We experience dissonance when two simultaneously
held cognitions are inconsistent. In this case, the cognition,
I want to be where the weather is nice and warm is in
conflict with the cognition that I am in Salt Lake City in the
winter. If the weather is bad in Salt Lake City and nice in
Hawaii, dissonance is high. If the weather is nice in both locations,
dissonance is low.
