“The Routledge Handbook of Communication and Social Cognition is a landmark volume that brings together a dream team of interdisciplinary scholars. Covering everything from the nuts and bolts of theory to the frontiers of AI and digital life, this volume is a one-stop shop for anyone curious about how communication shapes (and is shaped by) the way we think, feel, and connect. It is forward-thinking, comprehensive, and surprisingly fun.”Andrea Hollingshead, Professor of Communication, University of Southern California, USA“Communication Science has emerged in the past 50 years as a separate, but hybrid field of studies of increasing scientific and social importance as the stream of mass communication received by members of modern societies reaches flood tide levels. The Routledge Handbook of Communication and Social Cognition provides the best on-ramp to the intersection of psychological science and communication science currently available. After reading many of the individual chapters, I am impressed by the quality, usefulness, and insightfulness of the varied contributions from major thinkers involved in this fast-moving area of research. Anyone trying to make sense of the impact on society of the incredible broadband of communications streaming into the lives of every citizen embedded in the dense network of electronic, print, and face-to-face communication that make up the modern information environment will find something of value in this volume.”Reid Hastie, Professor of Behavioral Science, University of Chicago, USA
