The book that came first remains first' Daniel Gilbert Harvard University. Perfectly pitched and lucidly written, the book provides an engaging and highly informative tour of the heartland of social psychology' Tony Manstead Cardiff University. Integrating insights from social, cognitive and cultural psychology as well as neuroscience, Fiske and Taylor provide a comprehensive framework for understanding how people make sense of themselves and others.
The volume offers fresh, accessible and applicable answers to psychology's most pressing questions' - Hazel Markus Stanford University, USA. Students who have already taken a course in the latter will have an opportunity to reflect on ways that social thought and feelings affect influence social behaviour.
However, those students who have never studied social psychology proper will be at no disadvantage if Social Cognition is their first exposure to it. Besides an index and references section, the text also has a helpful glossary containing definitions for the keywords interspersed throughout its 15 chapters. Instructors will find the work to be an excellent classroom resource - well written, scholarly, often humorous, sometimes wry, and full of excellent examples - as well as a helpful source to the burgeoning research touching on social thought, culture, and brain processes.
A very nice textbook that takes students through the vast field of Social Cognition. I couldn't justify making it recommended as there was too much material not directly relevant to my course this is the nature of the course - not the book.
As it stands, I will recommend they purchase this book as it will increase their understanding of social cognition. This is a very informative and helpful textbook! I found it to be concisely written and I very much agree with Miles Hewstone in that the book is rich in both "depth and breadth" as quoted from the back cover.
The covered topics are wisely chosen and portrayed nicely. I especially like the inclusion of neuroscience and culture as topics which my students are usually not much familiar with.
Thanks very much for sending me the inspection copy. It was and still is fun to read. The book is in fact quite good and comprehensive in terms of topics, but I have decided against it for the mentioned seminar for the following main reasons: culture as factor in itself is treated much too little - the impact of culture or at least a discussion of the cultural impact and the link to behaviour needs to be shown much more; many sections are rather short and too cursory - many need more substance, although I realize this is not always possible, depending on the overall book concept; finally, there should be more case studies as illustrations of concepts and processes, for example on the link of cognition and behaviour or affect and behaviour, for example in political behaviour or group behaviour.
Again, the book is quite good, but after all not sufficiently suited to the needs and content of my seminar. Thank you. This book provides excellent overview of social cognition research. It's appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in social psychology. Chapter One.
