ISCON
(International Social Cognition Network)
The International Social Cognition Network (ISCON) was formed as
a joint enterprise between the European Social Cognition Network
and the Person Memory Interest Group to act as an umbrella society
to advance the international study of social cognition. Among the
objectives of ISCON are to advance the understanding of social
cognition by encouraging research and the preparation of papers and
reports, holding meetings for the presentation of scientific
papers, possibly sponsoring or issuing publications containing
scientific papers and other material pertinent to the furtherance
of the Network's goals, establishing professional honors and awards
to recognize excellence in social cognition research, and
cooperating with other scientific and professional societies.
We seek to represent social cognition, broadly defined. We view
social cognition not as a content area, but rather as an approach
to understanding a wide variety of social psychological phenomena
pertaining to many content areas. To borrow from the journal Social
Cognition, the major concerns of the approach are the processes
underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli;
the effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the
processing of information; and the behavioral and interpersonal
consequences of cognitive processes.
ISCON is governed by a steering committee that currently
consists of:
Irene Blair, University of Colorado
Tanya Chartrand, Duke University
Olivier Corneille, Catholic University of Louvain
Ap Dijksterhuis, University of Amsterdam
Thomas Mussweiler, University of Wuerzburg
Jeff Sherman, Northwestern University
Eliot Smith, Indiana University
Fritz Strack, University of Wuerzburg
ISCON acts as official sponsor of the Social Cognition
pre-conference that precedes the annual SPSP conference. It also
sponsors a similar pre-conference to precede the tri-annual meeting
of the European Association of Experimental Social Psychology,
beginning summer 2005 in Wuerzburg. ISCON also is the official
sponsor of the Person Memory Interest Group (PMIG) conference that
precedes the annual SESP conference.
