Self-regulatory conflicts – tensions between the "head" and the "heart" – are a prominent part of daily human experience. This outstanding volume reviews cutting edge research into their causes and consequences, using Strack and Deutsch’s Reflective-Impulsive Model as a powerful integrative framework.-Norbert Schwarz, Provost Professor of Psychology and Marketing, University of Southern CaliforniaA valuable complement to other recent volumes dealing generally with dual-process models, this book specifically focuses on Strack and Deutsch’s RIM model. Authoritative chapters elucidate the model’s fundamental processes and important areas of application including health, addiction, and economic behavior. -Eliot R. Smith, Distinguished Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana UniversityThis volume is a homage to Fritz Strack, one of the most creative contemporary minds in social psychology and the creator of the versatile and integrative Reflective-Impulsive Model, which has evolved to become one of the most influential theoretical contributions to psychology.-Gün R. Semin, Research Professor of Psychology and Director of the William James Center for Research, Instituto Universitário de Ciências Psicológicas, Sociais e da Vida
