RATEAU, Patrick  and  LO MONACO, Grégory. The Theory of Social Representations: Conceptual approaches, fields of application and methods. CES Psicol [online]. 2013, vol.6, n.1, pp.1-21. ISSN 2011-3080.

Since its early formulation, Social Representations Theory (SRT, Moscovici, 1961) presented a remarkable development in the world. And today, it is an essential and ineluctable theory in the field of social psychology. However, due to the various directions that have been developed within this theory, its diffusion and success have widely exceeded the borders of this discipline. This article aims to draw the outlines of the SRT by proposing an overview of the arisen approaches, its contributions, and finally, the methodologies the theory has implemented and promoted.

Keywords : Social Representations Theory; Social Psychology; Methodologies.
