I remember the first time I heard the term "Cognitive Dissonance". It was on Home Improvement from the neighbor, Wilson. He explained that it's basically when you're confronted with a piece of information that contradicts your prior understanding and thus you have to re-order your whole way of thinking to accommodate for the new info.

Well done Practical Psychology. These are great examples of the positive attributes of cognitive dissonance. Most people focus on where it is negative. DISCOMFORT IS INEVITABLE. 👊
Amazing how cognitive dissonance works as an argument from both sides. This video is extremely simplified and lacks content and context. Using smoking as an example and then the current, new and more complex situation we face such as the pandemic is interesting - the issue for me is people using cognitive dissonance as a label (much like “anti-vaxer”) to avoid discussion , especially around the obvious censorship and segregation that’s occurring - and causing issues for us all. Beliefs are based on the information we consume, but unless we have open discussions, it’s always going to be one ‘side’ vs the other, and each side can easily label the other as having cognitive dissonance - this is simply a lack of intelligence. Real cognitive dissonance is being provided with the evidence and choosing to ignore it, because the discomfort of being wrong is too much to face. Not to mention the difficulties most people face with reacting emotionally to things/being easily triggered by something that challenges their beliefs. These are what need to be addressed in my opinion, because when you know ‘Truth’, nothing can upset that.
I concur. How ironic. Starting at the 2:56 timestamp, this TH-cam creator exposes his own cognitive dissonance while attempting to explain the phenomenon. Clearly he's fallen for the C0VlD propaganda. #OpenVAERS
@@dbroenen lol yes - I wonder if he still wears his mask. Maybe he does, and hey at least that's consistent. But the amount of people who wear the mask now that we're not forced to (like 1 in 50) shows how few were actually true believers.
Another common example is employment. You have a job that pays very well but you absolutely hate it. The job is miserable every minute of the day. You can say things like "at least I am making good money", "the job isn't really that bad", "It is better than scrubbing floors or toilets", or even "I'm retiring in five years anyway then I can do what I want" or "I can afford a nice house, car, etc on my salary"
Witrh regards to smoking, all the factors mentioned used to justify the continuance of smoking are actually something that happens. When we consider that smoking is a coping mechanism helping to alleviate anxiety, when stopped without resolving what's causing the anxiety then a person is more likely to eat or drink more and to deal with this may also exercise more and usually does. There's a much bigger picture to consider other than the justifications given here. Also, that smoking alone doesn't kill the smoker, if it did then everyone who smoked would die from smoking. Emotional repression plays a major role too especially when this leads to social isolation and a lack of emotional support. But I smoke a little each day so perhaps I'm biased?
So cognitive dissonance is making excuses to continue doing something bad? Is that also being 'in denial'? or are they different? Sorry, I've been hearing about cognitive dissonance for a while now, and am still having trouble fully understanding its meaning
Hey there. Cognitive dissonance is when you hold two believes at the same time, such as the smoking example in the video. We believe that smoking is bad, and yet we also think that we are not smoking enough to cause any real harm. In this example, the cognitive dissonance arrises between "smoking is bad" and "I don't smoke enough for it to be bad". The excuses or rationalizations that we come up with are simply an attempt to rid ourselves from the discomfort. Denial is different because the person does not accept reality, saying something such as "smoking is good for you".
Feeling pressured to buy into the hysteria of Covid by news, media, government and peers when it was not congruent to the reality around me made me feel conflicted.I feel better for not giving in. No cognitive dissonace here, thanks.
Well, you know you shouldn't let others influence you, but you do it anyway. Just like how one knows that smoking is bad, but does it anyway. Let's say you're in a group of friends that want to vandalize something. You know you shouldn't do it, you know that vandalism is bad, but you tell yourself that you won't do it again, that no one is going to get hurt, that people have done worse things, that it's just for fun, and the list can go on.
it's how it can lead to cognitive dissonance. you can smoke to get yourself killed and suffer. that would not be cognitive dissonance. the video was pretty clear with the point it was making, i suggest watching again
@@teoguurrrlll7689 HELLO! this is propaganda. Society *requires* others' infuence øn us. Smoking- like random sex- is not inherently bad or good, but potentialy both risky and pleasant.
