The article chosen on cognitive dissonance does a good job defining it, breaking it down to understand relationships between cognitions, dissonance, paradigm, while simultaneously providing great examples in each paragraph. The article chosen is pretty extensive, however, there are some opportunities you can take advantage of. The article doesn't really highlight the influence of cultural factors that can also play a part in one's perception of contradictory information. Also, the article addresses predictive dissonance, but what about post-decision? Can cognitive dissonance appear after making decisions contradictory decisions; I would think one might regret their decision or if they find information that goes against what that person decided. You can even take it a step further and relate cognitive dissonance to how it effects consumer behavior (ie. a person makes a purchase because of marketing influence, but new information after the purchase suggests they made the wrong choice).
