“…While fringe members were more inclined to recognize that they had made fools of themselves and to "put it down to experience," committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along (the earth was not destroyed because of the faithfulness of the cult members)." (McLeod, 2014) That is an example, but cognitive dissonance arose applicable to wide range of scenarios, since the premises were not context-dependent enough to warrant specificity. Cognitive dissonance being a psychological notion, however, it has found discord among scholars regarding its falsifiability, according to Karl Popper's (1959) criteria, as one can just say that when the theory does not predict situations, it happens as a motive of the dissonance not being strong enough.…”

The theory of cognitive dissonance has found several applications in a diverse array of fields, which includes the practice of marketing. The utility in marketing appears toward some topics, including consumer behavior and marketing strategy. The main goal of cognitive dissonance in marketing is, through better understanding of the human psyche and behavior, finding manners of using such knowledge toward improving the defined intents of the field. Here we provide a review of how the cognitive dissonance theory affected marketing throughout the 21st century and attempt to visualize ways it can move forward, generating new developments for the intertwinement of the two subjects. The expected result is informing the reader of the state of the art of the subjects taken together in the twentieth-first century and hoping to generate possible insights for further work in the field.

“…They are sixty-three female students who were randomly selected to participate in the current study.

The aim of the current study is to do a reading needs analysis of preparatory-year students in the Saudi context. The scope is to identify the reading needs and deficiencies of EFL learners at King Abdulaziz University. The instrument used is a paper-based questionnaire that was distributed among the participants. A total of sixty-three female students participated in the study. The questionnaire is adapted from the needs analysis questionnaire for non-English learners (Gravatt, Richards & Lewis, 1997). Two open-ended questions were added in order to get in-depth data from the participants. The statistical analysis was utilized for the quantitative data via SPSS whereas the open-ended questions were analyzed thematically using NVivo. The results demonstrate that EFL learners in the Saudi context have deficiencies of some reading strategies such as reading speed and reading to respond critically. However, they do not have difficulties with general comprehension of reading texts and they are able to read slowly in order to understand the details of the text. Regarding preferences, they mostly like to read works of fiction such as stories or novels but they do not prefer to read long texts. Based on the findings, this study was able to draw a number of implications and propose several recommendations.
