Editorial Reviews

This major international series publishes outstanding work from all nations, with an emphasis on providing an English language source for important theoretical and empirical work that has not previously been published in English. Volume three contains ten contributions, of which half deal with questions related to the topic of intergroup perception and relations, two deal with central issues of social cognition, two offer illustrations of the immense applicability of theorizing and research on social cognition, and the final contribution presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of the evolution of the self concept in adolescence.
