Cognitive dissonance is a process of attitude change - (a) simultaneous occurrence of conflicting belief and (b) reducing the conflicting thoughts or belief by performing actions that are opposite to one's belief.
As it is a process of change variable, it is better to apply experimental social psychological approach.
