SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS - MISUNDERSTANDINGS, OMISSIONS AND DIFFERENT PREMISES - A REPLY

Wolfgang Wagner (1994) has submitted a logically ordered and well phra sed chain of arguments. But his paper contains, at least in concern of our research which he uses for illustration (Thommen et al., 1988, 19 92), a number of misinterpretations. Furthermore, and what is more imp ortant, it ignores relevant scientific developments and tries to monop olize the field of social representations for one single, namely Wagne r's own, viewpoint and level of analysis.(1) For these reasons, I can not accept some of his statements.
