大多数研究认知不和谐的动机特征的实证研究都集中在不和谐的唤醒成分，而不是L.Festinger(1957)明确描述的心理成分。在两个诱导顺从实验中，使用了情感的自我报告测量，以证明不和谐被体验为心理不适，并且这种心理不适在实施不和谐减少策略-态度改变时得到缓解。实验1为这两个命题提供了支持证据。实验二重复了第一个实验，并排除了基于自我知觉的另一种解释来解释实验一中的不和谐现象。这两个实验的结果有力地支持了Festinger关于认知不和谐是一种根本的动机状态的概念。
Most empirical research investigating the motivational properties of cognitive dissonance has focused on the arousal component of dissonance rather than on the psychological component explicitly delineated by L. Festinger (1957). In 2 induced-compliance experiments, a self-report measure of affect was used to demonstrate that dissonance is experienced as psychological discomfort and that this psychological discomfort is alleviated on implementation of a dissonance-reduction strategy, attitude change. Experiment 1 yielded supporting evidence for both of these propositions. Experiment 2 replicated the 1st experiment and ruled out a self-perception-based alternative explanation for the dissonance-reduction findings in Experiment 1. Results from the 2 experiments strongly support Festinger's conceptualization of cognitive dissonance as a fundamentally motivational state.
