A power distance index (PDI) has been composed of the country scores onthe following three questionnaire items, which are inter-correlated withcoefficients between 0.54 and 0.67 {see also Hofstede, 1977, 1979a).
(1) the percentage of subordinates who perceive that their boss makes his
decisions in an autocratic or paternalistic (persuasive) way;(2) subordinates' perceptions that employees in general (their colleagues)are afraid to disagree with superiors
(mean score on a five-point scale from 1 = very frequently to 5 =
very seldom, multiplied by 25 to make it comparable with the percentage
scores for questions 1 and 3);
(3) the percentage of subordinates who do not prefer a boss who makes hisdecisions in a consultative way, but who prefer a boss who decides eitherautocratically or paternalistically or, on the other hand, who does not decidehimself, but goes along with the majority of his subordinates

The Theory of Cognitive Dissonance
323
Cognitive DissonanceThis is the feeling of uncomfortable tension which comesfrom holding two conflicting thoughts in the mind at the sametime.
Dissonance increases with:The importance of the subject to us.How strongly the dissonant thoughts conflict.Our inability to rationalize and explain away the conflict.

Cognitive Dissonance (contd)
325
Dissonance is most powerful when it is about our self-image. Feelings of
foolishness, immorality and so on (including internal projections duringdecision-making) are dissonance in action.
If an action has been completed and cannot be undone, then the after-the-fact dissonance compels us to change our beliefs. If beliefs are moved,then the dissonance appears during decision-making, forcing us to takeactions we would not have taken before.
Cognitive dissonance appears in virtually all evaluations and decisionsand is the central mechanism by which we experience new differences inthe world. When we see other people behave differently to our images of
them, when we hold any conflicting thoughts, we experience dissonance.Dissonance increases with the importance and impact of the decision,along with the difficulty of reversing it. Discomfort about making the wrongchoice of car is bigger than when choosing a lamp.
Self-Perception Theorygives an alternative view.

Self-Perception Theory
327
People decide on their own attitudes and feelings from watching
themselves behave in various situations. This is particularly true wheninternal cues are so weak or confusing they effectively put the person inthe same position as an external observer.
Self-Perception Theory provides an alternative explanation for cognitive
dissonance effects. For example Festinger and Carlsmith's experimentwhere people were paid $1 or $20 to lie. Cognitive dissonance says thatpeople felt bad about lying for $1 because they could not justify the act.Self-perception takes an 'observer's view, concluding that those whowere paid $1 must have really enjoyed it (because $1 does not justify the
act) whilst those who were paid $20 were just doing it for the money.Note that this indicates how changing people's attitudes happens onlywhen two factors are present:
They are aroused, feeling the discomfort of dissonance.They attribute the cause of this to their own behaviors and attitudes.Research
