Our interpretations of the world we live in, and the people and
institutions that comprise it, are acquired through complex
interactions among what we believe to be true, what the world is,
and/or what others think it is. Understanding those complex
interactions is one of the most important goals of the social
sciences. Of the many disciplines that have contributed to that
understanding, two take center stage in this book -- psychology and
communication. This volume's purpose is to reconnect the partially
isolated environments of social psychology and communication. To do
so, it utilizes four building blocks: * the cognitive foundations
of interpersonal communication as it might be studied from a social
psychological perspective * insiders' views of interpersonal
communication from a cognitive psychological standpoint * insiders'
approaches to interpersonal communication from an AI perspective *
a critique of the cognitive enterprise that reflects the strong
philosophical grounding of communication. Overall, the chapters
typify some of the most interesting cognitive work done in the
study of interpersonal communication. As such, the book should
promote productive dialogue across disciplinary boundaries and
stimulate further work within the field of interpersonal
communication.
