Suppose Harold is in a long-term, romantic relationship but chooses to flirt with someone else. He experiences dissonance because he sees himself as loving and trustworthy, and his flirtatious behavior is incongruent with that self-perception. According to research on self-affirmation theory, how could Harold reduce his dissonance? (A) He could say, "Hey, at least I'm doing good work volunteering at the homeless shelter" (assuming that being a good volunteer is important to him). (B) He could confess to his romantic partner about what he did. (C) He could say to himself, "I'm really an idiot, I shouldn't do that again." (D) He could say to himself, "I guess I'm not all that trustworthy a person."
