Cognitive Dissonance: Your Response to Conflicting Beliefs

I find the experiment of payments the more intuitive to explain this phenomenon. There was two kind of participants doing VERY boring tasks. One was paid 5 buck while the others 100. Which ones rated the task more fun? The ones that were paid less. The idea is that doing such boring task for little reward resulted in a cognitive dissonance which was resolved if you think the task is kinda fun. However the ones that were paid more rated the task very boring since they were justified because they "were paid to do it". (all this is from memory you are welcome to search the original paper, I may be wrong in details)

[@rosettesionne9139]

I am living my most intense cognitive dissonance I could never imagine. I faced an issue with one of my professors who openly humiliated me because I couldn't do what he wanted he said I had mental problems because of it and destroyed my reputation another one insulted me and attacked my sanity because I got angry and confronted him about his behavior but when I complained every body minimized what they did by saying they were in a bad mood and putting the fault in me that I surely did something harmful for them to treat me that way... Okay I said to myself as long as I didn't anger them they will treat me with respect (I knew nothing about codependency at this time) but one thing I noticed is that when people makes me angry and that I reacted I was blamed with my anger and heard words like respect your elders or honor your parents even if their own behaviors were extremely disrespectful but when I did something that angered them I was severely humiliated and they used my behavior as an excuse to justify their reaction... So at the end is it normal to get angry when annoyed or is it abnormal my brain is stuck

I recommend you to share these to people that has connections with your anger, connect them by a sincere apology. Its something to address your lack of knowledge about anger. Stating that you may act more than you think when you are angry, but you are still eager to learn about how to handle such situations. This will surely give better results than being silent, because I can guarantee it will give you a life lesson. Goodluck with it!

[@redkent6388]

I started really learning about cognitive dissonance a few months ago and was able to see how it appears in everyone's lives around and within myself. I compare it with studying film in school, after a while you watch movies differently, watching the camera angles and their meaning, the pacing and the backgrounds etc. I feel like I've become that way with cognitive dissonance now. When it appears it has become easier to deal with because of the practice applied to small and seemingly inadequate things such as cleaning, dishes, laundry, food, exercise, learning (learning has by far been one of the biggest, learning the foundations of everything around - like soil - strengthens your foundation in logic). Once you are able to start dealing with the dissonance appropriately, through wholesome actions, then it doesn't create any negative justifications. You become less hypocritical, hateful and jealous. I've lived in Thailand for 8 years and as with most foreigners that come, I've never learned Thai (until recently). I realised that in the early days, every foreigner I met would say the same - it's too difficult, I have enough to get around. But logically of course learning Thai has every benefit possible, but the justification of difficulty is very easy to choose not to do something. And hearing it from other people who were here longer than me made it easy to give the justification credence. I broke down the illogical justification and started learning progressively and my Thai has improved tenfold in a short time, it also inspired me to diversify learning to more things as language teaches a lot about the power of learning - going from looking at symbols (thai script) and over months watching it become sounds in my own mind. Being able to choose the right path to cognitive consonance is the first step in being able to undo past & continuous negative justifications that have formed unwholesome habits, thoughts, attitudes and beliefs.

[@charliepeterson1745]

I was raised in a Pentecostal Cult. From birth, me and my siblings prayed for half an hour every morning before breakfast. I even prayed willingly for an hour or more a day as I grew older. We fasted yearly from 8 years old. We went to church at least twice a week, and attended regular church activities. I spent my whole life strongly believing in God, and our Christian faith. We had no birthday parties, I was kept up hours past bed time every week for church. I was told not to believe in evolution, that the world was only 6,000 years old and that man kind was created in Gods image. That the world was filled with evil people, and that I should walk in God by not smoking or drinking, reading the bible, praying daily and fellowshipping weekly. I was also told to marry someone in the church so they don’t lead me astray. I was also told that if I prayed miracles would happen. People often shared the same "miracle" stories and continued year after year praying for healings that would never come. Yet as I became older, I noticed the world my parents and everyone in the church had described my whole life, wasn’t the world I observed. This was my experience of "cognitive dissonance". I remember walking outside for hours every day thinking about evolution, and trying to understand all the contradictions in the Christian explanations I had been given. I started noticing how ridiculous the beliefs where of these people, and how they didn’t even line up with each other. I asked the question "if the bible is true, why can’t Christian’s agree on what it says?” They all claim to get their answers from God, why isn’t he telling them all the same story? My Dad’s answer was simple "I know I am following God, and God says this. So if anyone disagrees then they’re walking in the flesh." He believes the way is strait and narrow, and only a few are chosen. At 25 I finally left the church and it was a breath of fresh air. Oddly enough, nothing bad happened to me (yet) like they warned. I lost my closest friends and my family no longer speak with me despite my best efforts. They think I’m going to turn out "nasty", but unfortunately for them, they’re still waiting for that day. People have been waiting for 2,000 years for Jesus Christ to return. And my family strongly believes it will be happening in their lifetime. I guess we’ll find out 🤷‍♂️

[@lenyalcantara8346]

