Construction of Social Judgments

<p>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.</p>
