%0 Journal Article %T Une taxinomie des peurs collectives %A Rouquette %A Michel-Louis %J Psicologia %D 2007 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X this paper proposes a taxonomy of collective fears built of the composition of two criteria: on the one hand, perceived £¿reasons£¿ of the origin of an object of fear (human vs. non-£¿human origin, intentional or not); on the other, the types of places where fear shows itself (by purpose, by suggestion, by nature, by occasion). consequently, a typology of 4 x 4 configurations is produced. the formal distance between these configurations taken two by two can constitute a stable basis for future empiric studies. %K collective fears %K taxonomy %K social thinking. %U http://www.scielo.gpeari.mctes.pt/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0874-20492007000200002&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
