Feeling and Thinking : The Role of Affect in Social Cognition (Studies in Emotion and Social Interaction)

Rating:
Summary: A great book on affect!
Review: This book presents one of the best summaries of recent psychological research on how feelings, emotions and moods influence our thinking, judgments and behaviors. The chapters are written by a stellar collection of international contributors from the USA, Europe and Australia. The chapters deal with such topical and interesting issues as the role of affect in forecasting future events, the links between affect and thinking processes, the influence of everyday mood states on social behaviors, the contributions of feeling to the way people use implicit stereotypes and the like. The book should be of great interest to everybody who is fascinated by the psychology of affect in everyday life - students, laypersons, clinicians, counsellors, and researchers alike.
