== 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. --[[User:Efb18|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. --[[User:Efb18|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.

== Proposal to move second paragraph of intro into 'Founder' section ==

I find the first paragraph of this article gives a good general overview, and then the second paragraph on Festinger's book jumps forward into details that need more context. I propose the paragraph on Festinger's book be moved to the section on Festinger (eg. after 3rd paragraph). [[User:Faff296|Faff296]] ([[User talk:Faff296|talk]]) 23:27, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

== Filling Content Gaps (Spring 2025) ==
I am a student working on this article for the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg.

My co-author and I didn't receive any Peer Reviews, so I'll talk about the content gap I plan to fill. I've noticed that this article doesn't include any research on women and feminism. I found an article about the effect of Cognitive Dissonance on feminism. It was written by Akane Kanai and Julia Coffey. They researched how the media has an effect on feminism and feelings of femininity. The authors explain how feminism has always been viewed as a way to go against the norms of society and patriarchy. Basically, I plan on using this article and others to study the effect that the media has on feminism and feminine ideals. Does the media complicate these feelings? What can be done to reduce the complications? What role does Cognitive Dissonance play in the complications, and can that be worked on?

Here is the DOI of the article: 10.1080/09502386.2023.2183971 

It is my goal to understand and help other readers understand how Cognitive Dissonance has a major effect on modern day life. Feminism has become a major topic in everyday life, the media, politics, and more. It is important for individuals who identify with feminist ideals to understand what the media can do for them, and how to avoid conflicting views and thoughts.

:Hi [[User:Marley0524|Marley0524]] and welcome to Wikipedia. I cannot access your article because I cannot log in to the Uni of Pittsburg. However, I must say that I am somewhat doubtful towards your endeavour. Cognitive dissonance is described as a mental phenomenon in which people unknowingly hold fundamentally conflicting cognitions.. This is quite a big step from "how feminism has always been viewed as a way to go against the norms of society and patriarchy." Are you sure that your article is about ''cognitive'' dissonance, and not just about dissonance?
:Also, your article sounds like a [[WP:primary source|primary source]]. Please avoid primary sources! [[User:Lova Falk|Lova Falk]] ([[User talk:Lova Falk|talk]]) 12:30, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

::Once again hi [[User:Marley0524|Marley0524]], and thank you for your answer. I haven't read your full article, but are you awere that nowhere in it the concept "cognitive dissonance" is mentioned? Actually, the word ''cognitive'' is not in the article at all. So it really does not look like you have found a good article for expanding the page Cognitive dissonance.

== Filling Content Gaps (Spring 2025) ==

I, alongside my co-author, am currently working on this article as a student at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. 

We unfortunately did not receive any peer reviews for this article, so I would like to explain my intentions on expanding the article. One thing I am looking to achieve is examining how cognitive dissonance affects electoral extremism. Here is one of the articles I am discussing in the revision: http://www.econ.illinois.edu/~skrasa/utility_externality.pdf

The three authors of the above mentioned piece study a model of electoral competition that incorporates two expressive benefits of candidate position taking: the psychological costs of deviating from one's own preferred policy and the psychological benefits of antagonizing an out-group. With the most recent 2024 election, I believe filling in the content gap of both more recent information as well as information regarding politics can enhance this article. With further development of cognitive dissonance's framework, methodologies and analyses enhance its effectiveness in explaining the inconsistencies in behaviors and attitudes.

:Hi  [[User:ParticleMan05|ParticleMan05]]! Please read: [[Wikipedia:No original research]]. So be careful! [[User:Lova Falk|Lova Falk]] ([[User talk:Lova Falk|talk]]) 07:15, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

== Deletion of "Anticipatory cognitive dissonance" section ==

I'm adding this note in case anyone has any question regarding the deletion of an entire section. Seeing the ''citation needed'' tags I searched Google Scholar for "Anticipatory cognitive dissonance" (with quotes) and got nothing, the same in my university's library catalog.
 
I also did a plain Google search with no results for the entire phrase, except this article and some that reference it.
