Heard about cognitive dissonance? Well, meet conative dissonance, where the conflict is not between two beliefs (or such), but between a belief and a desire. The claim is that many examples of the dissonance phenomenon are better explained by this. Open access

Conative Dissonance
Cognitive dissonance was originally defined as a “nonfitting relation between cognitions,” which gives rise to an unpleasant feeling. And this unpleasant feeling leads to a behavioral change. My aim ...

De la sorte, la tolérance est une opération mutuelle de désarmement et de désabsolutisation de la puissance conative et combative de convictions religieuses rivales, et il n'est pas étonnant que les fondamentalistes l'aient en horreur.

The stuff that we feel most driven to share with others is pretty basic shit. A lot of language is conative and phatic—reaching out to the other to say hello and share just being together.

So hello. We’re all here together. Here’s my cat looking concerned. She says hi too. Depth is not the point.

En fait, elle concerne plutôt l’incapacité de sujets bien précis à faire l’objet d’une politisation efficace sans recourir à la force conative de convictions qui se disent "religieuses" et sont manipulées à bon compte par des acteurs peu recommandables.

Ah bah pour le coup je ne suis pas d'accord: à mes yeux le racisme est un système de pensée, qui a donc une dimension conative et peut tout-à-fait constituer une explication de type cause> effet 🤔

Un petit bémol cependant : si les convictions religieuses et politiques ne faisaient pas agir, nos milliardaires d’extrême-droite n’investiraient pas tant d’efforts pour contrôler les médias, l’édition, et cetera. Il y a une part conative dans les convictions.

Had Biden said this, it would have caused the Times, Post, & WSJ to assign 10 reporters each to write front page articles, some of which debunked the insane lies & most of which opined about Biden's conative decline. Every cable & broadcast show would have endlessly demanded Biden be removed.
Trump: These massive vaccines that are twice the size of a jar like that. A glass of water like that into a baby's body.

wow, Erie... That's a bold statement. "We only support our government, not the people" is my take away. #COnative

For stem III, I like 'implicative' (removal of the direct object, and promotion of the indirect object to the direct object (kataba kitâban 'ilayhi > kâtabahû) and 'conative' (to try to do something, qatala 'to kill' > qâtala 'to try to kill; to fight')
