"Cognitive Dissonance Theory" by Leon Festinger. Festinger believed that individual could experience a particular feeling of "imbalance" when they "find themselves doing things that don't fit with what they know, or having opinions that do not fit with other opinions they hold" (1957, p. 4). When a person experiences this imbalance or "dissonance," Festinger explains they will take steps to reduce or eliminate it from their environment.
What this means in a nutshell is... when we find ourselves in a communicative episode - particularly in social situations - and we feel uneasy about what people are talking about, discussing or even actively participating in, we will attempt to change that situation to be more comfortable. This change can come in terms of altering the conversation and communication to something we are more knowledgeable of, or maybe removing ourselves from the situation all together. Your textbook has a great visual that explains it simply... see the attached image.
