1 About this book

Fiske and Taylor carefully integrate the many new threads of social cognition research that have emerged, including developments within social neuroscience, cultural psychology and some areas of applied psychology, and continue to tell a powerful and comprehensive story about what social cognition is and why it's a significant phenomenon in society today. Every chapter now includes figures and tables, glossary entries, and further readings.

Good for readers who want: science and a long read.
