The social differences among actors are related to the expertise and to the discipline. The experiment is based on the interview of 180 subjects. The questions are about three different kinds of relation: cause, permission and prohibition.The results shows the same ability in confirmation between the different expertises and disciplines but a different ability in falsification according to the expertise and partly to the discipline.
