ABSTRACT
The theme of this conference has been described as the marriage of cognitive and social psychology. Although this phrase may characterize the thinking of our symposium participants, some caution is warranted regarding the generalizability of this belief. Whereas social psychology has a strong cognitive tradition and although there has been considerable recent experimentation with cognitive theories and methodologies, there is little evidence of a widespread shift in this direction on the part of all or even most social psychologists. Likewise, although many cognitive psychologists are now exploring social stimuli and situations, this emphasis is by no means universal.
