Review :
"Successfully provides a selective yet comprehensive overview of seminal findings, theoretical developments, emerging themes, current and new directions, applications, and unresolved issues of social cognition research. The authors not only provide lucid, scholarly, detailed discussions, but also reveal and revel in enhanced communication among subdisciplines within and outside psychology...The [ital]Handbook of Implicit Social Cognition[/ital] deserves a careful reading and rereading and a special place on the bookshelf of anyone serious about empirically exploring this topic. It would be a useful resource in an advanced undergraduate or graduate social cognition research course." - David D. Simpson, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 56, No. 5, February 2011 "This Handbook comes at exactly the right time and from the right editors and contributors. Recently, the field has been flooded with all kinds of approaches to and perspectives on implicit social cognition. In this book, leading experts define what implicit social cognition is (and is not) and how one can try to measure it. The volume provides both a theoretical treatment of this fascinating topic and a practical guide to sidestepping the pitfalls of available measurement techniques. It belongs on the shelves of any social psychologist who values sound and solid science." - Diederik A. Stapel, Director, Tilburg Institute for Behavioral Economics Research, Tilburg University, The Netherlands "Research into implicit social cognition keeps growing at a rapid rate. This authoritative handbook takes stock of where we are and offers perspectives on where we might go. In 29 chapters, a stellar group of contributors identify the conceptual foundations of implicit social cognition, provide practical advice on the use of implicit measures, and review what has been learned from them in a broad range of areas, from attitude and personality research to health psychology, politics, and consumer behavior. This Handbook will be an invaluable resource for years to come and required reading in many graduate courses." - Norbert Schwarz, Charles Horton Cooley Collegiate Professor of Psychology, University of Michigan, USA "For many years, psychologists and laypersons have been fascinated by the idea that people are unaware of many mental processes that drive their social behavior. This volume presents a comprehensive review of cutting-edge research on what these mental processes are, whether they can be accurately measured, and how they affect human relations. Cumulatively, the chapters in this book shed new light on the old question of whether people know more about themselves than they can or want to tell." - Yaacov Trope, Department of Psychology, New York University, USA
