We discuss Cognitive Dissonance through Eddie Harmon-Jones recently published paper - Cognitive Dissonance - Reexamining a Pivotal Theory in Psychology, We discuss the enduring influence of Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance, which posits that individuals strive to maintain consistency between their beliefs and actions. The text explores various paradigms for testing the hypothesis and addresses critiques, such as the self-consistency and self-affirmation models while delving into the neural correlates of dissonance processes. The contributors discuss how the theory can be applied to diverse areas, such as consumer behaviour and prejudice, and provide novel mathematical models and evidence on the role of affective responses in dissonance. Finally, we discuss the future of dissonance research, suggesting that the field is still evolving and will continue to produce valuable insights.Recommended Books to understand Cognitive Dissonance better A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance by Leon FestingerMistakes Were Made (but Not By Me) by Carol Tavris and Elliot AronsonThe Entire Behavioural Science Reading List
