Evidence is mounting that we are not as in control of our judgments
and behavior as we think we are. Unconscious or 'automatic' forms
of psychological and behavioral processes are those of which we
tend to be unaware, that occur without our intention or consent,
yet influence us on a daily basis in profound ways. Automatic
processes influence our likes and dislikes for almost everything,
as well as how we perceive other people, such as when we make
stereotypic assumptions about someone based on their race or gender
or social class. Even more strikingly, the latest research is
showing that the aspects of life that are the richest experience
and most important to us - such as emotions and our close
relationships, as well as the pursuit of our important life tasks
and goals - also have substantial unconscious components. Social
Psychology and the Unconscious: The Automaticity of Higher Mental
Processes offers a state-of-the-art review of the evidence and
theory supporting the existence and the significance of automatic
processes in our daily lives, with chapters by the leading
researchers in this field today, across a spectrum of psychological
phenomena from emotions and motivations to social judgment and
behavior. The volume provides an introduction and overview of these
now central topics to graduate students and researchers in social
psychology and a range of allied disciplines with an interest in
human behavior and the unconscious, such as cognitive psychology,
philosophy of mind, political science, and business.
