What are the 3 steps involved? 50) How does Inoculation Theory work in protecting attitudes from persuasion? 51) Describe the “jigsaw” classroom. 52) Define Cognitive Dissonance. How does the concept work? 53) Explain Festinger and Carlsmith’s classic cognitive dissonance study. 54) Explain the term “spreading of alternatives” or postdecision dissonance. 55) How does Bem’s self-perception theory differ from Festinger’s in regard to cognitive dissonance? 56) Describe the “Ben Franklin” effect. 57) Compare and contrast self-affirmation theory, impact bias, justification of effort, insufficient punishment, and self-persuasion as means to rationalize our behavior and decisions.
