Detailed procedural information helps researchers and students take their first steps in using these state-of-the-art tools. Each chapter is illustrated with recent research examples and includes helpful recommendations for further reading. This book will be important reading for researchers and graduate students in social psychology. It may also serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses in social cognition and psychology research methods.
