Forced Compliance, Double Forced Compliance and Experimental Dynamics in Social Representations
2007
The present article deals with changes in the subjects’ social representation of a topic (i.e. how they think about “studying at a school”) due to their single or double forced compliance in a counter-attitudinal direction. The single forced compliance was manipulated in two ways, first by having the subjects write an essay (Study 1), and second by having them hold a speech (Study 2). The double forced compliance consisted of having the subject write an essay plus hold a speech (Study 3). The changes in social representation were assessed at two levels, first at the level of the subjects’ responses to a questionnaire (some items of which had central and other items had peripherical meanings…
Social representations and brand positioning in the sporting goods market
2013
Abstract This paper examines the use of social representations as a strategic tool to understand better and measure how consumers arrive at their identification of brand positioning (legitimacy and differentiation) in the brand's market. By considering the market as co-produced by brands and consumers (‘B&C approach’), this study classifies free-word associations connected to the brands into units of meanings, which constitute the core of a brand's market. We applied this tool to the four main brands in the French sporting goods market (i.e., Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Puma). Results show that the differentiation of brand positioning depends on legitimate elements of the market, such as adver…
