Indexed Notes by Topic

Cognitive Dissonance

Example:

  1. Switch the contents of Pepsi and Coke cans, and people will stick with the brand they prefer, despite the flavor.

Insights:

  1. Once we make up our mind about what is right, we ignore contrary information for as long as we can.
  2. Cognitive dissonance creates biases that marketers can exploit to their advantage.
