The chapters report recent research and theories illustrating how evolutionary principles can shed new light on the subtle and, often, subconscious ways that cognitive mechanisms guide peoples' thoughts, memories, judgments, attitudes, and behaviors in social life."--BOOK JACKET Analysis Social psychology Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Social perception.
