Abstract
A hypothesis regarding the effect of cognitive dissonance on phobic responses was tested. Female college students with marked fear of spiders were asked to commit themselves to a research program under one of two conditions. High Dissonance subjects (N=6) received high aversion/low justification instructions, and Low Dissonance subjects (N=5) received low aversion/high justification instructions. Measures of phobic anxiety were not found to be related to degree of dissonance arousal.
