Insko, Chester; And Others
Psychological Review, 82, 3, 169-83, May 75
The central thesis of the present article is that balance theory (Heider, 1946, 1958) or affective-cognitive consistency theory (Rosenberg, 1956, 1965; Rosenberg & Abelson, 1960) provides a framework that can be used to account for all dissonance results . (Author/RK)