Charlie same thing is happening with me now just trying to make sense of this whole religion thing. I was Pentecostal but my family left the church for personal reasons. Although we still practiced the same belief. Some days I feel as I'm an agnostic and other day I can see myself heading back to those limiting belief of being part of the Pentecostal church and just as this video had said I'm just trying to be consistent in the things I belief and make sense. Any advice

[@sprouts]

Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏🏻

[@charliepeterson1745]

@@lenyalcantara8346 I’ll tell you what worked for me. Learning the history of the bible and religion really helped shape my view. I studied scripture a lot as a house leader, but decided that basing my beliefs off Iron Age texts over modern science wasn’t a good idea. I told my sister that if there was any tangible evidence for God, there wouldn’t be any room for faith. She replied and told me “there may not be good evidence for God, but if we see his works around us isn’t that enough?” I replied, “just because we see lightning in the sky, does that make it the work of Zeus?” There are many great KZbin channels like Sam Harris and Genetically Modified Skeptic. Watching their videos along with debates of Christian vs atheist helped me view the evidence around me without so much bias. It also helps to avoid coming to a conclusion unless there is overwhelming factual evidence to support the claim. Unfortunately Christian’s invent answers when there is no reliable answer. And they believe in something because it makes them feel comfortable, not because it’s backed by logic and factual evidence. I don’t judge Christian’s or anyone for their beliefs. But over the years I’ve seen the consequences for believing in “God” and it’s not pretty. Always be skeptical, particularly of your own beliefs and conceptions. And don’t just adopt the beliefs of your family and the people around you. Let me know how it all goes 🤓

[@jonakuka6578]

God does not reside in the religious institutions. Religious institutions do not want to lose their status quo. All of them, including the ones representing my religion, Islam. But the Islam of the priests is not the Islam of the Book. Seeking the guidance of God is a lifelong journey.

[@Onbeperk]

Don’t overcomplicate it, forget everything any being ever taught you about religion. There are two options, either you believe in a time, matter and chance theory or that someone be it God, created you and everything around you. If you were created, the only true reason after you examine all possible reasons is ultimately because God is love and he created you exactly as you are now. Exactly as you are, not perfect, questioning everything, doing terrible things that deserves only death. He loves you exactly as you are and all he wants is for you to love Him back(not that the opposite will make Him love you any less). Don’t ask anyone else, ask God, become sensitive enough to feel His voice speaking inside you and examine if that is who you will listen to. If it is inline with the bible you know it is from God, what bible/torra/book you may ask? The one that speaks to the reason you were created, love. God is a ultimate God, He absolutely loves you and He absolutely hates sin, big or small, to Him there is only one punishment for any sin, death. Who died for your sin so you can have eternal life? Not talking about heaven and hell, to be with God is heaven and to not know Him is hell.

I think if the people are family or close friends of the person experiencing long-term cognitive dissonance despite the proof you show them if you can tolerate their behavior you can hang around and be ready to support them when they do have doubts.

You have to be sneaky as to not get them to be defensive yet still plant doubts in their thinking.

This is probably not helpful , but I’ll share just in case, the most intense case of cognitive dissonance I did experienced at the point where I was confronted with truths that helped me realize and distinguish self deception. Basically, it threw me for a loop to realize the amount of blind faith I had in believing certain lies that I was unable to convince anyone else that was true , nor justify with tangible/scientific evidence. Due to self fulfilling prophecy theory , I did noticed that after making the decision to practice faith with testing and evidence, stop suicide and believing my own lies bondage routine, that’s pretty much about the time I noticed each individual from immediate social circle started trying to elicit affirmation from me in acceptance of some lie narratives they created and even escalated that they continued over time with increased levels of aggression. I can’t recall the timing but at some point after this become a phenomenon to me like, “ not you too !” Mindset attitude and triggered suicidal/perishing feeling I got when I was doing that to myself. This of course did cause yet another cognitive dissonance reaction from feeling abused by what was and or seemed like safe and loving social circle environment prior to previous bout of cognitive dissonance.

So here I am, just me, a nobody. I get up, go outside, look up and around and, well, from MY point of view, yep, the earth does indeed look flat. I look up and think the sky is blue. No, not really "blue" at all but rather the appearance of "blue" because it's all about light waves bouncing off atoms...yeah, all that scientific stuff. Oh, but that's when *I* am told that I must yield, must accept the conclusions, the "truths" of those who are...oh yes, more educated than me. And so here I am, in 2022, living in a world that has been worshipping at the feet of those armed with all that "formal education", yes, those who I am to accept, those who "prove wrong" anything/everything that I, poor li'l ol me, have thought was true or, maybe at best, might have been the truth. And it is "those people," those armed with all that formal education and knowledge to which I have never been privy, who are so eagerly accepted as being the Ruling Class. Yes, I am so simply obey. And I watch all the rape, pillaging, and plundering, yes, "man's inhumanity to man" just keep playing out, year after year. Nothing changes, does it? Damn. Sounds exactly like those old days, you know, "back when" the "church" was the Ruling Authority. Don't question. Don't challenge. Simply believe...and obey. But "cognitive dissonance" does have a nicer ring than "faith," doesn't it? So the moral of the tale is simple: Do NOT think for yourself. Do NOT reach any conclusions for yourself. Instead, believe only and do only what those with all that formal education teach and preach. Be a docile, obedient serf and peasant. You just work, pay your taxes, and believe whatever WE tell you.

