  • Social Comprehension and Judgment

    The Role of Situation Models, Narratives, and Implicit Theories

    by Robert S. Wyer, Jr. ...
    Written by one of the foremost authorities in social cognition, Social Comprehension and Judgment examines how people process information encountered in their everyday lives. In the book, Dr. Wyer proposes a new theory about the way in which information acquired in everyday life is comprehended and represented in memory, and how it is later used as a basis for judgments and decisions. A major ... Read more

    by Robert S. Wyer, Jr., Thomas K. Srull ...
    The first comprehensive theoretical formulation of the way people use information they receive about their social environments to make judgments and behavioral decisions, this volume focuses on the cognitive processes that underlie the use of social information.

  • Perspectives on Behavioral Self-Regulation

    Advances in Social Cognition, Volume XII

    Edited by Robert S. Wyer, Jr. ...
    Series series Advances in Social Cognition Series
    The feedback model of self-regulation developed by the authors of the lead article in this volume has been one of the most successful theoretical formulations of regulatory processes to date. The range of phenomena to which this framework potentially applies is evident from its ability to incorporate implications of other conceptualizations as diverse as catastrophe theory and dynamic systems ...

  • The Automaticity of Everyday Life

    Advances in Social Cognition, Volume X

    Edited by Robert S. Wyer, Jr. ...
    Series series Advances in Social Cognition Series
    As Skinner argued so pointedly, the more we know about the situational causes of psychological phenomena, the less need we have for postulating internal conscious mediating processes to explain those phenomena. Now, as the purview of social psychology is precisely to discover those situational causes of thinking, feeling, and acting in the real or implied presence of other people, it is hard to ...

  • Stereotype Activation and Inhibition

    Advances in Social Cognition, Volume XI

    Edited by Robert S. Wyer, Jr. ...
    Series series Advances in Social Cognition Series
    The use of social sterotypes as a basis for judgments and behavioral decisions has been a major focus of social psychological theory and research since the field began. Although motivational and cognitive influences on stereotyping have been considered, these two general types of influence have rarely been conceptually integrated within a common theoretical framework. Nevertheless, almost every ... Read more

  • Ruminative Thoughts

    Advances in Social Cognition, Volume IX

    Edited by Robert S. Wyer, Jr. ...
    Series series Advances in Social Cognition Series
    Until recently, most theory and research in social information processing has focused attention on the cognitive activity that underlies responses to stimulus information presented in the immediate situation being investigated. In contrast, people's thoughts outside the laboratory often concern life events that either have occurred in the past or are likely to occur in the future. Thoughts about ... Read more

  • Knowledge and Memory: the Real Story

    Advances in Social Cognition, Volume VIII

    Edited by Robert S. Wyer, Jr. ...
    Series series Advances in Social Cognition Series
    Narrative forms of mental representation and their influence on comprehension, communication and judgment, have rapidly become one of the main foci of research and theory in not only psychology but also other disciplines, including linguistics, sociology, and anthropology. No one has been more responsible for the awakening of interest in this area than Roger Schank and Bob Abelson. In their target ... Read more

  • Person Memory (PLE: Memory)

    The Cognitive Basis of Social Perception

    Edited by Reid Hastie, Thomas Ostrom, Ebbe Ebbesen, Robert Wyer, David Hamilton, Donal Carlston ...
    Series series Psychology Library Editions: Memory
    Originally published in 1980, this title came about after many late night discussions between the authors during a 3-week workshop on Mathematical Approaches to Person Perception in 1974. In subsequent meetings a mutual interest emerged in the development of cognitive information processing metaphors for human thought and their application to problems of social perception, memory and judgment. ...

    A Dual Process Model of Impression Formation

    Edited by Robert S. Wyer, Jr., Thomas K. Srull ...
    Series series Advances in Social Cognition Series
    This volume presents different perspectives on a dual model of impression formation -- a theory about how people form impressions about other people by combining information about a person with prior knowledge found in long-term memory. This information is of real importance to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in cognitive and social psychology, experimental psychology, social ... Read more

  • Handbook of Social Cognition

    Volume 1: Basic Processes

    Edited by Thomas K. Srull, Robert S. Wyer, Jr. ...
    This edition of the Handbook follows the first edition by 10 years. The earlier edition was a promissory note, presaging the directions in which the then-emerging field of social cognition was likely to move. The field was then in its infancy and the areas of research and theory that came to dominate the field during the next decade were only beginning to surface. The concepts and methods used had ...

  • Perspectives on Anger and Emotion

    Advances in Social Cognition, Volume Vi

    Edited by Robert S. Wyer, Jr., Thomas K. Srull ...
    Series series Advances in Social Cognition Series
    In this volume, Berkowitz develops the argument that experiential and behavioral components of an emotional state are affected by many processes: some are highly cognitive in nature; others are automatic and involuntary. Cognitive and associative mechanisms theoretically come into play at different times in the emotion-cognition sequence. The model he proposes, therefore, integrates theoretical ... Read more

  • The Mental Representation of Trait and Autobiographical Knowledge About the Self

    Advances in Social Cognition, Volume V

    Edited by Thomas K. Srull, Robert S. Wyer, Jr. ...
    Series series Advances in Social Cognition Series
    If there is one topic on which we all are experts, it is ourselves. Psychologists depend upon this expertise, as asking people questions about themselves is an important means by which they gather the data that provide much of the evidence for psychological theory. Personal recollections play an important role in clinical theorizing; people's thoughts, feelings, and beliefs provide the principal ... Read more
