Object Distance Impact "Competition": Gender and Nationality in Social Power Representation

Summary/Abstract: The paradigm of the object distance (Abric, 2001; Dany, Abric, 2007) is a challenge also in the case of the social representation of power, a theme imposed by our Napoli colleagues (Galli, 1983, 1989, 1994, 2008; Galli, Nigro, 1986, 1992; Galli, Fasanelli, 2008). This article analyses how a double running of the object distance (nationality and gender) competes with RPS status. A research held on 120 students, from France, Italy, Romania, approached by the technique of semi-directive interview has yielded data which indicates - from the perspective of all themes covered by RSP - an upgrade of the distance to the power operated by gender, other than the one based on the subjects' nationality. The interchange of these two, permitted to identify that, in the batches concerned, the power as an object of representation tends to be feminised in a certain homogeneous manner by women - no matter their nationality - and influenced by male gender through mixture referring to men in the same condition.
