“…Consistent with this idea, a large literature has shown that increasing self-focused attention increases the likelihood that an individual will follow societal or situational norms (Carver and Scheier, 1981;Wicklund, 1975). The fact that focusing on the self increases conformity rather than defiance against conformity as one affirms one's personal beliefs and values is a surprising finding and one that has never been entirely explained.…”

This article introduces the special issue of NeuroImage focused on social cognitive neuroscience. Social psychology has a rich history of making sense of the often paradoxical aspects of social cognition and the social world. This article reviews the principles, processes, and puzzles of social cognition and behavior that have been examined by social psychologists for decades. Five principles of social cognition and behavior are reviewed including: (1) the power of the situation over behavior, (2) blindness for situational influences, (3) social perception and self-perception are constructive processes, (4) blindness for the constructed nature of social and self-perception, and (5) self-processes are social. Four processes of social cognition are reviewed including: (1) cognitive architecture; (2) automaticity and control; (3) motivated reasoning; and (4) accessibility, frames, and expectations. Finally, five areas of social cognition that contain enduring puzzles are described including (1) the self, (2) attitudes, (3) reflective social cognition, (4) automatic social cognition, and (5) social motives. In several of the areas of study reviewed, cognitive neuroscience is well positioned to make important contributions to these research traditions either by allowing for new tests of hypotheses or by allowing for unobtrusive measurement of social cognitive processes.

“…Die Aufgabenstellung für die Probanden besteht darin, dass jeweils drei Personen gemeinsam mit den ihnen zur Verfügung stehenden Löschgeräten (Feuerwehrautos und Hubschrauber) einen Flächenbrand bekämpfen müssen, der in bestimmten Segmenten auf der Bildschirmoberfläche ausbricht. In Anlehnung an Steiners Taxonomie handelt es sich beim gemeinsamen Bekämpfen der Feuer um eine additive Optimierungsaufgabe (Steiner 1972 (Comer 1995;Earley 1989;Gabrenya et al 1983Gabrenya et al , 1985Williams, Nida, Baca und Latané 1989 (Karau und Williams 1993, 1995Shepperd 1993 (Duval und Wicklund 1972, 1973Wicklund 1975). Beim Lösen des komplexen Problems wird dieser Leistungsstandard nicht so einfach erzielt, weshalb sich Personen umso mehr anstrengen.…”

“…In the seventies, experiments on cheating that disclosed heightened self-awareness reduced cheating behavior and could easily be manipulated by the presence of a mirror (Diener and Wallbom 1976;Wicklund 1975). 6 When the participants made their choice in the Batson experiment with a mirror hung on one of the walls, the CD effect disappeared completely.…”

According to some, contemporary social psychology is aptly described as a study in moral hypocrisy. In this paper we argue that this is unfortunate when understood as establishing that we only care about appearing to act morally, not about true moral action. A philosophically more interesting interpretation of the Bmoral hypocrisy^-findings understands it to establish that we care so much about morality that it might lead to (1) self-deception about the moral nature of our motives and/or (2) misperceptions regarding what we should or should not do in everyday or experimental situations. In this paper we argue for this claim by elaborating on a fascinating series of experiments by Daniel Batson and his colleagues who have consistently contributed to the moral hypocrisy findings since the late nineties, and showing in what way they contribute to a better understanding of moral agency, rather than undermine the idea that we are moral agents.
