Two experiments varied importance, confirmation, and solution to test whether or not disconfirmation of expectancies is unpleasant. In Experiment 1, two pleasant solutions were tasted. For one solution, disconfirmation was unpleasant in the importance condition, pleasant in the unimportance condition. In Experiment 2, two unpleasant solutions were tasted; no significant differences were demonstrated. Interpretations are given for sensory, dissonance, and need for variety factors. Reasons for solution differences are discussed.
