Forgas University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia Cím: Feeling, thinking and doing: Affective influences on social cognition and behavior Absztrakt: The role of affect in social thinking and behavior has been a source of fascination to philosophers and writers since time immemorial. Surprisingly, psychological research on this question is relatively recent. This paper reviews historical and contemporary theories about the role of affect in interpersonal behavior, and argues that affect can influence both the content (valence), as well as the process of social interaction. Further, it is proposed that the presence and extent of affective influences on social cognition and interpersonal behaviors is mediated by the kinds of cognitive information processing strategies people employ in different social situations. Extensive recent evidence is reviewed demonstrating affective influences on social memory and judgments, spontaneous interactions, the production of persuasive messages, on how social behaviors are interpreted, on the use and responses to requests, and on bargaining and negotiating strategies. The applied and theoretical implications of this work for a variety of areas of psychology are discussed, and future directions for this area of research are outlined.
