Which of the following statements are incorrect?
In theory of attitude, cognitive dissonance arises when
(i) two personalities are not aligned to each other.
(ii) two attitudes of a person are inconsistent.
(iii) attitude and behaviour of an individual are inconsistent.
(iv) two behaviours of a person are consistent.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The incorrect statements are that cognitive dissonance arises from two personalities being unaligned and from two behaviours being consistent. Cognitive dissonance concerns inconsistency within a person's cognitions, including inconsistent attitudes or a mismatch between attitude and behaviour. Consistency between behaviours does not create this dissonance.
