Abstract EN:
The social representation of mutual health insurance companies, constructed by its subscribers, is an evolving cognitive structure which goes through two stages, each indivative of underlying changes : - an autonomous type of representation, found in "older" subscribers who are members of traditional mutual companies, - a non-autonomous type of representation, found in "today's" subscribers of modern, geographically or professionally oriented companies. This representation is called the "transitory state". The transition from one state to the other occurs without breaks. Active solidarity schemas are gradually becoming obsolete due to the failure to activate them in current practices, as reflected by the lack of a representation in "young", real or potential mutualists.
Abstract FR:
La representation sociale des mutuelles de sante chez leurs adherents est une structure cognitive en evolution dont nous avons mis en evidence deux stades, indicateurs des changements intervenus : une representation de type autonome chez les "vieux" mutualistes appartenant a la mutualite traditionnelle, une representation de type non-autonome chez les mutualistes "actuels", adherents de mutuelles modernes, geographiques ou professionnelles, definissant l'"etat transitoire". Le passage d'un etat a l'autre s'effectue sans rupture: les schemes de solidarite active deviennent progressivement desuels, faute d'activation par les pratiques, comme en temoigne l'absence de representation chez les "jeunes" mutualistes reels ou potentiels.
