How would you explain the meaning of 'cognitive dissonance' in Spanish?
I'm learning Spanish and dabbling in explaining more difficult terminologies. I am wondering how you would explain the meaning of cognitive dissonance in Spanish to a Spanish speaker? This is in terms of human conflict/psychology.

Answer

the translation of "cognitive dissonance" is "disonancia congnitiva". I am not a psychologist, so I cannot make a description of that mental situation. Maybe you can find an article on internet.
For example the following article helped me to understand a bit more that. It is written in Spanish.
