Although neural network models have had a dramatic impact on the
cognitive and brain sciences, social psychology has remained
largely unaffected by this intellectual explosion. The first to
apply neural network models to social phenomena, this book includes
chapters by nearly all of the individuals currently working in this
area. Bringing these various approaches together in one place, it
allows readers to appreciate the breadth of these approaches, as
well as the theoretical commonality of many of these models.
The contributors address a number of central issues in social
psychology and show how these kinds of models provide insight into
many classic issues. Many chapters hint that this approach provides
the seeds of a theoretical integration that the field has lacked.
Each chapter discusses an explicit connectionist model of a central
problem in social psychology. Since many of the contributors either
use a standard architecture or provide a computer program,
interested readers, with a little work, should be able to implement
their own variations of models.
Chapters are devoted to the following topics and models:
* the learning and application of social categories and
stereotypes;
* causal reasoning, social explanation, and person
perception;
* personality and social behavior;
* classic dissonance phenomena; and
* belief change and the coherence of large scale belief
systems.
