Book Description
The apparent success of cognitive principles in accounting for several behaviors has led social psychologists to question the need for motivations and other hot dispositional constructs. In their place, they postulate nonmotivational cold cognitions. Behavioral variations between individuals are thus reduced to differences in information processing abilities, while biases and other apparently motivated behaviors are explained on the faulty computer model. However, as many cognitive psychologists now acknowledge this mechanistic theory fails to tie the processing of information to the performance of actions.
