MASCLET, Johanne. A study of the social representation of «the Law» aMONG teenagers. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2009, vol.3, n.1, pp.29-42. ISSN 1688-4221.

We put forward the assumption that, depending on their context and social experience, sample’s social representations of Law shall contribute to distinguishing between them as well as between different levels of contents or structure. The sample of this study is composed of 338 subjects distributed as follows: 196 high school students of 3rd year, 78 high school teachers, 64 lawyers. From the methodological point of view, we chose to use the Aixoise School’s theory of central core, adapted for our research. A word association method, containing the phrase “the Law” was used in order to collect our data. Subsequently, the row/frequency method (Rods, 1972; Abric, 2003) imposed itself for the implementation. Finally, using the Jaccard index, we attempted to understand the structure of the social representations
