process that uses thoughts, beliefs, experiences, and past perceptions. Basically that means when people behave in a manner that is inconsistent with these cognitions, (beliefs, thoughts or values) they find themselves in a state of discomfort. In this uncomfortable state, they will be motivated to adjust their behaviors or beliefs to regain mental and emotional balance. When our beliefs, attitudes, and actions mesh, we feel congruent. When they don't, we feel dissonance at some level—that is, we feel awkward, uncomfortable, upset, or nervous. In order to eliminate or reduce that tension, we will do everything possible to adjust our beliefs or rationalize our behavior, even if it means doing something we don't want to do. Imagine that there is a big rubber band inside of you. When dissonance is present, the rubber band begins to stretch. As long as the dissonance exists, the band stretches tighter and tighter. You've got to take action before it reaches a breaking point and snaps. The motivation to reduce the tension is what causes us to change; we will do everything in our power to get back in mental balance. We like to feel a level of consistency in our day to day actions and interactions. This harmony is the glue that holds everything together and helps us cope with the world and all the decisions we have to make. The human brain needs to be right. It is hard for us to admit we are wrong. We are programmed to justify what we are doing is right and avoid taking responsibilities when things go wrong. It is easier for us to find ways to prove ourselves right (even when we are wrong) then to admit why we are wrong. Even when backed into a corner or shown evidence that proves we are wrong, we tend to not change our reasoning or point of view. We will find reasons, proof, or social support why what we did was OK. We will start to believe our lies to ourselves, it couldn’t be our fault and we persuade ourselves why we were justified.

We're gonna try podcasting! Wish us luck. This first podcast, we'll call podcast zero, provides a teaser of what is to come. Our podcast series is called Thought Exercises! Okay, yes, we did do the same said podcast, before, when our website was VRHacks. The primary difference was, that podcast was a text2voice rendition of various blog posts. This one, however, is um... human! Moi! That said, here is the description of our podcast: Our goal is to challenge views put forth by mainstream and social media by exploring contradictory material and subtexts. Notably, presenting the concept that one can hold competing viewpoints, and that mutual exclusivity is not a requirement. The precept of this podcast challenges Festinger's Theory of Cognitive Dissonance by proposing that we have the choice to break free from societal norms. And finally, since our host and guests may, at times, and without apology, engage in irreverent banter, this podcast is better suited for mature audiences. Oh. And. Feedback is always welcomed!
Relacionamentos são dinâmicos... Podemos ter ex-amigos, ex-namoradas e até ex-esposas. Relacionamentos são laços que podem durar muito ou não. Mas, o que a Ciência fala a respeito? Algo que mexe muito com as pessoas é quando os relacionamentos acabam e bate aquela saudade. Festiger e colaboradores, em 1959, falaram sobre a Dissonância Cognitiva. Basicamente, este conceito é demonstrado quando terminamos um relacionamento, ficamos com aquela vontade de voltar, de reatar uma amizade, um casamento. Vários pensamentos positivos sobre o relacionamento findado invadem nossa cabeça. Pois, bem, se houve uma ruptura, houve também coisas ruins. Daí, esta incongruência, esta dissonância cognitiva. Para Gaher e colabores, o melhor é focar no que realmente aconteceu, e, não entrar neste conflito emocional interno. Outro ponto, cientificamente interessante, é a amizade, e, o continuísmo de contato. Inhoff, em 2011, mostrou que manter um contato perene com um Ex, por exemplo, pode causar uma perpetuação dos pensamentos positivos e uma forma inconsciente de um backup emotivo. Spielmann, em 2009, mostrou que psicologicamente falando, um indivíduo que se sente capaz de buscar novos relacionamentos, pode ter um diminuição da dissonância cognitiva, e, viver melhor. Então, a ciência está presente em tudo na nossa vida, basta a gente procurar. Basta a gente querer. Referências: Festinger, L., and Carlsmith, J. (1959, March).

Influence Psychology and Persuasion - Mike Sweet - 10 Minute Coach - Develop and Discover
This is session number 013 of Influence Psychology and Persuasion podcast and this show is all about cognitive dissonance and how we can use it to improve our lives and outcomes dramatically. What is Cognitive Dissonance? This term refers to the situation where you have an internal conflict about your attitude, behaviours or a certain belief. Whenever you have this conflict, it is known as cognitive dissonance and it comes with a feeling of discomfort and in most cases the need to rationalise or reframe to realign those beliefs, thoughts, actions etc. An example would be: people smoking (their behaviour) yet they know it causes cancer and other serious diseases (their cognition). The cognitive dissonance would then show when a person would try to rationalise, reframe or make it right for them. “I've always done it, and it gives me a timeout” This is a theory that was presented by Leon Festinger in 1957. When he proposed this cognitive dissonance theory he explained that people want to remain consistent in their initial actions, and beliefs and this can give rise to irrational thinking and even maladaptive behaviour. A fantastic study that was done by Leon Festinger when he was observing as a participant of a cult that believed the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood. Some of the extremely committed members of this cult had even given up their jobs and their homes to work for the cult full time. Festinger wondered what would happen to the members beliefs when the time arose and the flood did not happen. When the time did arise, some of the fringe members recognised that they had been misinformed or perhaps began building beliefs unnecessarily left the group. However, those more experienced or committed members began to reinterpret or re-frame the evidence to show that there were right all along. Even though before the event was to happen they were absolutely certain that the Earth would end through flood and that members of the cult would be taken away to safety. Almost instantly, the most committed and experienced of the group fabricated a new justification of why the earth didn't flood or come to an end and this further compounded their belief.
