with the gathering and processing of information related to social Pg
objects. 119,
Attitudes, impression formation and attribution are such processes 120
which involve mental activities related to the gathering and
interpretation of information about the social world. Collectively this
is called social cognition.
Schemas guide social cognition 3
set of rules or guidelines for processing information about any object.
Most of the schemas are in the form of categories or classes
Schemas that function in the form of categories are called prototypes +1
Schemas reduce time and mental effort required in cognition
In social cognition, category based schemas that are related to groups
of people are called stereotypes.

which is in turn influenced by
recency effect
halo effect
Attribution that a person makes for his / her own positive and negative
experiences (actor role) and the attribution he / she makes for another
person‟s positive and negative experiences (observer role) is called actor-
observer effect but criteria of attribution become different. When individual
attributes his / her own success, he / she emphasises on internal factors but
for failures to the external factors.
