Good social neuroscience, assert Harmon-Jones (psychology, Texas A&M U.) and Winkielman (psychology, U. of California at San Diego), avoids the charges of reductionism and can benefit both parent fields of neuroscience and social psychology by deriving novel psychological hypotheses, testing these policies using a broad range of methods from both fields, and providing cross-disciplinary perspectives that provide better understanding in problems found other domains. They present 22 papers that provide programmatic overviews of recent research into emotion processes; motivation processes; attitudes and social cognition; person perception, stereotyping, and prejudice; and interpersonal relationships. The papers have been selected to represent a wide variety of theoretical approaches, including social, cognitive, clinical, biological, personality, and evolutionary perspectives, and authors have been asked to write such that their work is accessible to researchers in other fields.
