Topic 9.7
How does the concept of cognitive dissonance, derived from social psychology, influence interpersonal attraction?
Cognitive dissonance causes people only to be attracted to those who are significantly different from them.
People may be attracted to those who share similar beliefs and attitudes in order to avoid the discomfort of holding conflicting views.
People experiencing cognitive dissonance are incapable of forming long-term relationships due to constant conflict.
Individuals with high levels of cognitive dissonance cannot experience interpersonal attraction.
