This paper represents Part II in a two-part paper which integrates theory and research in social cognition with research in clothing and human behavior. Part II addresses the three stages of social cognition (pre-processing, processing, and post-processing) and factors which affect each of these three stages. Existing research in clothing and human behavior is interpreted within this framework and suggestions are made for future research.