Evidence that one of my comments in a youtube comments section has triggered a collective (unconscious) cognitive dissonance is that everyone ignores it.
lol, first you were trying to minimize the discomfort caused by knowing smoking is bad and then you were trying to minimize the discomfort that Covid brings, i have a question, when u know that you are not at risk, u do not need a vaccine, yet you feel pressured to take the vaccines just because everyone is doing it would you call that cognitive dissonance and would u try to reason on it and bring your arguments through your behaviour , words or actions to minimize the discomfort u feel that all the crackpots are just conforming just because they could never experience this "dissonance"
You know that cognitive dissonance isn't a bad thing right? EVERYONE experiences it. Decisions made because of it can range from good to bad to neutral...none of this is pushing an agenda
Yeah. The narrator certainly seemed to be trying to assuage his cognitive dissonance at being a gullible, gutless lickspittle who took the jab like a sheep.
Mental Addiction V/s Dissonance know the difference / yes the act itself is contradictory but the very cause of that smokers dilemma is not because of a bad logical reasoning. The smoker knows that smoking is bad for health but unfortunately he is helpless to stop himself from smoking due to addiction, peer pressure and satisfaction of pleasure... No bad logical reasoning involved here... Only helplessness ! Replace this example with sugary cola cans instead of tobacco sticks. So what if Leon Festinger wrote it, can't it be an erroneous example ? Stop that "appeal to authority" argument.
You know what peer pressure looks like? Letting go of questions, thoughts and knowledge that that put into question the mainstream narrative of the virus because people will see you as crazy.
I don't smoke or vape, but you kinda made a huge leap in logic right out of the gate. In elementary school, they explain that smoking is bad because there is so much tar, chemicals and carcinogens In cigarettes, nicotine is just the psychoactive and addictive substance. Why would you say "we know smoking is bad so why do we still consume nicotine?!"? That's like saying "we know arsenic is bad, so why do we still consume food!?"
OP"s interpretation appears to deny any legit positive motivations FOR smoking. Our arguments for smoking, are just that- argumentative. We smoke bc we enjoy it. No need to rationalize it. A N D we also love arguing, simply bc its pleasurable- and 100% tolerated in capitalist cultures
@Just You can't say you love animals yet then knowingly fund industrialized animal agriculture that abuses them, even knowing there's healthy alternatives, simply because it's "yummy," that's absolutely a case of major cognitive dissonance

@@ConstantlyGrowingMind i stopped smoking after 7 months of smoking cigarettes, now currently vaping since april this year right after stopping cigarettes. my tongue was always burned and i had mucus stuck in my throat. it all cleared up but now i'm stuck on vaping. how long did it take for you to eliminate nicotine cravings?
As far as the cognitive dissonance represented by the thumbnail goes since he didn't address it in the video, I want to address as someone who loves steak why that's absolutely cognitive dissonance. We might say cows, chickens, and other livestock were selectively bred, that's to say basically made for human consumption, and that's absolutely true. But they're still very much capable of experiencing emotions and pain, and so if we have the resources available to us to eat healthily without meat now, then the questions shouldn't even be is the cow made for us to eat, or if its life is equally valuable to a dog let alone a human, etc, simply is that cows life ethically worth more or less than the pleasure our taste buds. Or in the case of industrialized agriculture, we're not just talking about a life then painless death to feed the demand for it, because they're not exactly living happily on green pastures. Meat and animal products in general have already been proven to be totally unnecessary for a healthy diet in the modern day with many dieticians organizations officially stating vegan diets to be healthy for all stages of life. So for those of us that live in a place with enough money where the alternatives are available to us, can we really justify the continued funding of torturous conditions for other thinking and feeling mammals just because it pleasures our taste buds, or because we're paying someone else to do it behind walls out of sight and out of mind? This is why I stopped eating my steaks and why while not totally vegan I am mostly and becoming increasingly plant based. It's undeniable that this is a very real problem and I just can't justify continuing to fund something so harmful just for my own pleasure. For anyone living in a developed country such as the US, that isn't either too terribly poor to afford to be picky, or suffering from a health condition allergies or eating disorders that prevents it, there is a very real conflict between the supposed values of most of opposition to animal cruelty yet the purely voluntary continued funding of industrialized animal agriculture purely for our own enjoyment.
