Cognitive Dissonance and Reappraisal
The discomfort of holding conflicting beliefs, and the reappraisal strategies minds reach for to resolve it.
Festinger's foundational finding — that humans tolerate conflict poorly and will distort evidence before abandoning identity-anchored beliefs — is the experiential signature of conditioning running into contradiction. The LHS Lens sees dissonance as a detection signal, not a flaw; the discipline is to name the contradiction rather than smooth it.