The Theory of Cognitive Dissonance Leon Festinger formulated the cognitive dissonance theory at Stanford University. He asserted, "When attitudes or beliefs conflict with our actions, we are uncomfortable and motivated to try to change." Festinger's theory sets the foundation for the Law of Dissonance. The Law of Dissonance proves that people will naturally act in a manner that is consistent with their cognitions. What is a cognition? Our cognitions is a mental process that uses thoughts, beliefs, experiences, and past perceptions. Basically that means when people behave in a manner that is inconsistent with these cognitions, (beliefs, thoughts or values) they find themselves in a state of discomfort. In this uncomfortable state, they will be motivated to adjust their behaviors or beliefs to regain mental and emotional balance. When our beliefs, attitudes, and actions mesh, we feel congruent. When they don't, we feel dissonance at some level—that is, we feel awkward, uncomfortable, upset, or nervous. In order to eliminate or reduce that tension, we will do everything possible to adjust our beliefs or rationalize our behavior, even if it means doing something we don't want to do. Imagine that there is a big rubber band inside of you. When dissonance is present, the rubber band begins to stretch. As long as the dissonance exists, the band stretches tighter and tighter. You've got to take action before it reaches a breaking point and snaps. The motivation to reduce the tension is what causes us to change; we will do everything in our power to get back in mental balance. We like to feel a level of consistency in our day to day actions and interactions. This harmony is the glue that holds everything together and helps us cope with the world and all the decisions we have to make. Dissonance causes us to distort our memories or remember what we want to see or how we wanted it to happen. This blurs reality and allows us to cover our mistakes. The human brain needs to be right. It is hard for us to admit we are wrong. We are programmed to justify what we are doing is right and avoid taking responsibilities when things go wrong. It is easier for us to find ways to prove ourselves right (even when we are wrong) then to admit why we are wrong. Even when backed into a corner or shown evidence that proves we are wrong, we tend to not change our reasoning or point of view. We will find reasons, proof, or social support why what we did was OK. We will start to believe our lies to ourselves, it couldn’t be our fault and we persuade ourselves why we were justified. This allows us to live with our thoughts, manage our day to day activities and allows us sleep at night. Have you ever proved someone they were wrong? Have you ever backed them into a corner? What happened? You made the perfect case, but you never heard from them again.
This week, I talk about the doomsday religion that social psychology Leon Festinger studied in the 1950s. His studies led him to develop his theory of cognitive dissonance. The concept of cognitive dissonance has been with us for a long time (Wikipedia points out an example from Aesops Fables), but Festinger was the first to coin the term. In doing so, he launched a line of research that has been really fascinating...
The theory of Cognitive Dissonance is a well-established concept in the field of psychology that explains why we all experience discomfort and anxiety when we are exposed to new ideas and beliefs or engage in behavior that conflict with our pre-existing views, ideals, and beliefs. I've been extremely interested in producing an episode of A Thoughtful Faith that could explore the concept of Cognitive Dissonance as it relates to an LDS faith crisis / faith transition. When the opportunity came to produce a collaborative episode with the wonderful Nathasha Helfer Parker at the Mormon Mental Health Podcast, this seemed like a really good fit for both audiences. So, I couldn't be more thrilled about sharing my discussion with Natasha Helfer Parker and the amazing Jennifer Finlayson-Fife. Both Natasha Helfer Parker and Jennifer Finlayson-Fife are active Latter-Day Saints, as well as marriage and family therapists. Natasha and Jennifer each have experience with treating Mormon individuals and couples, and have observed the function of Cognitive Dissonance as it pertains to Mormon culture and ideals. Please visit their respective websites below. In the first part of this episode we explore the clinical definition of Cognitive Dissonance, including some of the history behind the theory, as well as common examples from day-t0-day life. Afterwards, we transition into how understanding Cognitive Dissonance can be useful in understanding and navigating faith transitions and crises. We hope you enjoy, and please share your thoughts and comments with us below. Thanks again to Natasha and Jennifer for sharing their experience and expertise with me and our audience.
