This volume presents a collection of chapters exploring the interface
of cognitive and affective processes in stereotyping. Stereotypes and
prejudice have long been topics of interest in social psychology, but
early literature and research in this area focused on affect alone,
while later studies focused primarily on cognitive factors associated
with information processing strategies. This volume integrates the
roles of both affect and cognition with regard to the formation,
representation, and modification of stereotypes and the implications
of these processes for the escalation or amelioration of intergroup
tensions.
