An Analysis of Festinger's Cognitive Dissonance Theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2022
Abstract
An axiomatization of the theory is presented based on an explication of the 1957 text. Twenty-five theorems are deduced from the seven postulates. An abstract test space for the theory is formulated and the operations for its practical testing discussed. Traditional experimentation with the theory seems generally concerned with few of its propositions and incapable of testing it.
