Absence du changement d'attitude consécutif à l'ajout d'une cognition consonante non justificatrice : nouvel apport pour le paradigme de la double soumission induite

In the double forced compliance paradigm, attitude change does not appear any more after adding one cognition, which is consonant with the problematic behavior and justifies it. In our research, we have tested if adding one cognition which is only consonant with the problematic behavior affected the attitude change. Participants realized a counter-attitudinal essay in choice condition or in no-choice condition. After its completion, only half of the participants read their arguments. Reading was one cognition consonant with the problematic behavior without justifying it. In post-experimental phase, the attitude was measured. Our results showed that participants after reading their essay did not change their attitude any more. Our results specify the absence of attitude change in the paradigm of double compliance.
