Imagine There Is a War and No One Turns Up! A Response to the Commentaries
In this response to the commentaries, we make one concession and try to clarify two critical points raised by the commentators. The concession is about the common stock of knowledge on which social representations approaches draw in general, and the model outlined in our article in particular. The two points we attempt to clarify concern the importance of both an intergroup perspective and of the structural components of power to our model of soc…
On the Knowledge of Politics and the Politics of Knowledge
Fifty years ago, Serge Moscovici first outlined a theory of social representations. In this article, we attempt to discuss and to contextualize research that has been inspired by this original impetus from the particular angle of its relevance to political psychology. We argue that four defining components of social representations need to be taken into account, and that these elements need to be articulated with insights from the social identity…

Universal Rights and Duties as Normative Social Representations.
Human Rights as Social Representations
There are currently a large number of historical, philosophical, political and judicial studies on human rights. However, a thorough social psychological analysis of their intervention in social relations, extending across national and cultural boundaries, has not been available. This book fills that gap, providing a detailed examination of the foundations of human rights principles, the sources of their universality and their limitations.Using t…

Représentations sociales des droits de l'homme et des droits des peuples autochtones chez des membres de la nation montagnaise ou innu du Québec
This research studies the social representations of human rights and of Aboriginal rights among members of the Montagnais or Innu nation in three communities of Quebec. In these representations we have noted a distinction between the two families of rights in relation to their institutional definitions. However, as in scholarly thought, links between the two systems of rights are equally present in lay thinking. Also analyzed are beliefs about re…
Human Rights and Politics
This questionnaire study was conducted among 202 French-speaking students one month before the 1995 referendum on sovereignty in Quebec. Principal questions concerned: intervention of human rights (HR) attitudes; value priorities; expectations about enforcement and violation of rights (individual/collective) in political choices; and sovereignty representations (for/against). It was found that HR attitudes did not intervene in political choices, …
Human rights studied as social representations in a cross‐national context
A questionnaire study using the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was conducted in 35 countries (N=6791 students). The basic assumption was that human rights can be studied as social representations following the model of Doise, Clémence, & Lorenzi-Cioldi (1993). The existence of a shared meaning system concerning the 30 articles in different countries was demonstrated. Individual attitudes toward the whole set of rights we…
Social psychology and human rights
In this paper I will illustrate the heuristic value of studying human rights as social representations. Results of cross-national studies are reported after a short presentation of social representation theory. Shared meanings in the field of human rights exist within and between cultural and national groups. Other findings concern dimensions on which individuals differ in their positioning toward human rights, related to respondents' beliefs abo…
Representation of human rights across different national contexts
This research studied judgements and inferences on human rights across democratic and non-democratic national contexts. It is argued that when judging different countries, lay perceivers make use of representations of the country's inhabitants. Stereotypically democratic and non-democratic characteristics of national populations are employed as a basis of political judgements, especially in democratic contexts. In three studies the bases of repre…
Organizing principles of involvement in human rights and their social anchoring in value priorities
Two questionnaire studies were conducted (N=80 and N=175) to examine the structure and the social anchoring of the organizing principles of personal and governmental involvement concerning human rights. The results indicated that these organizing principles had, as hypothesized one abstract and one applied dimension. The second study evaluated the correlations between these dimensions and values. Results were consistent with Schwartz's (1992) mod…

Individual and social identities in intergroup relations
Henri Tajfel's contribution to the experimental study of intergroup relations is highlighted and recent complementary approaches are presented. The distinction between deductive and inductive aspects of social categorization and the links between within group and between group interaction and differentiation are commented. A plea is made for studying self as social representation and for considering ethical issues of intergroup relations

Die Ergebnisse einer Fragenbogenuntersuchung (N : 95) zeigen, dass Psychologiestudenten die Erklarungsursachen fiir Delinquenz in folgenden Faktoren sehen : sozio-ökonomische Bedingungen, organische und erbliche Grundlagen, und psychologische und beziehungsbezogene Eigenschaften des Delinquenten.

The categorisation process in intergroup relations
In the first two parts of the paper a distinction is made between a ‚conflict or convergence of interests' approach (Sherif) and a ‚categorisation' approach (Tajfel) in the area of the experimental study of intergroup relations. Some recent experimental findings are mentioned, and a theoretical development of the categorisation approach is proposed. In the third part a new experiment illustrating the relevance of the categorisation approach is de…
Socio‐cognitive conflict and structure of individual and collective performances
A previous experiment (Doise, Mugny and Perret‐Clermont, 1975) has shown that pairs of subjects perform better on a spatial representation task than subjects alone. As a conclusion the hypothesis was put forward that conflicts of cognitive centrations, embedded in a social situation, lead children to coordinate their centrations. The present research was planned to verify several predictions following from this general hypothesis. Results show th…
Social interaction and the development of cognitive operations
This paper presents two experiments to support the general hypothesis that the coordination of actions between individuals promotes the acquisition of cognitive coordinations. The first experiment shows that two children, working together, can successfully perform a task involving spatial coordinations; children of the same age, working alone, are not capable of performing the task. The second experiment shows that subjects who did not possess ce…

Levels of explanation in the European Journal of Social Psychology
The nature of explanation in experimental social psychology is the subject of much controversy. To advance the debate, the present article provides a grid of analysis allowing a more [thorough study of experimental social psychologists] work. Four levels of explanation are distinguished as works can be seen as studying intra‐individual processes (level 1), interindividual but intra‐situational dynamics (level 2), effects of social position in a s…

An apparent exception to the extremization of collective judgments
A reanalysis of data obtained by Kogan and Wallach, 1966 is presented. Wherever the original analysis showed the extremity of unanimous group judgments in general not to be different from the average extremity of individual judgments, the present analysis indicates that these group judgments differ from the average of individual judgments: they are significantly more extreme than the average positions of the individuals
