McFalls, Elisabeth L.; Cobb-Roberts, Deirdre
Journal of Teacher Education, v52 n2 p164-72 Mar-Apr 2001
Applied the principals of cognitive dissonance theory to an instructional strategy used to reduce resistance to the idea of white privilege, comparing groups of college students in diversity education courses that did and did not receive supplemental instruction on cognitive dissonance. Incorporating cognitive dissonance theory created an awareness of dissonance and has the potential to reduce resistance to diversity issues. (SM)
