- Post-experiment rating of task enjoyment was significantly higher in the $1 condition than the $20 condition — a counterintuitive prediction of dissonance theory
This sourceCanonical induced-compliance ($1/$20) experiment: subjects paid $1 showed greater attitude shift than those paid $20.
- The dissonance-reduction strategy is initiated by the magnitude of experienced discomfort and the availability of reduction pathways [Cooper 2007]. Reduction pathway. A specifiable route to reduction: changing a belief, changing behavior, adding consonant cognitions, trivializing one cognition, or reducing exposure to the conflicting information.
This sourceSame study cited for the post-decision rationalization pathway (marker 064): subjects with minimal external justification reduce dissonance by revising internal attitude to align with their public statement.
