One of the more promising recent developments in the study of
social cognition has been the cross-pollination of ideas from the
fields of developmental and social psychology. Many social
psychologists have come to the conclusion that a complete account
of social cognitive phenomena must include not (l 1ly detailed
analyses of those processes in their adult form but also an
understanding of their origins and development in children.
Likewise, in the last ten years psychologists involved in social
developmental research have shown an increasing interest in
theories and research generated in the adult social cognition
literature. Surely among the more important cognitive phenomena to
be studied in social development are those that are related to
psychological processes in later life. This approaching integration
of adult and developmental social psychology is long overdue and
promises benefits to research in both disciplines. The goal of this
volume is to move the fields toward this synthesis. For this
reason, we have put together a collection of original essays by
authors who are among the more prominent new researchers in this
movement. In selecting topics we have tried to cover areas of
recent social cognition research that are of interest to both
developmental and adult social psychologists. This volume is
divided into three general sections: (1) Attribution and Social
Judgment, (2) Moral Development and a Sense of Self, and (3) Social
Influences on Cognitive Development.
