This book raises for the first time developmental issues in
relation to the theory of social representations, which Duveen and
Lloyd introduced to account for the influence of social life on
psychological processes. He describes a society's values, ideas,
beliefs and practices as social representations which function both
as rule systems structuring social life and as codes facilitating
communication. The editors' introduction identifies the need to
expand the theory of social representations to consider
developmental changes in social beliefs, in individual
understanding, and in the process of communication. Individual
chapters examine aspects of such processes in the domains of
nursery-school life, of gender, of social divisions in society, of
images of childhood, of emotion, of intelligence and of psychology.
In the final chapter Moscovici considers the contribution which
these developmental perspectives make to the theory. The book will
interest specialists and students in the human and social sciences,
including developmental and social psychology, sociology, and
communication studies.
