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.

Theory Of Social Representations

Abstract Background The symbolic universe of cancer is associated with death, but its treatment has undergone innumerable innovations, which may lead to a new meaning for social representations. The theory of social representations seeks the new, which changes in the knowledge of common sense (Guareschi & Jovchelovitch, 1994). Thus, the objective of this work is to identify the social representations of cancer and breast cancer, identifying their changes and their meanings based on the central nucleus and the peripheral system. Methods Qualitative and descriptive study, based on the structural approach of the theory of social representations. The sample was non-probabilistic and due to accessibility. The collection instrument was a Word Evocation Test with two inducing words, ‘cancer’ and ‘breast cancer’. The subjects were asked to mention three words that came to their mind immediately and spontaneously. The SPSS and IRAMUTEQ software were used. Results 753 subjects participated and 2316 words were evoked for each inducing word. In the central core of cancer the words pain, illness, death, suffering. Central core of breast cancer: treatment, pain, feeling, woman, strength. Conclusions The social representation of cancer is still strongly death, while in breast cancer it is the treatment. Suffering and pain are part of the central core of the two words and continue to characterize the disease, but in breast cancer the word strength appears. It is concluded that the social representation of breast cancer is being reframed.

Theory Of Social Representations

O presente estudo faz um levantamento das representações sociais de ex-alunos sobre formação de professores e a inserção da pesquisa na formação inicial e na prática docente. Com o objetivo de compreender qual representação de pesquisa emerge de ex-alunos de um Curso de Pedagogia, fez-se uso da técnica do grupo focal e a análise apoiou-se no aporte da teoria das representações sociais e da política de formação de professores no Brasil. Os resultados obtidos apontam contradições na implementação da proposta de “Pesquisa da Prática Pedagógica” (PPP), eixo fundamental do currículo do Curso investigado, ressaltando aspectos voltados ao conhecimento adquirido, ao compromisso e desafios da proposta. Na representação dos ex-alunos, a pesquisa para os professores vai desde uma concepção “simplista” (fragmentada) a uma diversidade de fundamentos epistemológicos, as quais se repetem na apresentada pelos participantes do grupo focal. A pesquisa assume, portanto, relevância tanto na formação inicial para a docência quanto na formação continuada do professor formador. ABSTRACT RESEARCH OF THE PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE AND THE POLICY OF FORMATION FOR TEACHERS: KNOWLEDGE, CHALLENGE, COMMITMENT IN THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATION OF EX-STUDENTS OF PEDAGOGY The purpose of this study is to draw a map of the social representations that ex-students of Pedagogy have about the formation of teachers and the inclusion of the research in the initial formation and the teaching practice. The aim is to understand what representation of research comes out from ex-students of a Pedagogy course. It was used the focal group technique to obtain data and the analysis of the information obtained was based on the theory of social representations as well as the Brazilian policy of formation for teachers. The results obtained revealed contradictions in the implementation of the proposal of the “Research of the Pedagogical Practice” – Pesquisa da Prática Pedagógica (PPP) – fundamental axis in the curriculum of the course investigated, regarding aspects such as knowledge, the commitment and challenges of the proposal. In the representation of ex-students, the research for teachers range from naïve (fragmented) to a wide diversity of epistemological principles that are frequently presented by the participants of the focal group. The research assumes, therefore, an important role not only in the initial formation for teaching but also in the continuous formation of formation professors. Key-words: Policy of education; Formation of teachers; Social Representations; Research; Pedagogical Practice.

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.

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.

Students Attitudes

This research uses the counter-attitudinal essay paradigm ( Janis & King, 1954 ) to test the effects of social actions on social representations. Thus, students wrote either a pro- or a counter-attitudinal essay on Higher Education. Three forms of counter-attitudinal essays were manipulated countering respectively a) students’ attitudes towards higher education; b) peripheral beliefs or c) central beliefs associated with this representation object. After writing the essay, students expressed their attitudes towards higher education and evaluated different beliefs associated with it. The structural status of these beliefs was also assessed by a “calling into question” test ( Flament, 1994a ). Results show that behavior challenging either an attitude or peripheral beliefs induces a rationalization process, giving rise to minor modifications of the representational field. These modifications are only on the social evaluative dimension of the social representation. On the other hand, when the behavior challenges central beliefs, the same rationalization process induces a cognitive restructuring of the representational field, i.e., a structural change in the representation. These results and their implications for the experimental study of representational dynamics are discussed with regard to the two-dimensional model of social representations ( Moliner, 1994 ) and rationalization theory ( Beauvois & Joule, 1996 ).

This paper is concerned by a possible articulation between the diversity of individual opinions and the existence of consensus in social representations. It postulates the existence of consensual normative boundaries framing the individual opinions. A study by questionnaire about the social representations of the development of intelligence gives support to this notion.

Abstract. This contribution consists of a critical review of the literature about the articulation of two traditionally separated theoretical fields: social representations and commitment. Besides consulting various works and communications, a bibliographic search was carried out (between February and December, 2016) on various databases using the keywords “commitment” and “social representation,” in the singular and in the plural, in French and in English. Articles published in English or in French, that explicitly made reference to both terms, were included. The relations between commitment and social representations are approached according to two approaches or complementary lines. The first line follows the role of commitment in the representational dynamics: how can commitment transform the representations? This articulation gathers most of the work on the topic. The second line envisages the social representations as determinants of commitment procedures: how can these representations influence the effects of commitment procedures? This literature review will identify unexploited tracks, as well as research perspectives for both areas of research.

Our study sought to refine our understanding of professional distress by examining the experience of healthcare social workers in the following three Canadian provinces: Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick. Thirty semi-directed interviews were conducted to explore the social workers’ social representation of professional distress and its ties to professional identity and growing organizational constraints. Attitudes, work–life imbalances, and negative workplace experiences were found to increase the subjective experience of distress. Current psychosocial and organizational contexts of front-line practitioners are contributors to their professional distress, a matter further exacerbated by the misrepresentation of social work by colleagues and service beneficiaries.

Objective: To analyze the social representation of adolescents about gynecological consultation and the influence of those in searching for consultations. Method: Qualitative descriptive study based on the Social Representations Theory, conducted with 50 adolescents in their last year of middle school. The data was collected between April and May of 2010 by Evocations and a Focal Group. The software EVOC and contextual analysis were used in the data treatment. Results: The elements fear and constraint, constant in the central nucleus, can justify the low frequency of adolescents in consultations. The term embarrassment in the peripheral system reinforce current sociocultural norms, while prevention, associated with learning about sex and clarifying doubts, allows to envision an educative function. Obtained testimonies in the focal groups exemplify and reinforce those findings. Conclusion: For an effective health education, professionals, including nurses, need to clarify the youth individually and collectively about their rights to privacy, secrecy, in addition to focus the gynecological consultation as a promotion measure to sexual and reproductive health.
