Questions: Multiple Choice Question Identify a scenario that illustrates cognitive dissonance. Ted believes that consuming alcohol is harmful to health, but he continues to consume alcohol every day. Mia uses the Internet in her office to browse social sites, but she quits doing so after being warned. Jane performs poorly when she is repetitively criticized and abused at her workplace by her seniors and peers. Wren shares his company's confidential information with a rival firm in return for monetary favor.

The answer is Ted believes that consuming alcohol is harmful to health, but he continues to consume alcohol every day.

This scenario illustrates cognitive dissonance because Ted's behavior (consuming alcohol) is in direct conflict with his belief (that alcohol is harmful to health). Cognitive dissonance occurs when a person holds two contradictory beliefs or engages in behavior that contradicts their beliefs, leading to psychological discomfort.

This scenario does not illustrate cognitive dissonance. Mia's behavior changes in response to an external warning, which aligns her actions with the expectations of her workplace.

This scenario describes the impact of a hostile work environment on Jane's performance but does not involve conflicting beliefs or behaviors that would indicate cognitive dissonance.

This scenario involves unethical behavior but does not illustrate cognitive dissonance, as there is no indication of conflicting beliefs or behaviors within Wren's actions.
