PREVERT, Aline; NAVARRO CARRASCAL, Oscar  e  BOGALSKA-MARTIN, Ewa. Social Discrimination from a Psychosociological Perspective. rev. psicol. univ. antioquia [online]. 2012, vol.4, n.1, pp. 7-20. ISSN 2145-4892.

European public institutions are concerned about social discrimination because it erodes social cohesion and the fabric of society. This phenomenon can be approached from two perspectives, a psychosocial perspective, which highlights the cognitive mechanisms that allows that somebody understand and relate to the world and its objects; and a macrosocial perspective that accounts for the social and ideological structures that hold these mechanisms. Two empirical studies support this research. First, a comparative analysis that examines the social representations of discrimination in France and Poland; and second, a French study that examines the claims that victims of discrimination made at three agencies that fight against discrimination, a governmental agency (HALDE), an NGO (SOS Racism), and a trade union (CGT).
