The article argues that current research on social cognition, social neuroscience, and evolutionary social psychology is missing an important aspect related to beliefs and attitudes towards social groups. Early accounts focused on beliefs and attitudes towards social reference groups and both social and non-social objects. Integrating this earlier perspective with modern research could provide new insights and opportunities for these disciplines.
