Emotional dissonance



Emotional dissonance is the expression of feigned emotions in the workplace.

In 1983, Arlie Russell Hochschild coined the term emotional dissonance to describe "maintaining a difference between feeling and feigning".[1] Hoschschild wrote about emotional labour, which is the regulation of emotional expression in exchange for a wage.[2]
