In the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts
present career-long collections of what they judge to be their
finest pieces-extracts from books, key articles, salient research
findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions.
Susan T. Fiske has an international reputation as an eminent
scholar and pioneer in the field of social cognition. Throughout
her distinguished career, she has investigated how people make
sense of other people, using shortcuts that reveal prejudices and
stereotypes. Her research in particular addresses how these biases
are encouraged or discouraged by social relationships, such as
cooperation, competition, and power. In 2013, she was elected to
the National Academy of Sciences, and, in 2011, to the British
Academy. She has also won several scientific honours, including the
Guggenheim Fellowship, the APA Distinguished Scientific
Contributions Award, the APS William James Fellow Award, as well as
the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations Wundt-James
Award and honorary degrees in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and
Switzerland. This collection of selected publications illustrates
the foundations of modern social cognition research and its
development in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century.
In a specially written introductory chapter, Fiske traces the key
advances in social cognition throughout her career, and so this
book will be invaluable reading for students and researchers in
social cognition, person perception, and intergroup bias.

The field of social cognitive neuroscience has captured the
attention of many researchers during the past ten years. Much of
the impetus for this new field came from the development of
functional neuroimaging methods that made it possible to
unobtrusively measure brain activation over time. Using these
methods over the last 30 years has allowed psychologists to move
from simple validation questions -- would flashing stimuli activate
the visual cortex -- to those about the functional specialization
of brain regions-- are there regions in the inferior temporal
cortex dedicated to face processing-- to questions that, just a
decade ago, would have been considered to be intractable at such a
level of analysis.
These so-called "intractable" questions are the focus of the
chapters in this book, which introduces social cognitive
neuroscience research addressing questions of fundamental
importance to social psychology: How do we understand and represent
other people? How do we represent social groups? How do we regulate
our emotions and socially undesirable responses? This book also
presents innovative combinations of multiple methodologies,
including behavioral experiments, computer modeling, functional
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) experiments, Event-Related
Potential (ERP) experiments, and brain lesion studies. It is
divided into four sections. The first three sections present the
latest research on, respectively, understanding and representing
other people, representing social groups, and the interplay of
cognition and emotion in social regulation. In the fourth section,
contributors step back and consider a range of novel topics that
have emerged in the context of social neuroscience research:
understanding social exclusion as pain, deconstructing our moral
intuitions, understanding cooperative exchanges with other agents,
and the effect of aging on brain function and its implications for
well-being. Taken together, these chapters provide a rich
introduction to an exciting, rapidly developing and expanding field
that promises a richer and deeper understanding of the social mind.
