This contribution consists of a critical review of the literature about the articulation of two traditionally separated theoretical fields: social representations and commitment. Besides consulting various works and communications, a bibliographic search was carried out (between February and December, 2016) on various databases using the keywords “commitment” and “social representation,” in the singular and in the plural, in French and in English. Articles published in English or in French, that explicitly made reference to both terms, were included. The relations between commitment and social representations are approached according to two approaches or complementary lines. The first line follows the role of commitment in the representational dynamics: how can commitment transform the representations? This articulation gathers most of the work on the topic. The second line envisages the social representations as determinants of commitment procedures: how can these representations influence the effects of commitment procedures? This literature review will identify unexploited tracks, as well as research perspectives for both areas of research.

社会代表与承诺

这项贡献包括对有关两个传统上分离的理论领域（社会代表和承诺）的表达的文献进行的批判性回顾。除了查阅各种作品和通讯外，还使用关键词“承诺”和“社会代表”对法语和英语的单数和复数进行了书目检索（2016年2月至2016年12月）。包括以英文或法文发表的文章，其中明确提到了这两个术语。承诺和社会代表之间的关系是根据两种方法或互补线来处理的。第一行遵循承诺在表征动态中的作用：承诺如何改变表示形式？这种表述收集了有关该主题的大部分工作。第二行将社会表征设想为承诺程序的决定因素：这些表征如何影响承诺程序的效果？这篇文献综述将确定未开发的研究方向以及这两个研究领域的研究观点。
