Abstract

We ran a large-scale experience sampling study to investigate the dynamics of evaluative conflict. This research tested prevailing models of ambivalence, dissonance reduction, and their temporal trajectories in daily life (about meat consumption). Moreover, we propose a novel model on the antecedents and consequences of temporal instability of conflict.
