A study by questionnaire about the social representations of the development of intelligence gives support to this notion.

Theory Of Social Representations

Conhecer o que vem sendo descrito sobre a Teoria das Representações Sociais e sua inter-relação entre sujeito e objeto foi objetivo desta pesquisa de Revisão Integrativa.  As buscas foram realizadas no mês de julho de 2019. O operador booleano and foi utilizado entre os termos saúde, sustentabilidade e teoria das Representações Sociais, Nos Idiomas Português E Inglês, Sendo Consultadas As Bases Lilacs, Medline/PubMed e PAHO e Google acadêmico. Os filtros foram: ser publicado nos últimos cinco anos, ter como frase exata/citação “Serge Moscovici” e ser artigo científico original. A análise dos dados decorreu do método Análise de conteúdo, resultando em três categorias: “Teoria das Representações Sociais”, que trouxe possibilidades de interpretar conhecimentos, relacionamentos e experiências atreladas ao individual e ao coletivo. A segunda categoria “Teoria das Representações Sociais e os universos: Consensual e Reificado” retrata os entrelaces e afastamentos do olhar empírico e do científico. A última categoria “Teoria das Representações Sociais e os processos: Ancoragem e Objetivação” demonstra como são organizados os pensamentos que vão formar as representações sociais, sendo considerados mecanismos que alicerçam a Teoria. Conclui-se que a Teoria das Representações Sociais não apresenta limites de utilização por temática, ela é abrangente e pode revelar grandes achados e mostrar formas de interpretar coisas iguais com olhares e descrições diferentes. No campo da saúde e da sustentabilidade esta teoria é uma ferramenta para interpretar concepções, atitudes e comportamentos de indivíduos e de grupos.   Palavras-chave: Saúde. Sustentabilidade. Teoria das Representações Sociais.     Abstract The aim of this research of Integrated Review was to know what has been described about the Theories of Social Representations and its inter-relation between subject and object. The researches were conducted during July 2019. The Boolean operator and was used among the terms health, sustainability and theory of social representations, in the English and Portuguese languages, being consulted in the Lilacs, Medline/PubMed and PAHO and Academic Google databases. The filters were: had been published in the last five years, having as exact/citation sentence “Serge Moscovici” and being an original scientific paper. The analysis of data was originated from the method Analysis of content, resulting in three categories: “The Theories of Social representation” which brought possibilities of interpreting knowledge, relationships and experiences related to the individual and the collectivity. The second category: “Theory of Social Representations and the universes: Consensual and Reified” which describes the interlaces and distances of empiric and scientific view. The last category: “Theory of Social Representations and the processes: Anchorage and Objectivation” which demonstrates how thoughts are organized which are responsible for making the social representations, being considered the base mechanisms of the Theory. It is concluded that the Theory of Social Representations do not present limits of utilization by themes, it is vast and can reveal big results and show ways of interpreting equal things with views and different descriptions. In the field of health and sustainability, this theory is a tool to interpret conceptions, attitudes and behaviors of individuals and groups.   Keywords: Health. Sustainability.

The current article shows the development of a research process whose main objective was to explain the influence of the social representations of the inhabitants of Bogotá, Colombia in the implementation of the public policy of conditional cash transfers “Más Familias en Acción.” For this aim, a qualitative study of hermeneutic design was conducted with beneficiaries of the program and non-beneficiaries, in which, through the application of semi-structured interviews, the most frequent social representations about subsidies, policies, work, education, health, among other relevant issues related to this public policy were identified and once the information was coded by using the Atlas.ti software, interpretation of results was done making possible to establish a relationship between the social representations found and the implementation of “Más Familias en Acción,” leading to the understanding of how social representations as sets of ideas, values and practices that become a social code that denominates the individual and collective reality, have influence both in the way in which the beneficiaries of the program conceive their social reality, and in the sense they give to the program, as well as in their articulation and interaction with it, enabling its implementation, which may or may not occur according to the objectives of public policy.

Abstract Objective: To describe the contents and structure of the social representation of cancer. Method: A qualitative study based on the Theory of Social Representations, carried out in a High Complexity Care Unit in Oncology. Data collection included a socio-occupational and clinical characterization questionnaire and free evocations form from 100 cancer patients in chemotherapy treatment and in-depth interviews with 29 of them. The analysis was performed using EVOC software. Results: One hundred (100) patients participated in the study. The social representation of cancer has the words normal, difficult disease, death and fear in its central nucleus. The apparent ambivalence between the continuity of life and its finitude as structuring meanings of this representation enables establishing an inferential hypothesis that relates normal disease to the possibility of treatment, control and cure of cancer, while the fear of death remains in the representational field linked to the disease, which has a difficult treatment to cope with. Conclusion: The social representations of cancer based on the presented interrelationships provide reflections which may contribute to increasing the individual and social care of patients with malignant neoplasm and their family in health services.

Content Information

The aim of the research here presented is to describe and compare the social representations of entomophagy co-constructed and circulating among different groups of consumers. Social representations theory (SRT) allows us to understand a social reality that the individual builds based on his own experience in everyday life symbolic exchanges, whose primary function is to adapt concepts and abstract ideas using objectification and anchoring processes. We carried out this research within the structural approach methodological framework. We explored the structure (central core and peripheral schemes) and the content (information, opinions, attitudes, and beliefs) of the social representations of entomophagy by using mixed methodological strategies (hierarchized evocations, validated scales, check-list, projective tool, open-ended questions). Data were processed employing different R packages. The main results show an essential role played by generative processes (objectification and anchoring) as well as cognitive polyphasia and thémata in the co-construction of the social representations of entomophagy. Data could help in understanding the sensory characteristics of “insects as food” that should be used or avoided, for example, in communication aimed to promote entomophagy.

