Where the Warm Winds Blow

Reviews Handbook of motivation and cognition, Vol. 3: The interpersonal context (see record 1996-98385-000). In the first two volumes in this series, warm winds bearing the concepts of affect, goals, and self blew gently over the fields of cognition and social cognition. The winds have shifted in this latest volume to reach new territories of interpersonal processes, group dynamics, and social relations. This new volume showcases powerful conceptual models built on earlier work in motivation and cognition that promise to thaw traditional thinking in some of social psychology's classic problem areas, particularly stereotyping and prejudice. As a good handbook should do, this handbook reflects current theorizing in the cognitive-motivation field and indicates future directions. An added benefit of this volume is that research and theory are made accessible to researchers both within and outside the field through the presentation of detailed theoretical accounts and provocative research paradigms.
