HIESa fenomeno sozial gisa: irudikapen sozialen dinamikari buruzko ikerketa bat

Abstract

Results of the dynamics of social representations about AIDS are through the Three-Phase model proposed by Doise (1993). A questionnaire with open —about the meaning of AIDS— and closed —emotions (Echebarria et al 1991), causes and risk of AIDS (Petrillo 1996)— questions was provided to 130 sujects. Firstly, shared conceptions on AIDS were analyzed by meands of the CFA. Later on individual positioning, through CFA as well as Factor Analysis. Finally the anchoring of positioning were analyzed by meands of CFA of both free associations (AIDS, Person with AIDS, Drug addict and Homosexual) and Discriminant Analysis. Results showed that the consensus on the organizing principles of AIDS allowed hetereogeneity in the individual positionings, appearing three groupings: Stereotyped, Compassionate and Conservative. Finally, interindividual positionings are characterized by the adhesion to related believe systems: discourses on homosexuality and Drug addiction on the one hand and organizing principles of perceptions of risk, causes and emotions of AIDS on the other.
