Recall that Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) paid participants either $1 or $20 to tell someone else that a tedious, boring task was really interesting. Participants paid modified their original attitudes because they had for lying.

In contrast to internal justification, which requires a person to self-justify their response because there is insufficient external support, external justification occurs when there is sufficient support for action from outside sources. Many people believe that internal justification is more powerful than external justification.

Finding explanations for one's actions, beliefs, and attitudes that are not within one's own power is known as external justification. When someone intentionally modifies an action, belief, or attitude in order to lessen cognitive dissonance, this is known as internal justification.
