Handbook of Social Cognition by Robert S Wyer Jr
This second volume in a two volume set, provides discussions of the role of information processing in specific areas, such as stereotyping, communication and persuasion, political judgement, close relationships, organizational, clinical and health psychology, and consumer behaviour.Review of the first edition..
"The field needs this handbook, and the authors are well qualified to edit it....This publication is solid and seminal enough that it will probably be important through the end of the decade."

"The first edition of the Handbook of Social Cognition was a revolutionary manifesto. It was both a challenge to traditional ways of social psychological theorizing and a statement from the rabble that 'we are here and we mean to stay.' It was confrontational and passionate. It was fists and sinew demanding recognition and acceptance.
"This second edition of the Handbook fully conveys the new maturity of social cognition. It amply demonstrates the relevance of information-processing principles to understanding the cognitive dynamics underlying a broad array of traditional domains in social psychology. Indeed, it is easy to envision a future in which there is no longer a need for a separate Handbook of Social Cognition. The Handbook of Social Cognition will become the Handbook of Social Psychology."
