Understanding Defensive Reactions and Cognitive Dissonance
In this episode of PsyberSpace, host Leslie Poston delves into the psychological triggers of defensive reactions when personal beliefs are challenged, often manifested in viral 'Karen' incidents. Poston explores cognitive dissonance, introduced by Leon Festinger, as the discomfort arising from holding contradictory beliefs, and how this leads to defensive behaviors rather than introspection or change. The episode discusses the role of cognitive processes and social identity theory in contributing to these reactions, emphasizing the impact of factors like confirmation bias, societal and cultural expectations, and privilege. Through real-world examples and psychological research, the discussion highlights the importance of understanding these dynamics in both personal growth and society-wide coherence. The episode also suggests strategies such as meditation, emotional regulation skills, and community dialogues to mitigate defensive reactions and foster a more inclusive, empathetic society.
