شناخت اجتماعی نیز یکی از حوزه هایی است که در اثر تعامل روان شناسی اجتماعی با علوم شناختی شکل گرفته است و سعی دارد برداشت انسان ها را از خودشان و دیگران با استفاده از یافته های علوم شناختی مورد تحلیل و مطالعه قرار دهد که چرا انسان ها درفرهنگ های مختلف رفتار مشابه و یا متضاد دارند و اساسا اطلاعات برآمده از تعامل انسان ها با هم چگونه درمغز افراد یک جامعه پردازش می شود.چگونه افراد یک جامعه به یک برداشت جمعی می رسند و روح جمعی آن جامعه شکل می گیرد.
Susan Tufts Fiske is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. She is a social psychologist known for her work on social cognition, stereotypes, and prejudice.
There is a lot of work put into this book, which provides a great overview of social cognition. There are, however, four major drawbacks in my view: 1. It portrays lots of research within social psychology that have not withstood the test of replication (the so-called replication crisis in social psychology). This can be corrected in new editions, though; 2. It gives much weight to neuroscience when it should have been providing both an evolutionary lenses and a cross-cultural perspective to the discussed behaviors; 3. Hence, most reported studies were done with WEIRD subjects, making it difficult to generalize to populations living outside industrialized countries; 4. Finally, it is inexcusable to ignore the work of Keith Stanovich on the tripartite model of the mind. Several theoretical issues and conundrums discussed in the book could be better understood under the light provided by the (great) work done by Stanovich and colleagues.

A must read for students of psychology who would understand Cognitive-Behavioral Psychology. The text provides a basis for understanding elements of social cognition, attribution theory, and social schemata, along with many processes of social cognition.
Una lectura valiosa para ampliar el conocimiento psicológico. En la práctica clínica se tienden a colocar del lado aspectos cruciales sobre la psicología social. Como profesionales es importante mantenerse informado sobre las maneras en las que los grupos pueden influir en las personas.
La obra fue interesante e hizo un buen trabajo en transmitir tanta información de manera concreta. Me pareció interesante que se reconozca el trabajo que falta en el campo y espero en el futuro continuemos entendiendo los efectos de la cognición social en el individuo.
