Answer:
The correct answer is Cognitive dissonance theory.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cognitive dissonance theory states that all individuals have an inner psychological motivation or drive to align their attitudes with their behaviors.
For example, if a person firmly believes that drinking alcohol is bad for their health but continues to drink occasionally, cognitive dissonance will arise.
When the dissonance arises the person either change their behavior (Quit drinking) or modify their attitudes toward the behavior (Drinking is not that bad) for the dissonance to disappear
In conclusion, the theory that says that peope are motivated to make attitudinal changes when they experience tension after becoming aware of inconsistencies between their attitudes or between their attitudes and their behaviors is called: Cognitive dissonance theory.
