Have your best friend betrayed by their partner ..? If ever what sahabt do ..? Feelings that arise ...? Such indecision is beginning to emerge in the hearts best friend ...? Actually still in love but hate ... (Kayak song Geisha Love and Hate, he)If a friend had a feeling like that, then the science of psychology means friends are experiencing cognitive dissonance. Cognitive
dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by the discrepancy
between two or more attitudes and between attitudes and behavior.According
to Leon Festinger (1957), dissonance occurs when there is an opposite
relationship between cognitive elements within the individual. Ertolak
relationship behind it, occurs when there is a denial of the cognitive
elements with one another, for example between a positive attitude A to B
(A loving husband B) and a negative attitude toward the behavior of B
(B affair with another woman).In
everyday life, we see the state of discomfort when faced with a
situation where we have to behave differently with the attitude that we
have. Usually we have to behave differently with the attitude that we have. Usually we will try to reduce the discomfort with mnegubah attitude or behavior. In other words, to achieve a balance within ourselves.Three types of mechanisms to reduce cognitive dissonance is as follows (Aronson. 1968, Festinger, 1957):1. Change
attitudes or behavior to be consistent with each other, in this example
we take the case of the above, then you need to do is just make sure
that where the feelings of the wife, still love or hate. So there is only one choice.2. Finding new information that supports their attitudes or behavior to balance the conflicting cognitive elements. For example, the wife finding out why he was having an affair with another woman, there may be something wrong with the wife. From this it is expected the wife to support informed choice of what still feels love or hate it increases3. Trivilization,
which ignores or assumes a discrepancy between attitudes or perilaki
that cause dissonance as swsuatu unimportant. For example, the wife ignore her husband's behavior, or to let the husband was having an affair with another woman.So
the friend of all who read this, can judge for yourself whether or not
cognitive dissonance, and if you have the companions can apply three
alternative reduces discomfort is based on the theory of Aronson.
