Over sixty years ago, Dr. Leon Festinger first posited a theory of cognitive dissonance to describe the discomfort people experience when confronted by thoughts that do not follow one another. In the years since, cognitive dissonance has become a central pillar of psychological theory and practice. In this second edition, editor Eddie Harmon-Jones updates our understanding of cognitive dissonance for the twenty first century. Contributors describe connections between dissonance processes and other motivational processes. Evidence describing the neural correlates of dissonance are also provided, helping demonstrate the biological foundations of the theory.
