Cognitive dissonance 1: An overview of the literature and its integration into theory and practice in clinical psychology

Abstract: The literature supports the existence of the phenomenon termed cognitive dissonance, and one can distil the principles underlying its production, maintenance and reduction. This body of literature may provide insights into the conduct of therapy generally, as well as into the mechanisms of specific therapies which may guide modifications or development of alternative interventions.

“…Our analyses suggest that motivational interviewing might highlight concerns (with the reduction in satisfaction between baseline and 12 months) but also facilitate the patients' perception that they had the capacity to make changes that in turn would lead to reduction in A1C. One possible theoretical explanation for these results could be taken from the work by Draycott and Dabbs (23,24), who mapped the principles of cognitive dissonance onto the principles and method of motivational interviewing. The method of motivational interviewing incorporates the principle of "deploying discrepancy" in which the patients' core values and personal aspirations are contrasted, through empathic listening, with the behavioral problem under discussion.…”

“…This may indicate that patients treated with PCA experience the direct control of morphine administration to be more important than patients in the control group, despite similar pain intensity scores in the two groups. An alternative explanation for this finding may be ''post decision justification bias'' [21]. This is a cognitive adaptation mechanism by which patients justify the way they were managed.…”
