Foundations of Social Cognition - A Festschrift in Honor of Robert S. Wyer, Jr. (Hardcover, New)

Through his extensive research, editorial activities, and his enormous impact on students and colleagues, Robert S. Wyer, Jr. has established himself as a prolific scholar in the history of social psychology. This book is a tribute to his contributions. It provides an introduction to the major issues and current thinking in the field, offering an analysis of the underlying processes that have long been the focus of Bob Wyer's own research including attention, perception, inference, and memory. In each of the chapters, scholars provide an in-depth analysis of these processes as they pertain to one or more substantive areas including attitudes, construct accessibility, impressions of persons and groups, the interplay between affect and cognition, motivated reasoning, and stereotypes, among other topics. Each chapter traces the development of ideas in the field by combining the review and synthesis of past scholarship with the assessment of current understanding and cutting-edge trends and issues. This work should benefit scholars, researchers, and advanced students in the fields of social and cognitive psychology.
