  • Summary

  • This research paper examines how individuals' actions can influence their attitudes, specifically in political contexts. The authors propose a theoretical framework based on cognitive dissonance theory, which posits that individuals experience mental discomfort when their actions conflict with their beliefs. This dissonance motivates them to adjust their attitudes to align with their behaviors. The paper explores this phenomenon in three key areas: the development of partisanship, the emergence of ethnic or racial hostility, and the influence of empathy and socialization on attitude change. The authors use mathematical models to demonstrate how actions like voting, committing violence, or interacting with people from different backgrounds can shape individuals' political and social preferences over time.
