Contributions to this esteemed series offer critical assessments and syntheses of established research programs, encompassing the review and integration of thematic findings by individual scholars or research groups. Volume 63 of the series delves into a diverse range of topics, including Social Evaluation, Whole Traits, Paradoxical Thinking and Intractable Conflicts, Face Perception, and Social Perception.

Social evaluation encompasses the study of how individuals assess and evaluate others, including factors such as attractiveness, trustworthiness, and competence. Whole traits refer to broad personality characteristics or dispositions that are typically measured using self-report questionnaires or observational assessments. Paradoxical thinking involves the exploration of cognitive processes that lead individuals to hold conflicting beliefs or attitudes simultaneously. Intractable conflicts involve situations where individuals are stuck in a cycle of conflict and cannot find a resolution that satisfies all parties involved.

Face perception involves the study of how individuals perceive and interpret facial expressions, including emotions, intentions, and social cues. Social perception encompasses the study of how individuals perceive and interpret social information, including social cues, attitudes, and behaviors of others.

These topics are of paramount importance in understanding the complex dynamics of human social interactions and behavior. By examining these topics in depth, the Advances in Experimental Social Psychology series contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying social cognition, emotion, and behavior, and provides valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike.
