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. This title collects readings from the four-volume set of Blackwell Handbooks of Social Psychology and includes introductions by two world-renowned researchers. It provides a 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. It is organized around two broad themes: the cognitive representations of the social world and cognition in social interaction, and designed for course use.
