Within the social representations' field of research, the "mute zone" hypothesis considers that some objects are characterized by counternormative content that people usually do not express in standard conditions of production. Within the framework of this approach, this study aims to explore the variations in the expression about the Gypsy community following the manipulation of different contexts and the issues associated with a pluri-methodological approach of data analysis. Indeed, two methodologies have been combined. The participants were asked to express themselves in public or in private. In addition, the identity of the experimenter was also manipulated as she presented herself as a Gypsy or not. Then, through a set of analyses based on a methodological triangulation approach, we were able to observe a recurrent modulation of the participants' answers. These analyses highlighted a greater incidence of the expression of counternormative elements when the context of expression was private and especially when the experimenter did not present herself as a Gypsy (p < .01, η p ² = .06). These results will be discussed in terms of the contribution of the methodologies employed and their comparison within the framework of the study of counternormative content.
在社会表征研究领域，“沉默区”假说认为，某些事物具有反规范内容的特征，人们在标准的表达条件下通常不会表达这些内容。在这种方法的框架内，本研究旨在探讨在不同情境的操纵以及与多方法数据分析方法相关的问题之后，关于吉普赛社区的表达变化。事实上，两种方法已经结合使用。参与者被要求在公开或私下场合表达自己的想法。此外，实验者的身份也被操纵，她表明自己是或不是吉普赛人。然后，通过基于方法三角测量法的一系列分析，我们能够观察到参与者回答的反复调节。这些分析突出表明，当表达情境是私下场合，特别是当实验者不表明自己是吉普赛人时，反规范元素的表达发生率更高（p <.01，η p² =.06）。这些结果将根据所采用方法的贡献以及它们在反规范内容研究框架内的比较进行讨论。
