4.9 Cognitive Clarification Part 2 (Refreshed File)

Today we'll examine how Marsha Brantley dealt with cognitive inconsistencies when she wrote in her blog, as well as how she wrote about Donnie and her marriage. The words chosen by someone can reveal much about the mental state. Sometimes it is looking at their specifically chosen words, sometimes it is looking at the themes revealed in their words, and sometimes it is looking at word choices they probably wouldn’t have consciously chosen, but show subconscious thoughts.

Pouring through the blog, there is a lot of evidence of Marsha engaging in lowering her cognitive dissonance.
