When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. We create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right-- a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong. Backed by years of research, this study offers an explanation of self-deception-- how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it. 650 0 $a Cognitive dissonance. 650 0 $a Self-deception. 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY $x Social Psychology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cognitive dissonance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00866528 650 7 $a Self-deception. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111566 700 1 $a Aronson, Elliot, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013204.0 952 $l I6OX771 $d 20220719011243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B633A10E66C11E99CD11AFC96128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
