Cognitive Dissonance

The uncomfortable tension we feel when holding two contradictory beliefs at the same time.

The less you know about something, the more confident you're likely to feel about it.

We punish the contradiction between someone's stated values and their behaviour more harshly than we punish the behaviour alone.
