agreed

I agree that Linux/MS products isn't a good example and would not necessarily appear in a text book.

Dissonance in the brain

I've included a "cognitive dissonance in the brain" section, which might be interesting to some readers. Additions/comments are welcome. --Efb18 5:58, 16 Dec 2009

References section

I've corrected a few minor errors in the references section, and included links to urls for a number of peer-reviewed articles. I've also applied APA style where necessary. Corrections are welcome. --Efb18 3:43, 10 Jan 2010

The Great BYUIdaho Wiki Edit of 2019

The college student who edited this page for his psychology course, user Cranein, is a moron (or is it Mormon? Someone correct my spelling) and writes like he's in the 7th grade. It looks like he vandalised this and several other pages with the knowledge (and consent?) of user Ian, a 'Wikipedia Expert.' How is this acceptable? Is this really how wikipedia works?

Anyway, most of his garbage has been taken out, but someone ought to remove the travesty that is the "Contradictions to the theory" section. And maybe require prospective editors to pass some sort of English test. Thanks, that's all.

Just-world hypothesis

I'm a bit surprised that on this page, the just-world hypothesis isn't mentioned, and on that page, cognitive dissonance isn't mentioned. Isn't there a strong relation between these two phenomena? Laurier (xe or they) (talk) 20:50, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
