Résumé

The central core of a social representation can be determined using two different techniques: the calling into question technique (CIQ) and the model of basic cognitive schemes (BCS). Both techniques have disadvantages: The CIQ uses double negation, and the BCS involves lengthy responses. A new technique was therefore developed: the test of context independence (TCI). The TCI aims to specify the trans-situational or contingent character of representational elements while reducing perceived cognitive load. Two objects of representation were employed. Results revealed that participants perceived the TCI as being easier than the CIQ. In addition, the same components were found to form the central core, independent of whether the TCI or the CIQ was used. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
