"The study of social cognition began with the application of theories and methods borrowed from cognitive psychology for the study of social behavior. It quickly became a popular and prolific subfield of social psychology. Carlston rightly wonders if 'subfield' satisfies as a description, as social cognition is also a perspective, point of view, orientation, approach, even a philosophy of doing social-psychological research. This expansive, 43-chapter handbookhas four sections examining the topic's history and foundations, mental representation and information processing, social cognition and social psychology, and synergy with other areas of psychology andthe social sciences. Those interested in social psychology will want to consult this fine work. Summing up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals." -D.S. Dunn, CHOICE"This book provides a comprehensive and current review of major topics in social cognition. This is an important, extensive, and I would add, foundational work on the most important aspects of social psychology, particularly in the relatively new and growing area of social cognition. We commend the editor for his efforts in gathering material from contributors, organizing, and presenting it in this valuable volume." -Nano Khilnani, Biz India"This amazingly comprehensive volume showcases the emergence of the social cognition perspective and the wide variety of domains of inquiry that have been illuminated by the approach." -Russell H. Fazio, Ohio State University"...almost all of the major thinkers in this field have contributed chapters that are innovative, erudite, and enjoyable to read." -Reid Hastie, Chicago Booth Graduate School of Business"The breadth and depth of the contributions to this seminal volume illustrate the explanatory, integrative and generative reach of the social cognition approach to human behavior." -Diane Mackie, University of California at Santa Barbara
