Étude del liens entre plusieurs objets de représentations sociales

Resum

This fieldwork is based upon the evolution (over three years) of a set of social representations among grammar school pupils. We investigated the coexistence of several representations, and the evolution of their structure over a period of time; and finally, we analysed the possible relations
between them. An associative compilation of elements relating to three objects of representation (Politics, the Right and the Left) allowed us to show the structural particularities of each representation and to observe a number of modifications: the political representations become more complex with time. Certain new aspects appear within the representation of the Right and finally, the representation of the Left inflects toward
the end of the studies at school, due to art increase in information of the pupils. As for the relations between the representations, they are obvious and statistically significant only for the Right and the Left objects.
