Description
This volume presents a collection of chapters exploring the interface of cognitive and affective processes in stereotyping. Stereotypes
and prejudice have long been topics of interest in social psychology, but early literature and research in this area focused on affect
alone, while later studies focused primarily on cognitive factors associated with information processing strategies. This volume integrates
the roles of both affect and cognition with regard to the formation, representation, and modification of stereotypes and the implications
of these processes for the escalation or amelioration of intergroup tensions.
