After spending a lot of time researching vehicles, Linda makes a purchase. After owning the vehicle for several months, she experiences dissonance and wonders if her choice was right. According to dissonance theory, we would expect Linda to reduce her dissonance by _____ the chosen vehicle and _____ the unchosen vehicles.

Answer :

Adematae

Answer:

Upgrading the chosen vehicle

Downgrading the unchosen vehicle

Explanation:

The term dissonance is used to describe the feelings of discomfort that result when your beliefs run counter to your behaviors and/or new information that is presented to you.People tend to seek consistency in their attitudes and perceptions, so when what you hold true is challenged or what you do doesn't jibe with what you think, something must change in order to eliminate or reduce the dissonance (lack of agreement) and that's why she has to upgrade the chosen vehicle and downgrade the unchosen one.
