• Meaning in Life as Comprehension, Purpose, and Mattering: Toward Integration and New Research Questions (2016, background): “The model states that inconsistency in one’s cognitions generates dissonance or aversive arousal as discordant cognitions interfere with effective action (Harmon-Jones et al., 2009, 2010).”
• baCk To The fUTUre of DissonanCe Theory: CogniTive ConsisTenCy as a Core moTive (2012, background): “In line with pragmatic interpretations (Harmon-Jones et al., 2009; Quine & Ullian, 1978), I argue that cognitive consistency is much more fundamental and ubiquitous than suggested by reformulations of dissonance theory that attribute consistency-related phenomena to mechanisms of ego-defense (see…”
• The Five “A”s of Meaning Maintenance: Finding Meaning in the Theories of Sense-Making (2012, background): “…is reciprocally related to ACC activity (Nash, Inzlicht, & McGregor, 2012), is thought to be responsible for reducing dissonance in reaction to ACC-detected conflicts (Harmon-Jones et al., 2009), and is involved in resolving other “high-level” threats as well (McGregor, Nash, & Inzlicht, 2009).”
• Threat and defense: From anxiety to approach (2014, background): “merely palliative insofar as any eager commitment can restore approach motivation and thereby relieve distress (Harmon-Jones et al., 2009; McGregor, Prentice, & Nash, 2013a; Nash et al., 2011; Proulx et al., 2012).”
• A Review of Cognitive Dissonance Theory in Management Research (2017, background): “The action-based model of CDT further explains why individuals are motivated to reduce dissonance; this approach suggests dissonance motivates discrepancy reduction because unresolved dissonance interferes with effective action (Harmon-Jones et al., 2009).”
