Cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

Cognitive dissonance theory was proposed by Leon Fe-stinger. The cognitive dissonance theory refers to the situation which is related to the conflict between belief, behavior, and attitude. It is about to reduce the conflict between belief, thought, attitude and behavior of a person.
