"The first textbook expressly concerned with social cognition -- how people come to know their social world. It is simultaneously the first concerned with implicit psychology -- the largely unformulated theories or inferential rules that ordinary people use in understanding and predicting one another's behavior. ... This book earns very high marks. The material is organized beautifully. ... The writing is informal and clear. ... The author's concern with the behavioral consequences of social cognition is laudable." --Contemporary Psychology
Do you want to learn more about early social cognition? Implicit Psychology, published in 1977, remains a good source for discovering the background of social cognition. Wegner and Vallacher break out the fundamental issues of social cognition, some of which continue to be open areas of debate. A nice classic, a must have for any student of social cognition.
