- Cognitive dissonance is “the rejection of factual information or reality because it does not conform to previously held beliefs. . . ."
- In popular usage, it can be associated with the tendency for people to resist information that they don't want to think about, because if they did it would create cognitive dissonance, and perhaps require them to act in ways that depart from their comfortable habits. They usually have at least partial awareness of the information, without having moved to full acceptance of it, and are thus in a state of denial about it. Studies have not so far detected any gender or cross-cultural differences.

| - "Cognitive Dissonance" is a fancy word created by Psychics to confound and confuse people by making up stuff that contradicts what people already know and believe. It is the psychological equivalent to "Cutting and Running".
- Cognitive dissonance is “the rejection of factual information or reality because it does not conform to previously held beliefs. . . ."
- In popular usage, it can be associated with the tendency for people to resist information that they don't want to think about, because if they did it would create cognitive dissonance, and perhaps require them to act in ways that depart from their comfortable habits. They usually have at least partial awareness of the information, without having moved to full acceptance of it, and are thus in a state of denial about it. Studies have not so far detected any gender or cross-cultural differences. Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance focuses on how humans strive for internal consistency. When inconsistency (dissonance) is experienced, individuals tend to become psychologically uncomfortable and they are motivated to attempt to reduce this dissonance, as well as actively avoiding situations and information which are likely to increase it.
