I haven't a one favorite expert in psychology but I remember a autor called Leon Festinger because he make a great theory about the cognitions.
Leon Festinger(May 08, 1919 – Feb 11, 1989) was born in Nueva York, United States .
He Studied psychology at the University of Iowa and after this he served as teacher at the same university.
Festinger specialized in the Social Area of psychology and he works in interesting studies about this area.
I like Festinger because he revolutionized the field of social psychology and his theories have been multiple applications in cognitive studies related to motivation,
decision making among others.
"Theory of Cognitive Dissonance" was a his high succes, in this theory Leon raises that when there is a contradiction between what we do and what we think it causes a cognitive dissonance and that human beings try to solve this with a series of adaptive mechanisms that we resolve the contradiction.
oh, do you like the social area of psichology?
ReplyDeleteI think that is interesting and beautiful, the social area is one of the thinks with few resourses...and it is bad.
