Social Cognition by Marilynn B Brewer

Social Cognition by Marilynn B Brewer

"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.

This significant four-volume set will have immediate impact on the fieldIt includes contributions from leading international social psychologists on a broad range of topics involving intra-individual, personal, interpersonal, intergroup, and societal processes. The chapters, which focus on traditional and emerging areas, are uniformly scholarly and interesting. By skillfully assembling a mosaic of chapters on focused topics, Brewer and Hewstone have captured both the expansiveness and conceptual depth of the field while offering novel and insightful perspectives on social psychology. John F. Dovidio, Colgate University The subject matter considered in these books is well balanced and varied giving the reader a wide ranging view of the discipline. Each volume stands well on it's own but the four together make a complete overview of the subject. These volumes will enhance everyone's understanding of the subject from student to academic. I thoroughly recommend them Social Psychological Review, October 2005
