Understanding and representing other people -- understanding and representing social groups -- regulation of social behavior -- Navigating social life.
Summary:
"Todorov, Fiske and Prentice have assembled the leading figures of the nascent field of social neuroscience in a volume that is rich with ideas and the data to support them. The text considers brain systems involved in issues such as racism and dehumanized perception, the distinction between thinking about the self and about others, self-regulation and the symbolic processing of affect, emotional decision making, the components of trustworthiness in face perception, and the fate of the soul."--Gregory McCarthy, Professor of Psychology, Yale University. "Social Neuroscience provides an up-to-date survey of key themes and findings, focusing on cognitive neuroscience studies in humans. Contributions from many of the major players in the field cover topics ranging from face perception, to stereotyping and bias, to regulation, decision-making and moral judgment. Importantly, the contributions all convey the excitement of the field and point to future studies, fuel for motivating the next generation of young scientists in social neuroscience."--Ralph Adolphs, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, California Institute of Technology.
