Harmon-Jones & Mills thoroughly take the reader from the beginning of CDT through those major revisions that have received empirical support all the way to today. The sampling of authors is wonderful and Harmon-Jones doesn't push his revision and instead he & Mills fairly offer all of the relevant alternatives. Importantly, Mills is particularly respectful to Festinger which is often missing in much of the newer writing. Get this one- it's a steal & you'll find all that you need re CDT within! My dissertation is on CDT and this is one source that I continually return to.

The book provides the most up-to-date consideration of Leon Festinger's Theory of Cognitive Dissonance (1957). It contains chapters written by an international group of well-established scientists who study cognitive dissonance processes. It is a must read for anyone interested in the relationship between cognition, emotion, attitudes, and behavior.

This book goes into the mechanics of cognitive dissonance, and offers multiple studies varying aspects of the issue. A very good read for any researcher looking to understand the psychology of motivation. Well written and logical.
