📢 Cognitive dissonance multi-lab results! doi.org/10.1177/2515... I was part of a team (39 labs🌍) testing the induced compliance paradigm of cognitive dissonance. We assessed attitudes toward a tuition raise in 4,898 students. ~2 weeks later, we had them write an essay📝 and reassessed attitudes...

Students either wrote about the benefits of raising tuition (counter-attitudinal)🔄, or about other educational policies they think should be discussed (neutral) . Of those who wrote about raising tuition, some were told writing was totally optional (high-choice) while others were not (low-choice).