Transfer Of Information

Varios enfoques teórico-metodológicos en la ciencia social nos permiten identificar las diferentes formas en que los individuos construyen su conocimiento, así como evidenciar las condicionantes para el tránsito de la información de lo individual a lo social y viceversa. Se asume como un proceso holístico de conocimientos adquiridos y transmitidos, que puede incluso transformar comportamientos. Dos enfoques a los que nos referimos son las Representaciones Sociales (RS) y las Creencias Epistemológicas (CE). Consideramos que las RS y las CE son aproximaciones distintas, pero estrechamente vinculadas entre sí al compartir puntos de encuentro, aunque sus conceptualizaciones no lo reflejen. En este artículo se evidencian las convergencias y divergencias de ambas nociones, desde sus enfoques teóricos hasta las aproximaciones metodológicas de los diversos estudios emprendidos con base en cada una de ellas. Several theoretical-methodological approaches in the social sciences facilitate the identification of the different ways in which individuals construct knowledge. These approaches also highlight the conditions necessary for the transfer of information from the individual to the social and vice versa. They are considered to form an acquired and transmitted holistic process of knowledge, which can even transform behavior. Two of these approaches are Social Representations and Epistemological Beliefs. Although considered to be distinct approaches, Social Representations and Epistemological Beliefs are closely linked through their shared convergent points even though their conceptualizations do not reflect this. The article highlights the convergences and divergences of both notions taking into consideration their specific theoretical approach up through their specific methodological approach using different studies undertaken and based on each one of them

AbstractThe article analyzes the social representations of ICTs’ appropriation for community empowerment by social movements. The study includes two recent Latin American student social movements: the Mexican #YoSoy132 and the Chilean student movement. Discourse analysis was used to examine interviews with participants in these social movements as well as other texts associated with their episodes of collective action. The discourse analysis was focused on four main dimensions of the social representations of ICTs’ appropriation: (1) the interrelationships between the technological and the socio-political and cultural dimensions; (2) the tension between a visibility-centered and an articulating-focused use of ICTs; (3) the tension between the individual and the collective dimensions; and (4) the articulation between ICTs-based collective action and offline one. The findings indicate that the online/offline and the visibility/articulation tensions are relevant dimensions, in an articulated way, of the social representation of ICTs’ appropriation for collective empowerment. The results also indicate that the sociopolitical goals of the social movements are a central mediation for the process of configuration of the social representation, as it is proved by the importance of the individual/collective tension for the process.

The Relationship

The relationship between Climate Change and Water is an obvious and key issue within the Sustainable Development Goals. This study aims to investigate the social representation created around this relationship in three different territorial contexts in order to evaluate the influence of the territory on the perception of the risk of Climate Change and its relationship with water. By means of a questionnaire completed by 1709 university students, the climatic literacy of the individual was evaluated in order to relate it to other dimensions on the relationship between Climate Change and Water (information, training previous on climate change and pro-environmental attitudes) in their different dimensions in three different territorial contexts. The results show that the socio-cultural context influences the social representation of Climate Change, but not from the climatological condition, so that it is reasonable to think that the social representation of this relationship is favoured by a common culture around this relationship.

Characterize the social representations of nurses regarding the planning of nursing care for people with cancer, by determining the central nucleus and of the peripheral system. Qualitative study conducted in a specialized hospital in Salvador, Bahia, between July 2008 and March 2009. Data collection was made by free association of words, with forty-one nurses. The data were processed by the software Ensemble de Programmes Permettant L'analyse des Evocationsand analyzed according to the Theory of Social Representations. The results indicated the following central elements: humanization, care, organization, individualizing and suffering. In the peripheral system, professional and personal attitudinal elements necessary for the planning were observed: skill, knowledge on the disease, family care, respect and sensitivity. It is concluded that care planning is linked to the peculiarities of the individual with cancer, and requires that nurses have knowledge and skills necessary to prioritize actions and ensure the quality of care.

This study aimed to investigate the social representations of professionals included in the team of Family Health Strategy (physicians, nurses and dentists) respecting the action possibilities and contributions of the pharmacist for the basic care, and based on social psychology and, particularly, on the theory of social representations. The epistemological basis of the research is qualitative, and the data were collected by means of individual semi-structured interviews, which were submitted to analysis of categorical thematic content. Apparently, the majority of professionals already inserted in the team know and recognize the importance of professional pharmacists in the basic care, as well as their potential contribution to this topic. The representations were constructed according to the following parameters: a) the study object and the intervention area, b) the individual practice of every professional and c) his/her action in specific cases. The quality of the professional or personal experience concerning the action of these professionals has contributed for the knowledge about the possibilities of pharmacists' intervention in basic care.

The present study aims to identify the structure of coronavirus social representations in order to understand the stigmatization of people with Covid-19 and of healthcare personnel by populations in Abidjan. To do this, we have drawn up a sample made up of the unemployed, pupils and students and workers. There are 325 participants, including 177 men and 148 women, with an age that varies between 16 and 59 years. These people are subjected to the evocation questionnaire according to the structural approach of social representations (Abric, 1994). Analysis of the data using evoc2005 and simi2005 shows that the evocations "containment", "death" and "invention" constitute the main components (central core) of the social representations of coronavirus. These elements, which reflect a lived experience of negative feelings, will generate the construction of negative prejudices and common beliefs that encourage avoidance behaviours among participants to flee the feared situation. It takes place inward withdrawal and rejection of the other which constitutes for the individual a danger. Hence the stigmatization of people who visibly "embody" danger, death (the object of fear), namely people with Covid-19 and caregivers. The results therefore suggest that in the fight against Covid-19 the psychological aspect is also important and must be taken into account.
