| 30. THE MORE UNCERTAIN PEOPLE ARE, THE MORE THEY DEFEND THEIR IDEAS | Cognitive Dissonance is when one has two ideas that conflict with each other and people try to get rid of that disagreement. |
| There are two ways to get rid of this dissonance: change of belief or deny one of the ideas. | When a person is forced to defend an idea that they did not believe in, the person tends to change their own belief in order to fit the new idea. |
| Another reaction when people are not forced to believe in something that opposes their own belief, the tendency is to deny the new information. | And if people are less certain, they will dig in and argue harder on what they stand for. |
