Social neuroscience, often viewed as studying the neural foundations of social cognition, has roots in multiple disciplines. This paper argues that it needs a firmer base in social psychology. First, we outline some major opportunities from social psychology--the power of social context and social motives in shaping human behavior. Second, as the social cognition field moves away from studying only deliberate, explicit processes to studying also automatic, implicit processes, adopting a dual-process perspective, social neuroscience also lends itself to both automatic and controlled processes. Finally, social neuroscience is especially suited to study the efficiency and spontaneity of social judgments. All this brings social behavioral grounding to cognitive neuroscience. Among the implications for social neuroscience: Social cognition intrinsically evokes affect, so social cognitive affective neuroscience glues together a variety of fields in psychological and neurosciences.
社会神经科学通常被视为研究社会认知的神经基础，它植根于多个学科。本文认为，它需要在社会心理学方面有更坚实的基础。首先，我们概述了社会心理学带来的一些主要机遇——社会背景和社会动机在塑造人类行为方面的力量。其次，随着社会认知领域从仅研究有意的、外显的过程转向也研究自动的、内隐的过程，采用双加工视角，社会神经科学也适用于自动和控制过程。最后，社会神经科学特别适合研究社会判断的效率和自发性。所有这些都为认知神经科学带来了社会行为基础。对社会神经科学的影响包括：社会认知本质上会引发情感，因此社会认知情感神经科学将心理学和神经科学的各个领域联系在一起。
