Primes

• Cognitive Dissonance
  • The psychological discomfort arises when the relationship between cognitions is recognized as incompatible [Festinger 1957]. Self-relevance or cost. The inconsistency matters — it concerns the self, a committed action, an expensive choice, or a public identity — so that indifference is not available as a response.
