Já, fínt Idol partí í gær og góðar veitingar og góð stemming. Ánni og Hjölli horfðu tveir saman á undanúrslitin, fyrir viku síðan, og eftir það hafði Hjölli tröllatrú á þeim manni sem Ánni hélt með og spurning hvort þetta eigi ekki vel við:
In the 1950’s Leon Festinger at Stanford University put forward the concept of cognitive dissonance. The theory suggests that when one belief system or pattern of behavior (cognition) that we have conflicts with another we change the weak cognition to conform with the stronger one. We see this in Aesop’s famous fable about the fox and the grapes. The grapes are out of reach and so the fox decides that they must be sour, thus relieving himself of anxiety over not being able to have any.
