Social psychologists attempt to explain how we interact by appealing to basic principles of how we think. To make good on this ambition, they are increasingly relying on an interconnected set of formal tools that model inference, attribution, value-guided decision making, and multi-agent interactions. By reviewing progress in each of these areas and highlighting the connections between them, we can better appreciate the structure of social thought and behavior, while also coming to understand when, why, and how formal tools can be useful for social psychologists.
社会心理学家试图通过诉诸我们思考方式的基本原理来解释我们如何互动。为了实现这一目标，他们越来越多地依赖于一套相互关联的正式工具，这些工具可以对推理、归因、价值导向的决策和多主体交互进行建模。通过回顾这些领域的进展，并突出它们之间的联系，我们可以更好地理解社会思维和行为的结构，同时也了解何时、为何以及如何正式工具对社会心理学家有用。
