認知的不協和とは「自分が認知していることに2つの矛盾する考えや行動がある場合にストレスを感じる」ことを表した心理用語です。例えば、「タバコを吸いたい」という認知と「タバコは身体に悪い」という2つの認知がある場合、「タバコを吸う」欲求と「タバコは吸ってはいけない」という考えに矛盾が生じるため、ストレスを感じるわけです。
人は、この認知的不協和を解消するために、自分にとって都合が良いように行為を正当化します。この行動を、アメリカの心理学者レオン・フェスティンガーは「認知的不協和理論」として提唱しました。
前述したタバコの例でいえば「タバコを吸うのは頭をスッキリさせるためだ」「タバコを吸っていると格好いい」などと考えることで、自分の中で矛盾を解消します。簡単な言葉で表すなら「つじつま合わせ」や「自己正当化」と言ってもいいでしょう。
