Cognitive Dissonance can be defined as the state of having inconsistent
thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions
and attitude change. In psychology, cognitive dissonance can be defined as the
mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more
contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, performs an action
that is contradictory to one or more beliefs, ideas or values, or is confronted
by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values. The current issues related to admission to colleges
or universities may relate in part to cognitive dissonance. The mental stress caused
by the dissonance can be reduced by the person exaggerating the desirability of
the goal or that the end justifies the means.
