The Construction of Social Judgments (Cog Studies Grp of the Inst for Behavioral Research at UGA)

Researchers have been addressing social judgment from a cognitive perspective for more than 15 years. Within recent years, however, it has become increasingly clear that many of the models and assumptions initially adopted are in need of revision. The chapters in this volume point out where the original models and assumptions have fallen short, and suggest directions for future research and theorizing. The contributors address issues related to judgment, memory, affect, attitudes, and self-perception. In addition, many present theoretical frameworks within which these different issues can be integrated. As such, this volume represents the transition from one era of social cognition research to the next.The Construction of Social Judgments (Cog Studies Grp of the Inst for Behavioral Research at UGA), was published 1992 under ISBN 9780805811490 and ISBN 0805811494.
