Explanation:

Leon Festinger has given the concept of cognitive dissonance. It is the concept of the discomfort of the feelings, beliefs, and behavior of the person. In this process, a person feels discomfort in the feelings that needs an alteration in the feelings emotions and behavior of a person so the person can reduce the discomfort.
