Presenting diverse perspectives from eminent scholars and
contemporary researchers, The Handbook of Impression Formation
contextualizes current and future areas of research in the social
psychology of impression formation within a rich historic
framework. Affirming that impression formation is at the core of
human experience, chapters explore how and why people form snap
judgments about others and when those impressions update. They
examine the processes through which people infer the reasons for
the events they encounter, allowing people to plan for appropriate
behavioral responses to social contexts. The research reviewed is
informed by the foundational theory of unconscious automatic
processes involved in making judgements of other people, pioneered
by Professor Jim Uleman who contributes a chapter that suggests
important new directions, and concludes the volume by reflecting on
the state of the field more broadly. The book explores how certain
attributes stimulate categorization, examining current issues
around implicit bias, stereotypes, and social media. Chapters cover
a range of approaches, featuring personal narratives, presentation
of new data and discoveries, comprehensive literature reviews, and
contemplations on where the field must go and what questions
require focus for progress to be made, calling for even the most
advanced scholars to contribute more to the collective
investigation of impression formation. This fascinating work
provides a solid foundation from which all researchers can build a
new and unique program of research, and arms the reader with the
intellectual tools they need to chart new theoretical territory and
discover aspects of the human experience we have yet to even wonder
about. It is essential reading for students and academics in social
psychology, and the social sciences more broadly.

A comprehensive overview of the mechanisms involved in how
cognitive processes determine thought and behavior toward the
social world, Cognitive Social Psychology: *examines cognition as a
motivated process wherein cognition and motivation are seen as
intertwined; * reviews the latest research on stereotyping,
prejudice, and the ability to control these phenomena--invaluable
information to managers who need to prevent against bias in the
workplace; and *provides a current analysis of classic
problems/issues in social psychology, such as cognitive dissonance,
the fundamental attribution error, social identity, stereotyping,
social comparison, heuristic processing, the self-concept,
assimilation and contrast effects, and goal pursuit. Intended for
psychology and management students, as well as social, cognitive,
and industrial/organizational psychologists in both academic and
applied settings. This new book is also an ideal text for courses
in social cognition due to its cohesive structure.

An ideal text for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, this
accessible yet authoritative volume examines how people come to
know themselves and understand the behavior of others. Core
social-psychological questions are addressed as students gain an
understanding of the mental processes involved in perceiving,
attending to, remembering, thinking about, and responding to the
people in our social world. Particular attention is given to how we
know what we know: the often hidden ways in which our perceptions
are shaped by contextual factors and personal and cultural biases.
While the text's coverage is sophisticated and comprehensive,
synthesizing decades of research in this dynamic field, every
chapter brings theories and findings down to earth with lively,
easy-to-grasp examples.
