Dissonance Theory Psychological Theories Haslam I 53
Dissonance theory/psychological theories: Aronson and Mills (1959)(1) systematically varied how onerous an initiation process was in order to join a group. They predicted and found that people liked the group better the more they suffered to join it. In later research, Aronson and Carlsmith (1962)(2) showed that the effects of threats and punishments offered to children for refraining from behaving in a desired activity were also governed by the same dissonance rules. When children were warned not to play with an attractive toy and did not play with this toy, they showed more permanent attitude change by devaluing the attractive toy if they received a lower rather than higher threat. The higher the threat, the less effective was the threat on their attitudes. These studies focused on hedonic rewards and reinforcements to make dissonance theory predictions that seemed to defy common wisdom and the reinforcement notions that underlay them. >Cognitive Dissonance/Festinger.
VsDissonance theory: Some flaws in the dissonance theory were found by Chapanis and Chapanis 1964(3) and Rosenberg 1965(4).
The theory has been restored and broadened by Linder et al. (1967)(5).
>Cognitive Dissonance/psychological theories, >Group behavior, >Groupthink, >Group cohesion.
