Answer:

C) agrees to give the speech without special incentives.

Explanation:

<u>Cognitive distance theory refers to the situation when there is conflict thinking and conflicted beliefs involved, which can result in mental discomfort. </u>

In this situation, the dissonance is between Lisa's beliefs against capital punishment, and the stance she has to take in the debate.

By the theory, in the case of dissonance, <u>the belief change and the long last effect is mostly possible if a person has a small incentive</u>. External inducements usually cause people to justify behavior. Also, the beliefs sound more sincere when there is no external gain behind it, but rather when it seems like a person is expressing authentic opinions.

Answer:

The correct answer is c) Agrees to give the speech without special incentives.

Explanation:

The theory of cognitive dissonance refers to the struggle of people to maintain consistency between their beliefs and their behavior.

Usually, when people feel that their beliefs are not following their behavior there is an emotional conflict, the person experiences anxiety, and tension about the situation. This leads to defending their beliefs or self-deception to avoid the emotional distress caused by cognitive dissonance.

To avoid dissonance the person must be sure of their beliefs, for example in the case of Lisa, she is against the death penalty, but by giving the speech to complete her debate, she can avoid reducing her dissonance if she is clear her beliefs, also if she receives a special incentive for her speech.
