    On analyse un corpus rassemblant les contributions de participants à un forum ouvert sur un site web français, à propos du projet de référendum sur la Constitution européenne durant les six semaines qui ont précédé le scrutin du 29 mai 2005. Plusieurs méthodes relevant de l’analyse des données textuelles permettent de retracer la chronologie du débat, en relation avec les évènements politiques et médiatiques, puis d’en dégager les arguments contradictoires. Ces résultats sont mis en confrontation avec les analyses dominantes.The paper analyses a corpus made up of contributions of people having taken part in a French website chat room on the planned referendum about the European Constitution, a six-week-long chat leading to the ballot day of May 29th 2005. Several methods of textual data analysis should enable us to relate the debate chronology going back over all the political and media events. Thus contradictory arguments can eventually be drawn. Such results are to be opposed to mainstream analyses.Analizamos un corpus constituido por las contribuciones de los participantes a un foro abierto en un sitio web Francés respecto al referéndum sobre el proyecto de constitución europea durante las seis semanas antes de la votación del 29 de marzo 2005.

    Subjective Norm Rather Than Social Norm in the Induced-Hypocrisy Paradigm: A Test in the Context of School Bullying Victim Support

    The induced-hypocrisy paradigm is an effective two-step procedure - normative-salience step and then transgressions-salience step - for encouraging normative behaviors. In the context of promoting school bullying victim support among witnesses, this study tests whether the activation of a subjective norm rather than a social norm as traditionally practiced in the hypocrisy procedure can enhance the hypocrisy effect. Middle school students (N = 191) were assigned to either the control, social-norm-hypocrisy, or subjective-norm-hypocrisy conditions. Victim-defending intentions were measured immediately and one month later. The results showed a significant increase, ranging from control, then social-norm-hypocrisy, to subjective-norm-hypocrisy conditions, in students' victim-defending intentions. These results extend the scope of induced hypocrisy and contribute to progress in investigating processes underlying the hypocrisy effect

    Gender Effect and Prejudice: When a Salient Female Norm Moderates Male Negative Attitudes Toward Homosexuals

    International audienceMen generally express more negative attitudes than women toward homosexuals. This study aims to determine if social norms saliency can rely on this "gender effect" and influence attitudes toward homosexuals. Gender characteristics (attitudes and lexical markers) concerning homosexuality were identified in Study 1 and used to construct male- (i.e., promoting a prejudice-related norm) and female-marked (i.e., promoting an anti-prejudice-related norm) messages. Social norms saliency was primed using these messages (Studies 2 and 3) and the participant's immediate context (Study 3). Results show that promoting a prejudiced norm eases expression of males' negative attitudes toward homosexuals, whereas the promotion of an anti-prejudice norm inhibits their attitudes. Theoretical elaborations and potential applications for promotion of tolerance are discussed
