Dalla quarta di copertina

Social Cognition is a collection of readings from the four-volume set of Blackwell Handbooks of Social Psychology that examine the mental representations that people hold of their social world and the way that social information is processed, stored, and retrieved. The readings have been selected to provide a representative sampling of exciting research and theory on social cognition that is both comprehensive and current and cross-cuts the levels of analysis from intrapersonal to intergroup. The book is organized around two broad themes: the cognitive representations of the social world, focusing on cognitions about the social world; and cognition in social interaction, showing how cognition takes place and develops within social relationships and other forms of social exchange.
