Nope. Sorry. Theory only. I am not defending mask wearing and am most certainly not enjoying it. This is not "scientific fact"...read the last sentence in your post again, the one that says "This prediction has been tested experimentally".
"Theory only" is your position? but you read the sentence that says "tested experimentally"
So its only a theory? How can it be "only" a theory when it has been tested in a real world experiment? A theory is something that has NOT been tested.
Do you wish to argue this point? (You may be suffering a dissonance-adjusted pseudo-opinion)
LOL! I'm not arguing anything with you nor am I suffering from anything. My issue is you call something "fact" when it isn't.
A concept tested experimentally (by one "study", which you don't provide reference for) is not "fact". It is a concept, an idea, a postulation, not "fact". Reproduce it, provide the evidence, peer review it, etc.
On that research portal there are about 1,220,000 results for “cognitive dissonance”
It is WELL STUDIED. It is not "only" a theory. You are wrong. Have a good day = oops please don't press me on this, I wish to escape my error (more dissonance, how does it feel?.... its a little painful isn't it)
There are 1.2m results for cognitive dissonance , but they don’t all relate to the phenomenon you’re describing.
I’m certain that testing it amongst 100 people x will have the result you describe , but I am also certain there will be a portion , y , in which the opposite happens.
I’ve been forced into plenty of things publicly and haven’t developed cognitive dissonance twisting my view into thinking I loved it.
Furthermore the level that most people are operating at with masks , they’re barely thinking about it - it’s not enough to cause a trauma response in the brain.

Have a good day
The reference is on the graphic - it is the first study of its kind. This is the reference: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Cognitive-consequences-of-forced-compliance.-Festinger-Carlsmith/9b6e43983b4f178b9381487f2f6b1eaf20774d6a (a google of Festinger and Carlsmith (1959)) would have got you there. Again, it is on the graphic.

Stop being a twat.

It's all talk by these armchair warriors. Those of us behind enemy lines have our resistance and we are pushing this back.
