This paper examines cognitive dissonance, a theory put forward by Leon Festinger, to explain how behaviour can affect formation of attitudes. His study is examined, as well as others which support and refute his theory. Other theories put forward are also critically analysed, in the process of deciding how effective cognitive dissonance is as an explanation of certain behaviours.
