Feeling and Thinking: The Role of Affect in Social Cognition

Affective states have a highly important, yet little understood influence on how people think about, remember, and respond to social situations. This book offers new insights on the fundamental links between affect and cognition, and reports recent research and theories illustrating how affective states can play a subtle and often subconscious role in guiding peoples' thoughts, memories, judgments, attitudes and behaviors in social situations.
