It’s always a treat to go back and read the original source for a theory. The chapters that presented the nuances of the theory were 5 stars. The chapters with the research that supported the theory weren’t as impressive. Festinger’s interpretations of others’ research wasn’t very clear. It would be fantastic if someone could update the research chapters with newer research that supports the theory.

Not one of the easiest books I have ever read but it was highly interesting. I don't know exactly what I was expecting but there were a lot of studies that were outlined in detail. For me, those were hard to read through. But all-in-all I am glad I read the book. I had a limited understanding of cognitive dissonance when I started, but after reading, I realize the magnitude of the scope cognitive dissonance plays on our behavior and thoughts. If you start looking at the cognitive elements of your own or others, and start looking at the dissonant relationship between those elements, I think you can start to understand why change is so hard for people.

Una teoría que aporta mucho al entendimiento de, por ejemplo, la situación de pandemia Covid en la que vivimos este 2020.
Es muy teórico, pero aplicable. Una lectura esencial dentro del área.
:D
