Perceived fairness of exam accommodations for students with special educational needs
Implementing an inclusive school means that teachers should use exam accommodations to foster the participation of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). However, due to the emphasis on merit in most school systems, this practice can create a dilemma between equality and equity that can notably influence teachers’ perceived fairness of such accommodations. Three studies conducted in the French context with teachers, students and members o…
Reactions to Gender Norm Violations: Individual- and Peer-Level Analyses of Gender Atypicality and Social Exclusion in Adolescence
Adolescence is a period marked by the importance of peer-groups and conformity, and thus, deviation from social norms can be particularly sanctioned. In particular, gender norm violations in adolescence have been shown to be linked to several negative outcomes. One possible outcome is social exclusion of gender norm violating adolescents. In the present study, we directly investigated social exclusion, in adolescence, due to gender norm violation…
Parents’ Reactions to Adolescents’ Gender Norm Violations as Motivated Gendered Parenting
SYNOPSISObjective. Gendered parenting refers to practices that reinforce gender norms. In the current studies, we were interested in parents’ reactions to their adolescent children’s gender norm violations as a form of gendered parenting. Drawing on theoretical predictions from research on reactions to gender norm violations and gendered parenting, we investigated the dimensions on which parents would express negative reactions to violations of g…
When accommodations are not enough: A multi-study examination of teacher bias toward students with special educational needs across student gender
International audience
Special Education and Meritocratic Inclusion
In this theoretical article we present our hypothesis on the incompatibility of the inclusive education policy toward students with special educational needs with the meritocratic principle of education. If considering and recognizing the needs of these students is necessary to achieve a successful inclusive environment, we propose that this goal cannot be achieved within current educational systems driven by a meritocratic ideology. We base our …
The Double-Edged Sword of Role Models: A Systematic Narrative Review of the Unintended Effects of Role Model Interventions on Support for the Status Quo
Role model interventions are often designed to foster students’ pursuit of careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We hypothesize that role model interventions might also unintentionally shape students’ beliefs concerning the broader social system—their ideologies—leading them to view the (inequitable) status quo in STEM as natural and acceptable. A systematic narrative review (35 articles, 42 studies) indicated that …
The Political Glass Cliff: When Ethnic, Racial and Immigration Minority Participants Choose Minority Candidates for Hard‐To‐Win Seats
Atypical political candidates, such as those from ethnic, racial and immigration (ERI) minorities (vs. majority), are more likely to be chosen for hard-to-win seats than easy-to-win seats, a phenomenon known as the political glass cliff. This research aimed to uncover how the ERI status of decision makers played a role in this process. We hypothesised the emergence of a glass cliff pattern, that is, the preference for an ERI minority candidate ov…
How are gender counter-stereotypical adolescents evaluated by their peers? Investigating the backlash effect in French schools
Research on the backlash effect has long studied the social sanctions that individuals impose on those who do not conform to stereotypical expectations. Specifically, research has focused on reactions to gender stereotype violations. Studies have shown that adults, adolescents, and even children will sanction others when they fail to conform to gender stereotypes. The present pre-registered research ( https://tinyurl.com/4epypv3a ) studied this g…
Can students with special educational needs overcome the “success” expectations
Self-enhancement values and academic achievement: An interaction with students' parental level of education and gender
BackgroundWe investigated the link between the endorsement of self-enhancement values (e.g., ambition, influence, authority and social power) and school achievement (i.e., grades).AimAdopting an intersectional framework, we argued that the link may be qualified by both students' gender and their parents' education level. We hypothesized that depending on students' different experiences in the school system as a function of their gender and their …
Facing the dropout crisis among PhD candidates: The Role of Supervisor Support in Emotional Well-Being and Intended Doctoral Persistence Among Men and Women
The number of PhD candidates who experience psychological problems has risen significantly over the past few years. Poor mental health can have numerous negative consequences for PhD candidates and their supervisors, as it may adversely affect their quality of life, attrition, and academic productivity. Despite these well-documented challenges, few studies have looked at how the supervisor – supervisee relationship can influence the emotional wel…
Political Ideology Modifies the Effect of Glass Cliff Candidacies on Election Outcomes for Women in American State Legislative Races (2011–2016)
Research on glass cliff political candidacies shows that compared to men, women are more likely to run for office in districts where they are likely to lose. We examined if party differences in whether female candidates face these worse conditions in the United States could account for persistent and growing party and state variation in women's representation. Using election data from 2011 to 2016, we compared Republican versus Democratic candida…
Examining the role of perceived prestige in the link between students’ subjective socioeconomic status and sense of belonging
Low socioeconomic status (SES) students have a lower sense of belonging to college than high-SES students. Due to the importance of sense of belonging in the college pathway, understanding the reason for this relation is particularly important. Here, we argue that in addition to having less access to resources, low-SES students in the college context also perceive themselves as having lower prestige than their high-SES counterparts. Thus, in the …
The Experience of Low‐SES Students in Higher Education: Psychological Barriers to Success and Interventions to Reduce Social‐Class Inequality
The economic decline of the Great Recession has increased the need for a university degree, which can enhance individuals’ prospects of obtaining employment in a competitive, globalized market. Research in the social sciences has consistently demonstrated that students with low socioeconomic status (SES) have fewer opportunities to succeed in university contexts compared to students with high SES. The present article reviews the psychological bar…
