How subjects probably reduced this dissonance


Problem: Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) performed an experiment in which subjects were asked to lie to a "fellow student" for either $1 or $20. For subjects in the $1 condition, dissonance was created by the cognitions "I am an ethical person" and "I have told a lie." Based on the results of this study, which of the following statements best expresses how subjects probably reduced this dissonance? Group of answer choices "I did not really tell a lie-what I said is quite true." "Though I told that person a lie and I know it, what she doesn't know won't hurt her." "Lying is a terrible thing." "I guess I'm not really a very ethical person at all." Need Assignment Help?
