Anthropology and Psychology: Towards an Epidemiology of Representations
Abstract
L'A. soutient que les phenomenes culturels sont des distributions de representations dans une population humaine, en quelque sorte des modeles ecologiques de faits psychologiques. Pour expliquer ces phenomenes culturels, il faut, en consequence, developper une epidemiologie des representations ancree dans l'individu. L'A. discute ensuite de la pertinence de cette approche pour plusieurs domaines anthropologiques: croyances populaires, croyances religieuses, contes, institutions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
