32. Conducted research on cognitive dissonance Festinger & CarlsmithExperiment

33. In this famous experiment, students were asked to spend an hour on boring task (which gave them a negative attitude) They were asked to talk to another subject and persuade them that the tasks were interesting and engaging. Some participants were paid lots of $ and some were paid little $. When asked to rate the boring tasks those in the $1 group rated them more positively than those in the $20 and control groups. This is evidence of cognitive dissonance. The researchers theorized that people experienced dissonance between the conflicting cognitions, "I told someone that the task was interesting", and "I actually found it boring." When paid only $1, students were forced to internalize the attitude they were induced to express, because they had no other justification. Those in the $20 condition, however, had an obvious external justification for their behavior, and thus experienced less dissonance.
