Summary:

"This comprehensive Research Handbook explores the state of the art of social judgment research. Leading and emerging scholars examine theoretical and methodological aspects of the field, including judgments of individuals, groups, and non-human social actors, and social judgment in applied, real-world domains. Chapters analyze seminal findings and trace the development of key areas of social judgment research. Authors explore social judgments in various contexts, including the justice system, charitable giving, animal moral standing, and interactions with AI. This Research Handbook also looks to the future, highlighting opportunities for further investigation of understudied areas in social judgment research such as its temporal dynamics and the impact of culture. The Research Handbook on Social Judgment is a crucial resource for students and scholars of psychology and the wider social and behavioral sciences, particularly those interested in impression formation, moral judgment, or intergroup bias. Practitioners working in communication and psychology will also benefit from its valuable insights into how, when, and why social judgments are formed"-- Provided by publisher.
