      Aristotle long ago characterized man as a ‘social animal.’ Social psychologists have spent a century classifying the countless interpersonal and intrapersonal factors that guide our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors throughout daily life. It is only in the past 15 years since the dawn of the twenty-first century that social psychologists have turned to neuroscience as a new type of tool to investigate how our brains respond to the social world. Just like social psychology itself, this new field of social cognitive neuroscience extends broadly across many topics that do not always seem social at first blush but that are critical to successfully navigating our social lives.
