Effective social interaction requires sophisticated mental and motivational strategies. The Social Mind reviews and integrates psychological research on the relationship between people's thoughts and motives - their 'social mind' - and their interpersonal strategies. The research shows that success in personal relationships, group behaviour and strategic interaction are all significantly influenced by how individuals interpret and explain the social world around them. The implications of this research for personal adjustment, organizational effectiveness and clinical, counselling and health psychology are also explored.

Reviews & endorsements
'At last here is a volume that provides a compelling answer to the question of what is 'social' about social cognition. The editors have assembled a stellar cast of social psychology researchers to address this question head-on and the result is eye-opening and mind-expanding. From intraindividual to interpersonal to group processes, the consistent message throughout the chapters of the volume is that of the inextricable connections between human cognition and social behavior. Empirically and conceptually the contributors to this project make a convincing case that, for human beings, mental life is social life.' Marilynn B. Brewer, Ohio State University
