Résumé

This article, in memory of Jean-Claude Abric, constitutes an opportunity to develop two main

ideas. The first one has to do with the history of social psychology and points at the absence of

reference to this author in history chapters from French-langage textbooks in the field. The

second, drawing upon writings on game situations, states that the main virtue of the

representation-capable layman, which is never questioned in social psychology, is that of

anonymity.
