Employabilité et formation (classique versus en alternance) : étude structurale d’une représentation sociale

Cette étude vise à définir le contenu et la structure de la représentation sociale de l'employabilité, à la lumière de la théorie du Noyau Central. Nous nous sommes plus particulièrement intéressées à l'effet de pratiques différentes liées à la formation : nous avons par conséquent comparé deux populations, l'une suivant une formation classique, l'autre suivant une formation en alternance. Nous avons repéré le contenu de la représentation sociale grâce à la méthode I.S.A. (Induction par Scénario Ambigu). Il s'avère que les deux populations ne partagent pas la même représentation de l'employabilité : si la capacité d'adaptation est un élément central pour les sujets en formation classique, la représentation de l'employabilité des sujets en formation en alternance est gérée par l'élément expérience professionnelle. En revanche, l'importance de l'existence et de l'utilisation d'un réseau de connaissances est commun à nos deux populations. Ces résultats sont discutés à la lumière de la question du lien pratiques-représentation, souligné par les théoriciens du Noyau Central.The aim of the study was to define the content and the structure of the social representation of employability, supporting by the Central Core Theory. Particularly, we focused our interest on the effects of the social conducts linked to the nature of the vocationnal training. So, we compared two populations : one following a classical vocationnal training, the other following an alternate vocationnal training. The results showed these two populations differed from the representation of employability. Adaptation appears to be central in the representation for the classical vocation­nal training subjects; whereas professional experience seems to be central for the alterrzate vocationnal training subjects. These results are discussed in ternis of the social conducts — representation links, as suggested by the Central Core theorists

Three Decades of Research on Induced Hypocrisy: A Meta-Analysis

International audienceInduced hypocrisy is a sequential, two-step, cognitive dissonance procedure that prompts individuals to adopt a proattitudinal behavior. The present meta-analysis of 29 published and nine unpublished induced-hypocrisy studies enabled us to test three key dissonance-related issues. First, is hypocrisy effective in promoting change in behavioral intention and behavior? Our analyses supported the idea that hypocrisy (vs. control) increased both behavioral intention and behavior. Second, does hypocrisy generate psychological discomfort? Results pertaining to this issue were inconclusive due to the small number of studies measuring psychological discomfort. Third, are both steps necessary to generate change? Effect sizes conform to the idea that the transgressions-only condition can increase both behavior and intention. Our meta-analysis raises a number of theoretical issues concerning the psychological processes underlying induced hypocrisy and highlights implications for practitioners

Les technologies persuasives pour favoriser les attitudes et/ou comportements pro environnementaux. Revue de la littérature des travaux en psychologie sociale et interaction homme-machine.

International audienceRESUME « Les technologies persuasives » font référence aux technologies de l'information et de la communication utilisées pour changer les attitudes et les comportements (Fogg, 2003). Notre revue de la littérature dresse un bilan des travaux menés en psychologie sociale et interaction homme machine (IHM) relatif à l'influence en contexte médiatisé. Les travaux dans le domaine étant très vastes, notre revue de la littérature porte plus précisément sur les systèmes persuasifs ayant pour objectif de changer les comportements et/ou attitudes en faveur de l'environnement. Cette revue cerne les apports, mais aussi les limites propres aux travaux de ces deux disciplines envers cette thématique. ABSTRACT "Persuasive technologies" refers to the information and communication technologies used to change attitudes and behaviors (Fogg, 2003). Our review of the literature provides a review of the work done in social psychology and human machine interaction (HMI) on the influence applied in mediated context. Given that work in the field is very extensive, our review of the literature focuses more specifically on persuasive systems that aim to change behaviors and/or attitudes towards the environment. This review identifies the contributions but also the limits specific to the work of these two disciplines towards this theme

Time domain automatic focusing of an Applebaum array

Summary form only given, as follows. It has been shown that the performance of the automatic focusing technique (AFT) is maintained when the scanned frequencies are sent simultaneously in a wide-band signal. As a result, this procedure provides the AFT with additional capabilities while removing its drawback

La Martinique en quête de mobilité

In 2015, Fort-de France the main city of Martinique made the ambitious decision to introduce a new mode of public transportation, a reserved public transport lane, or "RPTL". In a first part of our study based on the structural approach of social representation (Abric, 1994), we explored the content and the structure of the social representation of the RTPL. The second part of the study was based on the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989). The aim was to identify the sociopsychological determinants of the intention to use this new mode of transport

Rationalization in act and problematic behaviour justification

International audienceThis paper addresses the alternate aspect of the rationalization process. Requiringindividuals to provide justification for a problematic behaviour renders its cognitiverationalization easier and makes a rationalization in act less probable. The effect ofrationalization in act decreases the individual's focus in his justification