I can't tell if you're being serious at 0:50 when you said, "as a result of cognitive dissonance we may believe even the most absurd conspiracy theories." Because it's well known that people handling cog dis poorly will engage in pseudoskepticism (the most common form of irrational cognition). And yet, you're doing precisely that with this assertion. One of the top characteristics of pseudoskepticism is "dismissal prior to proper investigation" and "the tendency to ridicule instead of investigate" So, all you've done here is create a false dichotomy in which you label positions as being either what you believe (the mainstream narrative) or else it's an "absurd conspiracy theory." That is textbook pseudoskepticism. You're just handling your cog dis of having your pre-existing beliefs questioned by resorting to childish name-calling and ridicule tactics. Calling the opposing position names does not entail your position is true.

Find healthier alternatives to the sources of support we are receiving (including our own brain as one of these sources to temporarily replace or at least validate). These were top of mind thoughts right after I watched the video. In other words, we can start by focusing on (i.e. take an action towards) the main 3 points we already identified in the video standing in the way of sense-making. Again, I'm not claiming this is "the" only way to go about the challenge. I'm only suggesting a starting point based on what I've just watched. I will definitely keep thinking and working on it in order to validate the proposal itself :) How does this sound to you? What thoughts, pictures, emotions have it brought to your mind?

Talk about cognitive dissonance. The creators of this video can't imagine any meat eater either not caring how their meal came about or already knowing but being happy to continue eating meat. You'll notice they assume anyone knowing about animals and meat would have to eat less meat or enter denial - the mere thought someone could continue eating meat or even increase their meat consumption is anathema to the video creators and thus to mitigate their cognitive dissonance, the creators have to eliminate the troublesome possibilities.

[@susanwagner1312]

Take into account, humans are meat eaters, part of it is ingrained in us. It has a lot of protein and is healthier than all those carbs. You can love animals but still eat meat for many positive reasons. We’ve become very domesticated in that sense so some think ‘this is so sad’ etc.

Cognitive dissonance is just insufficient processing power as well as memory, but in humans.

I find the ideas of plastic straws is an idea of cognitive dissonance. Knowing that plastic straws are a convince to the public and a profit restaurants and other fast food establishments we knkw they are harming the environment and still take them for our convince. This Is cognitive dissonance as we know they are harming the environment and the oceanic wildlife but we still use them. Getting people to find an alternative that is just as conventional will change and there minds and find a way to help the environment

[@susanwagner1312]

You didn’t think of sick people in hospitals and those that can’t drink from cups for medical reasons. Also the plastic around paper straws…lol CC should be the last thing on your mind. You were gaslit

Went through a 3 months cognitive dissonance when learning the idea of original sin the idea people are born sinners wasn’t historically believed until 400 years after Christianity started. It threatened all my relationship, creditability, and what I had been telling people for years. If it was wrong the ramifications for the majority of Christianity was those churches were wrong and I needed to find a Christian church that believed the original teachings of the Bible. I was afraid I was just crazy and everyone else was right.

[@joe-cm4lz]

I'm confident that it was taught before Christianity even began? It goes back to the Jewish Scriptures to the very beginning of the Bible.

[@beaulieuc8910]

the whole bible is manmade nonsense and supports misogyny

You forgot the third option for meat eaters that learn how their food is processed: accepting that we live in an imperfect world and that global markets are unlikely to be compassionate and kind, and then moving on with life while accepting that we contribute to that system.

As people believe in something wrong, in religion, there is people on internet explaining that oriental religion, people wait for the sunset to eat during but on the internet a guy says : if a Muslim people live in the North Antarctic they will wait a long time before to eat because the sun never go down never a sunset during a period. So before believe in something, needs to change point of view and learn about people from around the world to escape from cognitive dissonance : why continue to believe in something wrong ?

Asking people questions like Socrates can sometimes remedy the cognitive dissonance.

so in short cognitive dissonance is the ego being to big to admit your wrong so you manifest certain fundamental truths to rationalize your thought patterns or way of thinking

There is a lot cognitive dissonance around how we autistic people are being treated in society. So much so that a lot of "autism moms", politicans, "experts" and others tend to tell everyone they can that "autism is a tragedy". They might be the one who triggers their children to meltdown most of the time. It's important for us to have someone who understands us, someone we just relax with. Every situation feels new, because no situation are 100% alike. Even the most well-meaning people have biases against us. People fear disabilities so much, it's depressing. With the way people handle covid, a lot more people will become disabled, so hopefully they will accept this reality before then.

Logical fallacies. Either something is true or false; 2 conflicting ideas cannot both be simultaneously true. Unless you mean you are apathetic to 2 different ideas. 🧐

This video is referring specifically to people who might feel guilty about it and have to deal with it in various ways. If you are acceptant of animal cruelty then it doesn't apply.

The words in this video are put together very smartly so we accept the status quo is our subconscious of today's society. "the new normal"
