Résumé :
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between 
trivialization and self-esteem. Low-self-esteem participants were 
expected to
reduce cognitive dissonance by trivialization. In this experiment, 
dissonance was aroused by having participants write a 
counter-attitudinal essay.
In the post-experimental phase, both the participants' attitude and 
trivialization were measured. The order of presentation of the variables
was manipulated (attitude first vs. trivialization first). The results 
showed that participants with low self-esteem did not change their attitude
and trivialized. These results limit the scope of the self-consistency 
view proposing that only participants with high self-esteem feel dissonance.

Mots-Clés : cognitive dissonance, trivialization, self-esteem
