The questions comprised between 1 and 21 should be answered for the evaluation of the "project" since its preliminary version .
The questions comprised between 22 and 27 should be answered for the more advanced version of the "study" in addition to the re-examination of the whole list of the questions.

- Which suggestions can you provide?

7. Is the "theory" of. S.R. addressed as a general theoretical picture and interpretative grid, or as a specific object of verification on the part of the research explicitly defined in the aims and hypotheses?
- If yes, in which respect (comments)?
- If not, why?
- Which suggestions can you provide?
8. Is there any reference to "other constructs" (e.g. script, schemata, etc.) or "theories" (e.g. social identity, attribution, etc.) and for which "purpose" (integration or differentiation) ?
- If yes, in which respect (comments)?
- If not clearly addressed , which suggestions can you provide?
9. Which "sub-components" of the construct of S.R. are under examination as levels of dimensional analysis (opinions, stereotypical beliefs, attitudes, images, emotive expressions, symbolic and/or intentional conduct, social judgments etc.)?
- Are they clearly described and defined within the framework of S.R. theory?
- If not clearly addressed , which suggestions can you provide?

- If not addressed, which suggestions can you provide?
11. Does the project describe the "contexts of production and transmission of the S.R". which intends to investigate?
- If not addressed, which suggestions can you provide?
12. Which "procedural phases" does the project intend to investigate (acquisition, structuration, transformation, transmission of S.R.)?
- If not addressed, which suggestions can you provide?
