Answer:

cognitive dissonance

Step-by-step explanation:

Getting contradictory ideas, opinions or behaviors, in particular as they relate to behavioral choices and change in attitude is referred to cognitive dissonance.

Cognitive dissonance is when one has several or even more conflicting views, beliefs or principles or is engaged in an activity that runs counter to one of these three and is subjected to psychological distress just because of that.

Andrea is experiencing cognitive dissonance because she is not sure if her husband would agree on her plans.
