This four-volume handbook summarizes the current state of knowledge
on major topics within the fields of personality and social
psychology. Coverage is contemporary, is provocative, and sets an
agenda for future work in the area. Volume 1 focuses on attitudes
and social cognition, describing the two main directions in which
this domain has moved over the past quarter century. First, there
is increasing focus on the phenomenology of daily life, with
emphasis on the contents and drivers of mundane daily life. These
include emotional experience, religious beliefs, feelings of
control and agency, the function of conscious thought, and how all
of these underpin our sense of self and important social behaviors.
The second trend has been toward a deeper understanding of basic
human nature, with increasing focus on unconscious or implicit
cognitive processes that influence virtually all facets of daily
life (e.g., how power transforms how we think about others and what
qualities we associate with leadership). Volumes 2 and 3 provide a
broad framework to guide theorizing and research with respect to
group processes and interpersonal relations in social psychology.
Topics of discussion include theory and research on prejudice,
stereotyping, and discrimination; intergroup and intragroup
processes; and the formation, maintenance, and dissolution of
relationships. Together, the chapters reflect a wide range of
theoretical perspectives at different levels of analysis, including
perspectives from disciplines outside of psychology (e.g., biology,
neuroscience, health sciences, sociology). Volume 4 contains
sections on personality processes and individual differences as
well as sections on more holistic approaches, such as The Person in
Context and The Person as a Whole. Authors provide not only the
foundational material on their topic but also discuss the big
issues or bones of contention and what they see as the ways forward
to resolve these issues.
