- Find positive qualities in the person and focus on those to reduce dissonance between our negative attitude and positive cognition. For example, acknowledging their kindness or work ethic.
- Interact with the person in cooperative ways to experience dissonance from our negative attitude and cooperative behavior. Our attitude may then shift to align with the cooperative behavior.
- Seek to understand the person's perspective through listening to reduce dissonance between an overly negative view of them and understanding their experiences shape them. Greater understanding can lead to more positive attitudes.

George Kelly - Personal Construct Theory- Princy HannahPRINCYHANNAHA
Personal construct theory or personal construct psychology is a theory of personality and cognition developed by the American psychologist George Kelly in the 1950s. The theory is concerned with the psychological reasons for actions.
In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment.
Formation of Attitude, How it is Changed and Rule of PrejudiceEHSAN KHAN
Let's quickly define the word attitude. An attitude is the value a person assigns to something or someone. How do you feel about the current president of the United States? What do you think about classical music? These questions will reveal your level of value towards these things, or, your attitude about the president or classical music.

The Interview
Discovering
Difference: and
Working Toward
Understanding
T
In this interview you work to understand another human
being by developing a receptive and welcoming attitude toward your interviewee. You
will review the principles of CMM as you understand them, keeping in mind that this
interview is designed to help you create a positive social world with another person who is
different from you. Two things to keep in mind from CMM are to listen in a way that makes
others want to speak to you, and to speak in a way that makes others want to listen to
you.
You will also make use of Politeness Theory as you speak and listen in such a way as to
maintain the “face” of another human being, that is, the self-respect that person has for
him or herself and treating that person with dignity. Recognize that we all want to be
liked, admired, appreciated and approved. Respond to the other with empathy and
compassion.
Work toward having that “authentic dialog” mentioned by Paolo Freire. This means
regarding the other person as a genuine subject. Finally, you will complete the “praxis” as
Freire defines it, by not only acting through the interview, but by reflecting upon it at the
conclusion.

Introduction
2 lorem ipsum :: [Date]
Action/Reflection
You do not have to ask all of these questions. These are
just to prompt you to go forward. These, however, are
good questions and should elicit some deep and
meaningful dialog. Here are some sample questions you
might ask your interviewee:
Key Scenes
1. Please describe a scene, episode, or moment in
your life that stands out as a really positive
experience.
2. In reviewing your life, is it possible to find key
moments that stand out as turning points for you.
These are episodes that you see as a turning point
in your entire life.
3. Could you detail a positive childhood memory
from your early years as a child. Please describe
this in detail. What happened, where and when
did it happen, who was involved, and what were
you thinking and feeling? What does this memory
say about your life?
4. Vivid adult memory. Please identify one memory
that you have had as an adult, something
memorable or vivid that happened to you in your
adult years. Please describe this in detail.
5. Wisdom event. Find an event in your life where you
displayed wisdom. This could be a time in which
you acted or interacted in an especially wise way
or provided wise counsel, or advice, made a wide
decision or otherwise behaved in a wise manner.
What happened, where and when, who was
involved, and what were you thinking and feeling.
What does this memory say about you and your
life?
6. Religious spiritual or mystical experience. Whether
you are religious or not, some people report they
have felt a transcendent sense of something
sacred at one time or another in their lives., some
feeling of oneness with nature or the ...
This purpose of this assignment was to highlight key practices taught by Bandura, Rogers and Maslow. I went over several terms and theories discovered by these psychologists and provided pictures and helpful videos to better understand their teachings.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. Cognitive Dissonance
Introduction
DEFINITION: Cognitive Dissonance is altering attitude to create
harmony.
AIM: You will learn from the cognitive dissonance of Festinger, why you
simultaneously think two cognitions discomforts and motivates you to
change.
Background of Theory: After the earthquake of 1934 in India,
people were very afraid of what was happening. Rumors went around
saying that there will be more earthquakes with even great catastrophe.
Festinger wondered why people were spreading such news. Then, he
realized that these people were making these rumors based on how they
were feeling and behaving and not trying to increase their anxiety.
4. Comic
Q: Have you ever been in a position of having to do or say something that
was opposite of your attitudes or opinions?
5. Overview and Opening
When behavior is opposite your attitude, your attitude will change to
meet the behavior. The study was done with giving rewards for the
speeches opposite their views. It was expected the greater the reward
the greater chance the person would change his/her views. ( Very
simple?!) However, just the opposite was found to be true. The great
the reward the less likely the person was to change his/her personal
views.
* For Example: if a person is forced to deliver a speech opposite what he or she believes, the
speakers attitudes will shift toward those given in a speech.
Reasons:
Speaker is mentally preparing the speech
Part of the process of preparing the speech is to think of ways to support the argument in
support of the forced position
6. Theoretical Propositions
Think privately x + Publicly state not x =
Cognition Dissonance.
If reasons for stating not x than less dissonance. (like
Pressure, reward, and punishment.
(For example: the speech...)
Q: Suppose someone offers you a great deal of money to speak
about something you disagree with, in public, and you agree. Then,
someone offers you a little money and you agree. Which situation
would the dissonance be greater and why?
Therefore: According to Festinger- the greater the reward the less
7. Method
There were college students asked to do a
very boring experiment. After the
experiment, 10 students got $1 and 10
students got $20 to lie that the experiment
was very enjoyable, intriguing, and fun.
8. Results
The students were interviewed how they
really felt about the experiment on a scale
from -5 through +5.
They were asked to rate: interesting or
enjoyable, how much they learned,
importance, and interest to repeat similar
experiments.
Results: students that were paid $1 liked the
experiment more than those paid $20. This
addresses Festinger’s theory.
9. Questions and Criticism
He anticipated criticism from other researchers. There for he recorded the dollar
experiment and used people who did not know which condition they were rating.
Over the years the theory was only refined and not rejected, but widely accepted. Cooper
and Fazio outlined 4 steps in order for the attitude to change.
1: The attitude must produce a negative consequences. For example, if you compliment
someone on their clothes, even though you hate it, you still probably won’t change your
attitude about the clothes.
2: If you choose to behave in a negative way then you will feel responsible and have
dissonance. If someone forces you to behave in a negative way you will not have
dissonance.
3: Not only is it discomfort like Festinger said, but it also has to effect the person
psychologically.
4: The person must be aware that he is behaving in a certain way for this dissonance to
happen. Like the students knew they were lying.
11. When you actively try to change your views and cognitive dissonance, by changing our behavior,
this will change your opinions and attitudes.
How can we change our attitude toward a person we don’t like?
Editor's Notes
After the earthquake people were very afraid of what was happening. Rumors went around saying that there will be more earthquakes with even great catastrophe. Festinger wondered why people were spreading such news. Then, he realized that these people were making these rumors based on how they were feeling and behaving and not trying to increase their anxiety.
What happened to your opinion that you all of a sudden changed to comply?
Festinger theorized that changing your attitude is greatest when the dissonance is greatest.
speech by someone they liked they listened to and felt comfortable and like what they said..higher dissonance
drugs ..driving under the influence needed to change their attitudes to change their behaviors.
sexual behavior.. students had to make video tapes and half that had to talk about it those kids who only made vid tapes didn’t come to future talks there was a rise in condom buying of those who also spoke about it.
