About this title

Synopsis

Reprint of the original 1956 edition.When Prophecy Fails waspublished by Festinger, Riecken and Schachter during the height of the Cold War. It is a detailed study of a small UFO religion group in Chicago calledthe Seekersbelieved in an imminent apocalypse. The authors focused on the members' coping mechanisms after the event did not occur, focusing on the cognitive dissonance between the members' beliefs and actual events, and the psychological consequences of these disconfirmed expectations. One of the first published cases of dissonance (inconsistency between the truth and what people want to believe, the perception of contradictory information) was reported in this book. The publisher has included an extensive prologue in this edition on the subject of religious cults. Saucerian Publisher was founded with the mission of promoting books in Science Fiction. Our vision is to preserve the legacy of literary history by reprint editions of books that have already been exhausted or are difficult to obtain. Our goal is to help readers, educators, and researchers by bringing back original publications that are difficult to find at a reasonable price while preserving the legacy of universal knowledge. This title is an authentic reproduction of the original edition published in 1956 printed text in shades of gray.IMPORTANT,although we have attempted to maintain the integrity of the original text accurately, the present reproduction has missing and blurred pages, poor pictures from the original scanned copy.Because this material is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment to protect, preserve and promote knowledge in the world.___ Copy and paste the link for our titles: https://saucerianbooks.blogspot.com/
