Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) asked participants to perform a boring task and then paid them either 20 or 1 to lie to the next participant, telling them that the task was enjoyable.
 
  Afterwards they asked participants to rate how much they liked the task. Participants who received 1 rated the task as more enjoyable than participants who received 20. What has been proposed as a likely reason for this result?
  a. The participants paid 20 actually liked the task but lied about how they felt.
  b. The participants paid 1 actually disliked the task but lied about how they felt.
  c. The participants paid 1 did not have sufficient justification for lying so changed their attitude to match their behavior.
  d. The participants paid 20 experienced cognitive dissonance.
