Answer 1

Fatima's statement that she intends to continue in her job in spite of her dissatisfaction makes you think that Fatima will likely experience​ "Cognitive Dissonance".

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognitive dissonance is a psychological concept when an individual experiences non consistent thoughts and emotions (regardless of the environment). In this example, Fatima had been expected to quit her job (because she hated the manager).

In spite of that, she continued to work. That caused the cognitive dissonance in her behavior, as she changed her attitude. People correlate decisions and feelings many times, but due to some factors like patience, need of job etc, worked for an individual to be consistent and continue job.
