This is the reason/bottom line as to why certain people continue or choose to be ignorant of certain proven facts; possibly when you read the following...just maybe you know a few people yourself that exhibits this type of unacceptable personality behavior and unfortunately; because their unwillingness to learn/accept what has been presented to them and make the appropriate attitude change in their way of thinking, their decision making will possibly have a negative effect/serious impact on others. Cognitive Dissonance: Mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The concept was introduced by the psychologist Leon Festinger (1919–89) in the late 1950s. He and later researchers showed that, when confronted with challenging new information, most people seek to preserve their current understanding of the world by rejecting, explaining away, or avoiding the new information or by convincing themselves that no conflict really exists. Cognitive dissonance is nonetheless considered an explanation for attitude change.
