Following William J. McGuire's model as a theorist and researcher, this resource brings together psychologists from Europe, Israel and North America offering new and emerging agendas for social cognition, under the common theme of perspectivist methodology and the study of thought systems. Additionally, the book offers a historical approach to the study of stereotyping and intergroup relations and uses language as an indicator of social psychological processes.
