Biography

Emily Balcetis, director of the New York University Social Perception Action and Motivation research lab, earned her PhD at Cornell University and leads an international team to uncover strategies that increase, sustain, and direct people's efforts to meet their goals.

Gordon B. Moskowitz, conducts research on social cognition, with a focus on stereotyping, impression formation, minority influence, and the implicit influence of goals on judgment and behavior. His research program more recently has examined interventions to control/reduce implicit bias, with implications for group disparities in health care.

"This state of the art volume on social cognition brilliantly documents the insights, findings and novel methods brought to bear on this indispensable domain of psychological science. I find it a perfect reference book and a highly useful text for courses and seminars on this topic" — Arie W. Kruglanski, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland

"A remarkable volume on the past, present, and future of research on impression formation, inspired by one its seminal figures." — Daniel Gilbert, Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology, Harvard University

"Jim Uleman was ahead of his time, early on recognizing spontaneous trait inferences for their crucial role in impression formation. This array of authors across generations honors his prescience. It’s also a great overview of the current state of the field of impression formation." — Susan T. Fiske, Eugene Higgins Professor, Princeton University

"This Handbook of Impression Formation contains a remarkable collection of papers that manages to capture the breadth and depth of the most significant work on impression formation. It includes a stellar group of authors representing those who played a historical role in the development of the area of impression formation and those currently breaking new ground both theoretically and empirically in this area. It highlights the power and sweep of this central area of social cognition. For those interested in person perception and social psychology more generally, this Handbook is a must read." — E. Tory Higgins, Stanley Schachter Professor of Psychology and Professor of Business, Columbia University. Author of Shared Reality: What Makes Us Strong and Tears Us Apart
