BS 175 Carol Tavris explains Cognitive Dissonance

This extremely timely episode of Brain Science
features an interview with Dr. Carol Tavris, co-author of the
newly released third edition of Mistakes Were Made (but Not by
Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful
Acts. Cognitive Dissonance was actually discovered back in 1956
and it is one of the most well-replicated phenomena in
experimental psychology. It  also impacts many aspects of
our lives, including politics, which is why I am grateful to have
Dr. Tavris back on the podcast to help us explore this
fascinating, but also disturbing topic.
