Abstract: Theories of cognitive consistency are formally integrated and compared by applying a multiple regression modeling strategy that has developed in the analysis and formal integration of theories of social consistency. Several important studies of cognitive consistency theories are reviewed to locate conceptual omissions in tests of the theory. In addition, several issues that are problematic in testing consistency theories are reviewed, alternative solutions are discussed, and areas in which additional work is needed are noted.
