Validation d'une échelle de mesure de la situnomie-autonomie

Dans le prolongement des travaux de Deslandes, Potvin et Leclerc (1997) et de Auzoult (2008), nous présentons les qualités psychométriques d’un outil mesurant l’autonomie en contexte scolaire. Nous présentons également les relations entre l’autonomie et d’autres construits rendant compte des trajectoires scolaires. Les résultats révèlent une relation positive entre la maturité de carrière, la réussite scolaire et l’autonomie. On observe également une relation négative entre l’autonomie et les risques de décrochage scolaire. Enfin, on observe une relation entre l’autonomie et le degré d’affiliation des adolescents dans leurs contextes de vie, ce qui ouvre des perspectives explicatives sur l’élaboration de l’autonomie.The aim of this study we are presenting is to describe a situnomy/autonomy scale in line with designs proposed by Deslandes, Potvin and Leclerc (1997) and Auzoult (2008). Results reveal good metrological and psychometric properties. It shows relations between autonomy and school evaluations as well as with career maturity. We also found a negative relation between autonomy and school withdrawal risk. Finally, we observed a relation between autonomy and the connection of teenagers with their contexts of life (i.e. school, family and peers). It opens explicative perspectives on the elaboration of autonomy for teenagers

Représentation de l’autonomie dans le champ de l’orientation scolaire et professionnelle

L’étude vise à mettre en évidence que l'autonomie est un objet de représentations sociales pour les acteurs de l’orientation. Des conseillers d’orientation psychologues, des conseillers en insertion et des conseillers en bilan de compétences expriment leurs points de vue, puis celui des professionnels de l’orientation et des usagers. Leurs discours font ressortir l’importance qu’ils accordent de manière consensuelle à la prise de conscience comme moyen de rendre compte de l’autonomie en orientation. Les représentations propres à chaque acteur rendent compte de conceptions distinctes et s’ancrent de manière secondaire dans une approche individualiste de la personne.The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that autonomy is an object of social representations for professional vocational counsellors. We first asked three different groups of counsellors to express their own views on autonomy and then asked them to express the opinion they respectively attribute to others professionals and users. Their discourse emphasise the importance they consensually give to awareness as a means of accounting for autonomy in vocational counselling. Representations specific to each type of interviewee found the different conceptions of autonomy and, secondarily, are rooted in an individualistic approach of the person

The world may not be just but you'd better not say it: On the social value of expressing personal belief in a just world

The expression of personal belief in a just world (PBJW) has been discussed as a criterion of excellence in social judgments. In four experimental studies we hypothesized and found that targets who express high versus low PBJW are judged as more: 1) deserving of success and 2) suited to socio?organizational expectations. The four studies show that suitability to socio?organizational expectations mediates the relation between PBJW expressed and success deservingness, even after controlling for judgments of likability, status, rationality, optimism and targets as victims. Studies 2 and 3 show this pattern occurs regardless of target performance appraisal. Study 4 indicates that expressing low PBJW decreases the social value of individuals, but expressing high PBJW does not increase it. We discuss the impact of PBJW expression on people's lives, namely on upper social mobility of members of low?status groups, and the influence of the negativity bias on judgments caused by PBJW expression

Can self-consciousness and team reflexivity guard against the consequences of objectification?

Objectification in the workplace refers to relationships in which employees can be reduced to the status of objects. This phenomenon has deleterious consequences for health. In this study we examine the protective role of reflexivity, i.e. self-consciousness and team reflexivity. 98 employees answered an online questionnaire which measured objectification, self-consciousness, team reflexivity, mentalization and instrumentality/humanness. The results highlighted a moderation effect of private self-consciousness in the relations between objectification and its consequences. An elevation of self-consciousness is associated with a decrease in dementalization and is associated with an increase in instrumentality. Team reflexivity promotes a decrease in instrumentality and an elevation in humanness either directly or indirectly via the diminution of objectification. The two forms of reflexivity are therefore complementary when facing objectification in the workplace and its consequences. The question of the articulation of the self and co-regulation processes is discussed in connection with these results

Is the congruence between behavioural intention, attitude, norm and behavioral control normative ?

Article disponible en ligne à l'adresse : http://www.studiapsychologica.com/uploads/AUZOULT_SP_4_vol.57_2015_pp.315-325.pdfInternational audienceThe Theory of Planned Behavior has been criticized for the fact that it reflects an instinctive and na?ve psychology leading to a bias of congruence between intention and its determinants. We proceed from this hypothesis to evaluate the normativity of this type of judgment. 72 subjects had to evaluate the normativity of judgments congruent or not between intention, attitude, the subjective norm and behavioral control. The results revealed that congruent judgments were judged to be more normative when attitude and the subjective norm were involved. It is also the expression of a strong intention, which is perceived as normative when the item in the questionnaire refers to behavioral control. Normativity of congruence may explain why it is possible to observe a consistency between responses to this type of questionnaire. Our study suggests, furthermore, that this bias is the product of social influences particular to the context of the study

Ethical Climate as Social Norm: Impact on Judgements and Behavioral Intentions in the Workplace

We present a study that looks at the relationship between the ethical climate, considered as a set of social norms, and judgments and behaviors in the workplace. In this case we think that an ethical rule reflecting the climate is only actualized in conduct and/or decisions if the rule is applicable, is shared, and is the subject of social expectations. A total of 277 professionals responded to a questionnaire measuring the normativity of three ethical rules, socio-moral judgment, trust in supervisors, turnover intention, and discrimination as well as abusive supervision. The results confirm our hypothesis. This leads to a different view of how the ethical climate is measured and constructed in the workplace

The role of organizational culture and self-consciousness in self-objectification in the workplace

Article en libre accès : http://www.tpmap.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Vol-23-n.3-articolo-1.pdfInternational audienceIn this study, we examine the process of self-objectification in the workplace. In a previous study on this subject, it was highlighted that the perception of being objectified induces self-objectification via the mediation of burnout in the workplace. We introduce the hypothesis that organizational culture could also explain self-objectification. Likewise, the shift from the perception of being objectified to self-objectification may be moderated by the level of self-consciousness. Employees (N = 363) from various economic sectors replied to a questionnaire measuring organizational culture, the perception of being objectified, self-objectification, burnout, and self-consciousness. The results did not support the mediation of the levels of burnout, but highlighted that culture is associated with self-objectification. The moderation effect of private self-consciousness on the relationship between the perception of being objectified and self-objectification was also observed

The mediating role of the sense of relatedness and task cohesion in the relation between psychological power distance and efficiency of a working team

International audienceUnderstanding of the effectiveness of work-teams is a major issue in the business world, where they are expected to facilitate developing individual skills and increasing organizations’ efficiency. Eighty-three engineers working in teams have responded to a questionnaire devised to measure perceptual power distances, the sense of relatedness, cohesion measured by integration around the task, and teams’ effectiveness. Results reveal that “task cohesion” and sense of relatedness mediate the relationship between power distance and perceived effectiveness. These results are related with those observed in the context of the self-determination theory and presented in order to highlight their practical implications
