Cognitieve dissonantie is de onaangename spanning die iemand ervaart bij tegenstrijdige overtuigingen, ideeën of opvattingen of bij handelen in strijd met de eigen overtuiging. In zijn boek A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance uit 1957 stelde Leon Festinger dat mensen streven naar het verkleinen van dissonantie en daarvoor hun opvattingen of gedrag aanpassen.
