Blood Basics. Blood is a specialized body fluid. It has four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The blood that runs through the veins, arteries, and capillaries is known as whole blood, a mixture of about 55 percent plasma and 45 percent blood cells. About 7 to 8 percent of your total body weight is blood.
Cognitive Dissonance. by Saul McLeod published 2008, updated 2014. refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. This produces a feeling of discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance etc.or example, when people smoke (behavior) and they know that smoking causes cancer (cognition). Festinger's (1957) cognitive dissonance theory suggests that we have an inner drive to hold all our attitudes and beliefs in harmony and avoid disharmony (or dissonance).
Post decision dissonance is defined as a feeling of uncertainty or anxiety on whether a decision that was made was correct. This is common especially in most scenarios where d â¦ ifficult decisions have to be made.hough I could be completely wrong â¦ . If I am not mistaken, my cognitive dissonance, and as George Orwell refers as Doublethink allows me to challenge my ideologies to find what is closer to the truth, instead of sticking with one thing I tend to see things from a wider perspective.
