Norbert Schwarz, PhD, Charles Horton Cooley Collegiate Professor of Psychology, University of Michigan For many years, psychologists and laypersons have been fascinated by the idea that people are unaware of many mental processes that drive their social behavior. This volume presents a comprehensive review of cutting-edge research on what these mental processes are, whether they can be accurately measured, and how they affect human relations. Cumulatively, the chapters in this book shed new light on the old question of whether people know more about themselves than they can or want to tell.

PsycCRITIQUES, 5/21/2010ƒƒ A primary strength of this volume is the way in which seemingly different areas of research have been organized into five distinct sections, each of which builds upon the previous sections to provide a comprehensive understanding of implicit social cognition: (1) the basic information needed to understand implicit social cognition research, (2) detailed descriptions of relevant methods and procedures, (3) cross-cutting perspectives, (4) domain-specific perspectives, and (5) practical applications....That such a comprehensive and cross-cutting review can be generated from such contemporary research is an indicator of the breadth and depth of implicit social cognition research. It is a valuable strength of this book that many chapters provide a strong focus on empirical methods as well as exciting avenues for future research. Even the novice researcher may benefit from the practical guides to implicit theory and measurement. This book would be especially interesting and useful for active researchers across a variety of domains who are interested in understanding how implicit processes can influence human behavior.
