Aims and Scope

Papers on Social Representations represents a home for original papers related to the development of Social Representations Theory and its applications. Social Representations Theory was first proposed by Professor Serge Moscovici in 1961 and since has become a major theoretical perspective within Social Psychology. It develops a theory of social cognition, culture and communication that connects knowledge practices, identity processes, psychological processes, ideology and social change.

The central aims of PSR are to:

• build a collection of the main ideas and debates on Social Representations from 1992 onwards
• advance the quality of discussion and scholarship within Social Representations and related fields
• foster a community of scholars, researchers and students working in Social Representations
• PSR draws together researchers from around the world, from France where Moscovici first developed the theory to many countries across Europe, the Americas and Australasia.

PSR is an Open Access Journal published by:

• Institute of Social Psychology, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK (2009 - )
• Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, Austria (1992 - 2009)
