An experiment was conducted with a new paradigm of Festinger's (1957) theory of dissonance. This paradigm was used to test dissonance reduction following two behaviors, rather than just one as in the classic forced compliance paradigm. The first behavior involved refraining from smoking for one evening, and the second, convincing a peer that abstinence from smoking was not difficult. It was hypothesized that the dissonance reduction effect would be greater for a sample of French students who had executed both behaviors than for those who had executed only one. The results supported this hypothesis.
采用费斯汀格（1957）的失调理论新范式进行了一项实验。该范式用于测试两种行为之后的失调减少情况，而非像经典的强迫服从范式那样仅测试一种行为之后的情况。第一种行为是一个晚上不吸烟，第二种行为是说服同伴戒烟并不困难。研究假设，对于实施了这两种行为的法国学生样本，失调减少效应要大于仅实施了一种行为的学生样本。结果支持了这一假设。
