Explore the foundations of social psychology with the Handbook of Social Cognition: Volume 1: Basic Processes. Published by Psychology Press, this updated edition arrives 10 years after the original publication. While the first edition served as a roadmap for an emerging field, this volume reflects the significant growth and evolution of social cognition research. This text tracks how the field moved from borrowing methods from cognitive psychology to establishing its own robust theories and research areas. It provides a look at how concepts that were once limited in scope have expanded into the dominant areas of study seen today.
