agreed

I agree that Linux/MS products isn't a good example and would not necessarily appear in a text book.

Dissonance in the brain

I've included a "cognitive dissonance in the brain" section, which might be interesting to some readers. Additions/comments are welcome. --Efb18 5:58, 16 Dec 2009

References section

I've corrected a few minor errors in the references section, and included links to urls for a number of peer-reviewed articles. I've also applied APA style where necessary. Corrections are welcome. --Efb18 3:43, 10 Jan 2010

The Great BYUIdaho Wiki Edit of 2019

The college student who edited this page for his psychology course, user Cranein, is a moron (or is it Mormon? Someone correct my spelling) and writes like he's in the 7th grade. It looks like he vandalised this and several other pages with the knowledge (and consent?) of user Ian, a 'Wikipedia Expert.' How is this acceptable? Is this really how wikipedia works?

Anyway, most of his garbage has been taken out, but someone ought to remove the travesty that is the "Contradictions to the theory" section. And maybe require prospective editors to pass some sort of English test. Thanks, that's all.

Peer review

This article looks really well written, and I'm not entirely sure that there is much more to add on. One avenue could be to look into adding another example similar to the ones about smoking, meat eaters, and littering. I didn't see much about the history of cognitive dissonance, and feel as though that might be able to be elaborated on like the theorist and their merit maybe. Seeing that there are so many references I would look for further information through these sources already linked. Plizington (talk) 14:44, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review. I will look more into similar real-world experiences, as well as the theory's history. Those are both great ideas. Some of the subjects I have been thinking of adding include the cognitive dissonance that journalists feel, the effect of interracial relationships, and the relationship between accessible higher education and carbon emissions. Hellomuffin (talk) 16:33, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the helpful review. I will look into adding more examples when it comes to cognitive dissonance. I think that I will add examples that are more current to show how cognitive dissonance is prevalent in this time. I will also add a section about the history of cognitive dissonance and the founder of the theory. I have found some sources about that and will use them for the article.
