Social cognition, as a field, can be characterized as a distinct
subarea of social psychology that examines all of the countless
cognitive complexities, mental representations, and processes
implicated in interaction, as well as an approach to studying
interactions in the context of the groups, cultures, and societies
to which they belong. Together these two facets of social cognition
create one of the most influential and important social sciences to
come along in some time. Providing a comprehensive review of major
topics in the field of social cognition, The Oxford Handbook of
Social Cognition expresses that excitement and fascination in
describing the content and approach that constitute the field
today. The 43 chapters included in this handbook cover: - central
aspects of the field of social cognition, including its history and
historically important foundational research areas (attribution,
attitudes, impression formation, and prejudice/stereotyping), along
with methodology - core issues relating to social cognitive
representations and processes (including those that are visual,
implicit, or automatic) and the stages of information processing
(attention, perception, memory, and judgment, along with simulation
and thought suppression) - applications of the social cognition
approach to areas of social psychology, general psychology, and
other disciplines, such as marketing, law, health and politics
After more than 30 years, the vibrant field of social cognition
continues to reign as one of psychology's most dominant approaches.
The impressive chapters collected in this volume define the field
and contribute enormously to our understanding of what social
cognition is today.
