Cognitive dissonance (Dissonant & Justified)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- A song on cognitive dissonance and self justification to help my students study for the upcoming AP exam. The song's lyric ideas were collaboratively created via a student written wiki from which I arranged and formatted into this song. I had help with the artwork as well with Allison Winslow contributing 'the dumped guy' and Victoria Banos contributing the fox and grapes.
Examples like these are the best. Want more examples? Check out Xamplr, it's a website I made for learning vocabulary via examples. It's got all the psychology vocab and about 500 collegiate vocab words ready for you to learn, practice and create. xamplr.com
Mr. Headley showed his psychology class this video...and now the song is stuck in my head and I will forever remember what cognitive dissonance is.
My teacher showed it to our class too
Same. In high school
Thank you, I learned more in that video than I did reading my college text book.
No, the video isn't asking people to blame themselves. But rather to understand that human beings have a tendency to avoid blaming themselves through justification.
fox and the grapes. it's a fable. relates to the phrase "sour grapes", when somebody doesn't get something they want, and they say "I didn't want it anyway" to feel better and reduce the uncomfortable dissonance.
I really enjoyed this simple but accurate description of cognitive dissonance my social psychology professor suggested us to watch this funny video before doing our weekly class forum.
I love how simply and clearly you explain CD and the justifications that allow people to continue doing or believing the same ideas. Would love to see a 2nd video about being presented with a belief that contradicts the previous one and then changing the behaviour this time to match the new idea....as opposed to justifying a bad habit.....just a thought....:)
I love this since years... I always remember and want to hear it again. And it fits perfectly in this time...
Thanks for this evergreen...
Best explanation of cognitive dissonance. Cool song.
10 years later, i still come back here when i want a refresher on this subject
Watched this in psych class....it won't leave my head....
The fox and the grapes is an Aesop fable... I know grapes don't grow on trees. Go tell that to Aesop!
I'm a cognitive science teacher and I think this is genius work
I saw this in social psychology 9 years ago and still remember it ❤
Always great to educate through song. Students take it in without a doubt. Pity Teachers who use use Music are up against other teachers that don't get it. keep up the good work.
Thank you! I was having a little trouble totally understanding the concept. Now I will remember forever!
Prof. Mojzisch... is that you?!^^
That made my day! Can't wait to see what else you've got on your site.
Catchy and a four minute summarization of my fatuous existence. Cheers.
professor showed this in class haha, its really good, song is stuck in my head this whole day, but how is the official song called?
I actually don't use the sour grapes analogy when I'm rejected by a girl. I can't have any idea of what the girl is like, and all I had was just an attraction of appearance in the first place. I could have been rejected by the best girl for me. Maybe I was the "best" for her. What might make her uncomfortable is if I say "You don't know me as a person." It's up to her if this phases her. And, of course, I don't know her personally, but I'm trying to. n the end, I dn't knw and she dosn't.
(2) On a serious note, what ever happened to good ol' fashioned reality?
i.e. "I'm a smoker. Yes, I know that smoking kills, but we are all appointed to die."
"She dumps me, and to be honest, I'm not the most handsome or coolest guy. It would be self-evident if I really was."
"My team lost because we all made too many mistakes that cost us."
"I can't reach the grapes because I was not meant to climb trees or jump very high."
"I hate boot camp. Every Marine hates boot camp!"
Don't grapes grow on vines?
Great job, I am going to listen to your song again a day before my exams!! Wonderful job!!
This is so entertaining and I want to use it for my presentation on cognitive dissonance, well done!
I really really thank you for this hard work to explain cognitive dissonance... amazing!
I like your "scrolling" words. I've never seen it done quite that way.
hilarious and informative. I know fully understand cognitive dissonance. thank you for this catchy song. I love it!!
My professor showed this in our social psychology lecture yesterday and now it’s stuck in my head xD
Thank you very much for sharing your video, that both makes the concept stick in the brain and it's so funny :)
I'm reading Elliot Aronson's book "The Social Animal" (for fun) and I was looking for additional examples of "cognitive dissonance" - yours are definitely the best I've found - thanks!
needed some clarity on the subject from my social psychology class team assignment, the song is a bit corny but helped me to understand better.
love it! going use it to explain to my classmate what it is and reference back to your channel...thanks so much
That's really good artwork
Thank you. This is great. This song helped me a lot my in academic research paper
Well said, but mostly the person afflicted has no idea it's happening. It's a paradox, almost like someone built on the desire of self deception, an innate ability to hold conflicting beliefs about something while never realizing it.
