Star personalities on the winners' podium
This study explores elite athletes' dysfunctional personality tendencies (DPTs), defined as latent dispositions triggered under conditions of stress, fatigue, or when external control mechanisms are not in place. They form a risk factor for impaired functioning in high-performance sports environments. A group of athletes composed of youth elite ( N = 148), elite ( N = 217) and super elite athletes ( N = 34) were administered TD-12, a questionnair…
Broadening the audience for science engagement with machine-learning techniques
In Switzerland, the need to engage the public in science is rooted in the political system with its tools of initiatives, therefore the broadening of the audience is critically important. Using the 2021 Science and Technology Eurobarometer, we propose solutions by using machine-learning techniques which identified patterns of engagement and the interaction of sociodemographic characteristics that constitute the prediction (1) of lowest level of s…
The Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory-Revised (K-MPAI-R)
This study aimed to validate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the 40-item Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory-Revised (K-MPAI-R). The certified Italian version was used and answered by 419 student musicians (aged M = 23.18 years, SD = 5.26 years) all were university-level students of a Bachelor’s or Master of Arts degree course in Italy. The revised Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory is based on Barlow’s model of…
The Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory–Revised (K-MPAI-R)
This study aimed at validating the psychometric properties of the French version of the 40-item revised Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI-R). The certified French version was used and answered by 211 student musicians (aged 16–65 years, SD = 9.58) from different music schools and music colleges in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. The K-MPAI-R is based on Barlow’s model of anxiety and was designed to measure performance anx…
Acute Effects of the Wim Hof Breathing Method on Repeated Sprint Ability
The Wim Hof breathing method (WHBM) combines periods of hyperventilation (HV) followed by voluntary breath-holds (BH) at low lung volume. It has been increasingly adopted by coaches and their athletes to improve performance, but there was no published research on its effects. We determined the feasibility of implementing a single WHBM session before repeated sprinting performance and evaluated any acute ergogenic effects. Fifteen amateur runners …
The Influence of Training Load on Hematological Athlete Biological Passport Variables in Elite Cyclists
The hematological module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is used in elite sport for antidoping purposes. Its aim is to better target athletes for testing and to indirectly detect blood doping. The ABP allows to monitor hematological variations in athletes using selected primary blood biomarkers [hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and reticulocyte percentage (Ret%)] with an adaptive Bayesian model to set individual upper and lower limits. If v…
Animal Experimentation and Society
Scientists’ public outreach and engagement have been analyzed in many disciplines, but not in animal experimentation science, even though its relationship with society is complex. Research shows that scientists are active: they participate in public outreach and engagement activities. Scientists profile themselves mostly via the deficit model perspective, either in their attitudes or in the types of activities chosen. With regard to attitudes and…

Understanding Attitudes Toward Nuclear Energy After the Fukushima Accident
Objective The goal of this article is to understand the attitudes toward nuclear energy after the Fukushima accident. Such an analysis necessitates the avoidance of a dichotomous perspective (pro/against)—consider “supporter,” “neither‐nor,” and “opponent”—and to determine the effect of various factors on attitudes. Methods This study analyzes a 2013 Swiss survey that measures public attitudes toward nuclear energy. Results Public acceptance of n…
Statistics in Public Understanding of Science review
This article proposes a checklist to improve statistical reporting in the manuscripts submitted to Public Understanding of Science. Generally, these guidelines will allow the reviewers (and readers) to judge whether the evidence provided in the manuscript is relevant. The article ends with other suggestions for a better statistical quality of the journal
Statistics in science and in society
Statistics occupies a prominent role in science and citizens’ daily life. This article provides a state-of-the-art of the problems associated with statistics in science and in society, structured along the three paradigms defined by Bauer, Allum and Miller (2007). It explores in more detail medicine and public understanding of science on the one hand, and risks and surveys on the other. Statistics has received a good deal of attention; however, v…
Public perceptions of animal experimentation across Europe
The goal of this article is to map out public perceptions of animal experimentation in 28 European countries. Postulating cross-cultural differences, this study mixes country-level variables (from the Eurostat database) and individual-level variables (from Eurobarometer Science and Technology 2010). It is shown that experimentation on animals such as mice is generally accepted in European countries, but perceptions are divided on dogs and monkeys…
Gender Differences in Scientists’ Public Outreach and Engagement Activities
Science communication research has tended to focus on the perceptions of the public and has often neglected the views of scientists. This article analyzes public outreach and engagement attitudes and activities of women scientists; it is based on a case study conducted in Switzerland. The survey results found that attitudes toward public outreach and engagement activities are the same among men and women scientists, but that activities are done s…
Les relations entre les scientifiques et la société
Objet . — Face à la demande pressante d’engagement des scientifiques envers la société, le versant « scientifique » de la relation science-société devint un objet d’étude au croisement de la sociologie des sciences et de la sociologie de la communication scientifique. Cet article analyse comment les scientifiques se représentent leurs relations avec la société et cerne leurs pratiques ainsi que le poids des perceptions dans les pratiques. Méthode…
European Attitudes Towards Animal Research
The goal of this article is to map out attitudes towards animal experimentation in Europe (EU15 plus Switzerland), more specifically, to document the current attitudes, perform cross-national comparison of the trends of attitudes towards animal experimentation and of the explanatory factors of these attitudes. We assume that the conception of nature and science influences the perception of animal research. This study analyses a series of surveys …
Mapping Perceptions of Animal Experimentation
Objective. The goal of this article is to map out attitudes toward animal experimentation in Switzerland, more specifically, to document the current attitudes, analyze the change of attitudes over the last 10 years, and explain these attitudes. Methods. This study analyzes a series of Swiss surveys that measure public attitudes toward the environment and science (ISSP, 1994, 2000; EB, 2001, 2005). Results. It is shown that the relative majority o…
Do we need a public understanding of statistics
This paper explores arguments in favor of a public understanding of statistics and suggests its possible contributions to the analysis of surveys of attitudes toward science. Statistics permeates all aspects of life—from education, work, media, and health, to citizenship. For example, most media reporting includes statistical references to health, social and demographic trends, education, and economics. The pervasiveness of statistics poses a pro…
Gender Differences in Attitudes toward Science in Switzerland
This article addresses the debate initiated in this journal on analyses exploring the extent to which sociodemographic background and scientific knowledge explain gender differences in attitudes toward science. Using data from a nationally stratified Swiss survey on attitudes toward science, initial results suggest that, although men have more positive attitudes toward science and greater levels of scientific knowledge than women, gender differen…
