Description
Presenting diverse perspectives from eminent scholars and contemporary researchers, The Handbook of Impression Formation contextualizes current and future areas of research in the social psychology of impression formation within a rich historic framework.
Affirming that impression formation is at the core of human experience, chapters explore how and why people form snap judgments about others and when those impressions update. They examine the processes through which people infer the reasons for the events they encounter, allowing people to plan for appropriate behavioral responses to social contexts. The research reviewed is informed by the foundational theory of unconscious automatic processes involved in making judgements of other people, pioneered by Professor Jim Uleman who contributes a chapter that suggests important new directions, and concludes the volume by reflecting on the state of the field more broadly. The book explores how certain attributes stimulate categorization, examining current issues around implicit bias, stereotypes, and social media. Chapters cover a range of approaches, featuring personal narratives, presentation of new data and discoveries, comprehensive literature reviews, and contemplations on where the field must go and what questions require focus for progress to be made, calling for even the most advanced scholars to contribute more to the collective investigation of impression formation.
This fascinating work provides a solid foundation from which all researchers can build a new and unique program of research, and arms the reader with the intellectual tools they need to chart new theoretical territory and discover aspects of the human experience we have yet to even wonder about. It is essential reading for students and academics in social psychology, and the social sciences more broadly.

"This state of the art volume on social cognition brilliantly documents the insights, findings and novel methods brought to bear on this indispensable domain of psychological science. I find it a perfect reference book and a highly useful text for courses and seminars on this topic" - Arie W. Kruglanski, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland"A remarkable volume on the past, present, and future of research on impression formation, inspired by one its seminal figures." - Daniel Gilbert, Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology, Harvard University "This state of the art volume on social cognition brilliantly documents the insights, findings and novel methods brought to bear on this indispensable domain of psychological science.

"Jim Uleman was ahead of his time, early on recognizing spontaneous trait inferences for their crucial role in impression formation. This array of authors across generations honors his prescience. It's also a great overview of the current state of the field of impression formation." - Susan T. Fiske, Eugene Higgins Professor, Princeton University
"This Handbook of Impression Formation contains a remarkable collection of papers that manages to capture the breadth and depth of the most significant work on impression formation. It includes a stellar group of authors representing those who played a historical role in the development of the area of impression formation and those currently breaking new ground both theoretically and empirically in this area. It highlights the power and sweep of this central area of social cognition. For those interested in person perception and social psychology more generally, this Handbook is a must read." - E. Tory Higgins, Stanley Schachter Professor of Psychology and Professor of Business, Columbia University. Author of Shared Reality: What Makes Us Strong and Tears Us Apart
