A Follow up on the Continuum Theory of Eco-Anxiety
The mental health impact of the environmental crisis, particularly eco-anxiety, is a growing research topic whose measurement still lacks consensus. This study aims to use item response theory (IRT) to gain a deeper understanding of the constructs measured by existing questionnaires. To conduct this review, we applied the graded response model with the help of the MIRT package in R on open-access data from the short French version of the Climate …

When a refusal turns into donation
This research aimed to test the moderating effect of people's initial position to blood donation on the actual acceptance to donate blood in a door-in-the-face situation. This position (attitude, self-importance, normative beliefs) was measured one month prior to the request (Study 1, N = 99) or immediately before (Study 2, N = 80). The results revealed that the door-in-the-face effect is moderated by the importance of blood donation to the self,…
La psychologie sociale
Cet ouvrage présente plusieurs champs de recherche issus de la psychologie sociale actuelle, choisis pour les applications existantes ou pour leur potentiel d'application : leur applicabilité. Onze chapitres composent le présent ouvrage. Après un chapitre de réflexion épistémologique, seront examinés des domaines comme le comportement de l'individu au sein d'un groupe ; la prédiction de ce que sont susceptibles de faire les gens à partir de ce qu…
Cognitive processing of causal explanations
This article is aimed at providing further supporting evidence for the assumption that the cognitive processing of certain kinds of information is socially driven, even at very low levels of processing. More specifically, we hypothesize that knowledge associated with a social norm like the norm of internality (Jellison & Green, 1981; Beauvois & Dubois, 1988) may be more accessible in memory than knowledge associated with a non-normative register,…
Normative clearsightedness
The goal of this research was to develop the work of Py and Somat (1991) concerning normative clearsightedness. Although they were interested in the norm of internality, they defined normative clearsightedness as ‘the knowledge of the normative or counter-normative aspect of certain types of behaviour or certain types of judgements’. However, even though they placed the concept ‘normative clearsightedness’ within a broad normative perspective tha…
