Definition

  • Although many of us believe ourselves and our lives to be exemplary with respect to the consistency in our thoughts and behaviors, much of human social life and belief is fraught with inconsistencies, contradictions, and contested meanings. The effects of these inconsistencies on human health have been investigated for the past 50 years. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health and Behavior; Social Or Status Incongruence]
