One of the social behavior changes is due to the cognitive dissonance experienced by the community as a form of psychological discomfort due to the government's inconsistency in handling the conditions of the outbreak. Resilience is a psychological resource that can help individuals reduce psychological discomfort and adapt for changes in facing the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze whether there is a relationship between cognitive dissonance and community resilience related to the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses a quantitative approach.
