Cognitive dissonance occurs when a person holds two conflicting thoughts or when behaviour does not match beliefs. This creates psychological tension. People usually try to reduce this discomfort by changing their attitude, modifying their behaviour or finding explanations that make the inconsistency seem more acceptable.
