Social representations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social Representation Theory is a body of theory within Social Psychology originally coined by Serge Moscovici. It is similar in some ways to mass consensus, and is inter-related with both Discourse Analysis and Discursive Psychology.
Social representation theory is popular among European social psychologists, especially those on the continent. Because much of Moscovici's work has been published in French, social representations theory is less known in the United States.
