ABSTRACT

This remarkable collection shows that a dizzying array of bridges now connects social psychology to many subareas of psychological science and other fields in all directions, and that their builders are excited, with good reason, about where they are going: to cognition, biology, neuroscience, personality, emotion, development, speech science, health and behavioral medicine, economics, political science, culture, and more. The bridges vary greatly in spans and width, in levels, in traffic flow, and they are going up fast, some more solid than others. Social psychology may be becoming a traffic hub, a vibrant, busy intersection of bridges.
