Dante is aware that drinking large quantities of alcohol is a costly habit that is bad for his health, but he continues to do so anyway. he also holds the beliefs that he is smart and makes good choices in life. the psychological discomfort dante feels from this contradiction between his thoughts and behavior is known as

Cognitive Dissonance

Explanation:

The term Cognitive Dissonance was first introduced by Leon Festinger and it refers to what happens when a person has two or more contradictory beliefs or ideas and experiences psychological stress because of that. In other words, when two ideas are opposite to each other, the person will experience stress and will try to reduce this difference to reduce their discomfort. This usually happens when new evidence contradicts the person previous belief and it creates stress (cognitive dissonance).

In this example, Dante is aware that drinking alcohol is a costly habit that is bad for his health but he continues to do so anyway. He also thinks he is smart and makes good choices in life. Dan is experiencing a contradiction between his thoughts (I make good choices in life) and his behavior (Drinking is bad for his health) and this contradiction is making him experience psychological stress. This is known as Cognitive Dissonance
