In psychology, cognitive dissonance happens when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values, or participates in an action that goes against one of these, either his believes, ideas or values, and experiences psychological stress because of that. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent psychologically.
