Based on the theory of leon festinger, the state of conflict that someone experiences after taking an action, making a decision, or being exposed to information that is contrary to his or her beliefs is known

Cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

The term Cognitive Dissonance was first introduced by Leon Festinger and it refers to what happens when a person has two or more contradictory beliefs or ideas and experiences psychological stress because of that. In other words, when two ideas are opposite to each other, the person will experience stress and will try to reduce this difference to reduce their discomfort. This usually happens when new evidence contradicts the person previous belief and it creates stress (cognitive dissonance).

Therefore, the state of conflict that someone experiences after taking an action, making a decision, or being exposed to information that is contrary to his or her beliefs is known as cognitive dissonance.
