ABSTRACT. Research
into the dynamics of interpersonal cognition has established
a number of principles governing thought processes before, during,
and after a social interaction. We begin this article by reviewing
these principles, including the representation of interpersonal
knowledge, the activation of interpersonal knowledge in the mind
through both conscious and unconscious means, and the important
role attention plays in these processes. We then summarize examples
of the successful modification of some of these habits of thinking
about social knowledge. In this manner we hope to contribute
to the development of dialogical science by providing an overview
of potentially useful research findings and methodological strategies
from which dialogical scientists may draw. |
