Read the Discussion Forum Rubric in the Course Documents folder before completing this DQ. According to Monroe: Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The "ideas" or "cognitions" in question may include attitudes and beliefs, and also the awareness of one's behavior. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, or by justifying or rationalizing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Cognitive dissonance theory is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories. (A.) Give an example to show how the dissonance theory affects an attitude, belief, or behavioral change? (B.) Provide a personal example of a time when you experienced cognitive dissonance in your own life. (C.) Read the following scenario then write a brief narrative response explaining your path(s) or position on the decision making process.
