Health, community and development: towards a social psychology of participation

Abstract: The concept of ‘community participation’ plays a central role in policies and interventions seeking to reduce health inequalities. This paper seeks to contribute to debates about the role of participation in health by suggesting how social psychological concepts can add to the theorisation of participation.

“…The first of these is the development of theoretical underpinnings for the design and evaluation of peer education programs. We have sought to do this in the light of our more general interest in contributing to the development of a "social psychology of participation" (Campbell & Jovchelovitch, 2000), with particular emphasis on the relevance of the work of Paulo Freire (1993aFreire ( , 1993b to this enterprise. Secondly we hope to have contributed to understandings of the way in which community and social contexts may impact on the best-intentioned attempts to promote sexual behaviour change amongst young people.…”

“…In theory, participatory approaches seek to provide the context within which target audiences will generate their own indigenous critical analyses of the causes of the health threat at hand, and will reach their own self-generated solutions on the basis of such critical analyses. Peer education is supposed to be strictly non-directive, aiming to promote the empowerment of target audiences through providing them with contexts in which they can generate their own solutions to the health risk at hand, rather than through prescribing what the content of such discussions should be (Campbell & Jovchelovitch, 2000).…”

“…While social representations theory is still far away from the critical move within social psychology as a whole, there is growing recognition that the theory can and should develop a serious engagement with critical issuesideology, oppression, resistance, participation and social change (Campbell and Jovchelovitch, 2000;Duveen, 2000;Howarth, Foster and Dorrer, 2004;Imtiaz, 2002;Joffe, 1999;Jovchelovitch, 1996;Oktar, 2001;Scarbrough, 1990). The social basis and critical tool within the theory is its emphasis on re-presentation.…”
