The role of affect in how people think and behave in social situations has been a source of fascination to laymen and philosophers since time immemorial. Surprisingly, most of what we know about the role of feelings in social thinking and behavior has been discovered only during the last two decades. Affect in Social Thinking and Behavior reviews and integrates the most recent research and theories on this exciting topic, and features original contributions reviewing key areas of affect research from leading researchers active in the area.

The book covers fundamental issues, such as the nature and relationship between affect and cognition, as well as chapters that deal with the cognitive antecedents of emotion, and the consequences of affect for social cognition and behavior.

This volume offers a highly integrated and comprehensive coverage of this field, and is suitable as a core textbook in advanced courses dealing with the role of affect in social cognition and behavior.

Industry Reviews

'In this handbook volume, Joe Forgas gathered the very best psychologists and asked them to talk about the causes and consequences of affect in social life. The conversation is wide-ranging and illuminating. From evolution to neuroscience to decision-making, these chapters force us to think new thoughts, and to rethink some old ones.' - Daniel Gilbert, Department of Psychology, Harvard University, author of Stumbling on Happiness