Wow, you just made that concept really easy to understand. Thank you.
IDK why, but I really enjoyed this, and I'm no psychologist...
This is honestly so cool!!!
Downloading to ipod!
I'll sing my way through my exams!!
Thank you so much i have a Test tomorrow really helped!
Great work! This is going to be very helpful for my class!! :) Thanks!
My new favorite video ❤️
helpful for understanding what it is
Thank you for this incredibly enjoyable video!
At least we know what the fox says!!!! "I WANT GRAPES!"
Wonderful, and amazing, thanks for clarifying the long struggling concept;)
AMAZINGGG
Hilarious! I saw this in my psych class last night -- thought it was great! Nice job :)
What a great song!
I should try harder in relationships, tests and well there's always a way to get the grapes, also maybe Nicotine patches are better, (gum destroys the gut/your third mind,) JISTIFIED
The best!
This is a great clip!!!! You are AWESOME! ♥♥♥
Thank you so much!
if only i could study everything like this i would actually pass exams
Grapes don't grow on large ass trees, Dissonance, but this clip is great ;)
I'm justifying not studying for my exam that this is on even though I know I need to by saying that this counts as studying more than reviewing my notes...
That was so creative, congratulations :)
2:11 It's a bigger creator of stress
the fox wanted grapes but he couldnt reach.
This is really awesome
Thanks. You seem like an awesome teacher ! :)
I finally get it !
Awesome song dude
This is my jam
Best. Video. Ever.
I loved it! Thank you!
Freakin' Awesome!!
Great video!
LOVE IT. Great job! :)
Wow! You should have been my teacher.
I wish this song was on iTunes
Make more songs please!!!!!
I love it! What grade was this video created for? What does AP stand for? (I'm not a teacher and at 57 have been out of school for a long, long time. lol)
AP is Advanced Placement. It is a high school class with a test at the end that can get a student college credit. I teach grades 10-12. Glad you liked the video.
good job!!
Oh god thank you!
#Team Psychology

Nice video, great song, but grapes do not grow on a tree......
It comes from some parable or another where a they were said to be in a tree.
Thank you! :]
So is bad at the grammars but I still smart. Dissonence?
PYSZNE, SLAY
What do you mean by mental alibi? I think what your actually describing is denial - not cognitive dissonance. You can have cognitive dissonance without being in denial. Cognitive dissonance often happens when people are forced to contend with existential extremes or information that completely challenges their understanding of reality often the opposite ends of a spectrum of an argument. You have to wrap your mind around very complex subjects that force you to reevaluate what is normal or not normal which results in an awkward stage where you lose your "anchor" to reality. You then have to re-establish "norms." Cognitive dissonance can more colloquially be described as a mind-F***.
Robot Rebellion denial is Freud’s term for a piece of a psychological phenomenon that Festinger later explained more thoroughly through dissonance, self-justification and attitude formation. This song is mostly about the self-justification that many people use to relieve the cognitive dissonance within themselves. This book is a great read on it www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Dissonance-Years-Classic-Theory/dp/1412929725 as well as this one www.amazon.com/Mistakes-Were-Made-But-Not/dp/B004HQM5S8/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1528749798&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX194_SY279_QL65&keywords=mistakes+were+made+but+not+by+me&dpPl=1&dpID=31dEpbcb-1L&ref=plSrch
You get the jidst
greaT
dog trainers love this
grape tree.
what.
1:26 , ITS A TRAP!
Poor fox :'(
lol catchy
Satan in myself crazy
Should Adam and Eve eat the apple?
💖💖💖💖😈
I absolutely love this, but I do have some criticism("Dissonant!").
1) The marine shout is "oorah", there is no "H".
2) The characters representing ignorant and stupid ought to be switched, logically.
3) (More of a suggestion) At 3:29, sating "Semper Fi!" would've been a lot more humorous.
I don't even care about the grapes on a tree, honestly.
LOL
Lol
Great video!
