2. Students are attracted to science headlines with conflict of views<br><br>The social psychologist Festinger (1957) first proposed the cognitive dissonance theory, the main point of which is that individuals have a tendency to maintain psychological balance. In most cases, the inner cognition is consistent with the external behavior, but when the two are not in agreement, it loses balance, making the individual feel nervous, thus creating an drive to eliminate the conflict that has resolved cognitive dissonance. There are two ways to solve cognitive dissonance: stick or change, that is, to insist that you are right or to admit that you are wrong (Yuan Zhengda, 2005). The former believes in the correctness of his own contrast, blaming the immediate conflict at the error of another person or environment, while the latter admits that he has made a mistake in his previous judgment or behavior and immediately corrects it to reduce the impact of the error.
