正如 L. Festinger（1957）所说，社会群体是认知失调的根源，也是减少认知失调的工具。也就是说，群体中其他人的分歧会产生不和谐，而随后朝着群体共识迈进会减少这种负面紧张。作者进行了三项研究来证明群体引起的不和谐。首先，与其他表面上不同意他们的人在一起的学生比那些与其他人表面上同意他们的人在一起的学生经历了更大的不和谐不适。研究2表明，过去研究中失调的标准调节因素——缺乏选择和自我肯定的机会，同样减少了因群体分歧而产生的失调不适。在研究3中，通过各种人际策略来达成共识，包括说服他人，减少了由群体分歧引起的不和谐。改变自己的立场，加入一个态度志趣相投的团体。
As L. Festinger (1957) argued, the social group is a source of cognitive dissonance as well as a vehicle for reducing it. That is, disagreement from others in a group generates dissonance, and subsequent movement toward group consensus reduces this negative tension. The authors conducted 3 studies to demonstrate group-induced dissonance. In the first, students in a group with others who ostensibly disagreed with them experienced greater dissonance discomfort than those in a group with others who agreed. Study 2 demonstrated that standard moderators of dissonance in past research-lack of choice and opportunity to self-affirm, similarly reduced dissonance discomfort generated by group disagreement. In Study 3, the dissonance induced by group disagreement was reduced through a variety of interpersonal strategies to achieve consensus, including persuading others. changing one's own position, and joining an attitudinally congenial group.
