RE: Cognitive Dissonance: Rejecting Reality Because We Don't Like How it Feels

in #psychology7 years ago

Interesting and I agree with you. I'm sure everyone has experienced it, whether in childhood, teenagers or adults and even parents who can specifically say already have experience of life or termed a lot of eating salt life. In childhood, there is no right other than to obey his wishes or else we must get ready to hear a great cry. At the same time teenagers, something we are sometimes embarrassed to do but they feel proud to do it. At the age of childhood and adolescents are still considered to be still in the stage of the process of living and improving patterns fikir. But it is not the case with adults (especially parents) that sometimes the pattern fikirnya more to self-justification (not the truth), but there are also in certain conditions (forced) to do so. Usually things are also conditional, the influence of power (position, wealth and also ability) that give rise to excessive selfishness. Feeling his power is able to justify his thinking, his behavior and his actions. In my opinion, it is all selfishness (justifying itself to cover its shortcomings)
