Presents a series of studies assessing whether people recruit specific exemplars or abstract trait summaries when making trait judgments about themselves. The limitations of social cognition paradigms, as methods for studying the representation of long-term social knowledge, are discussed.
If anyone deserves the title "father of social cognition," it is William J. McGuire who, along with his wife and colleague Claire V. McGuire, has written the target article for this volume.
