Teacher justice plays an important role in students’ learning and social outcomes and in the development of a high-quality teacher-student relationship. The present preregistered study aimed to contribute to the growing literature on teacher justice perceptions, with a focus on its interactional component. Teacher interactional justice was examined...
People often intend to embrace a healthy lifestyle but struggle to adopt or maintain these habits. Conflict and facilitation between health goals and other life goals (horizontal interrelations) or personal values (vertical interrelations) can impact the initiation and maintenance of health behaviors. Optimal measures of such goal interrelations ar...
In moral psychology, several approaches to moral judgments coexist, with sometimes contradictory results for different types of judgments. In the current research, we combine two views of moral judgment into a novel three-input processing model. As a first empirical test of this model, the present research investigates the influence of these three...
We conducted three preregistered studies using the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data to provide a worldwide estimation of the standardized test gap between students from lower and higher social classes. We investigated: (a) the degree to which academic anxiety contribut...
Contexte. Des techniques de management adaptées assurent une organisation efficiente de l'établissement de soins. Occuper un poste managérial dans le milieu de la santé est aussi difficile qu’il est crucial. La formation M2S permet de travailler les compétences managériales à l'aide des outils dans un cadre pédagogique recourant à la simulation. Il...
Contexte : La qualité de vie et les conditions de travail (QVCT) et la prévention des risques psycho-sociaux (RPS) des professions de santé constituent une priorité, notamment pour assurer la qualité des soins. L'hôpital ne devant pas être considéré comme uniquement un plateau médico-technique, le management joue un rôle clé pour promouvoir la QVCT...
In school settings, students’ mindset about intelligence (i.e., fixed versus growth mindset) and their sense of belonging to school (SBS) have both been shown to predict academic attainment. However, these constructs have rarely been examined together although both were found to be impacted by students’ socioeconomic status (SES). Across the litera...
While moral psychology research has extensively studied decision making using moral dilemmas, such high-conflict situations may not fully represent all moral decisions. Moreover, most studies on the effect of conflict have focused on nonmoral decisions, and it is unclear how it applies to the moral realm. The present mixed-method research investiga...
Among older adults with disabilities, maintaining active aging can often be compromised. However, the literature highlights a positive link between mental health and autonomy on one hand, and self-determined motivation on the other. Therefore, self-determined motivation may be improved by promoting mental health and, in the end, older adults autono...
In morality, social distance should influence judgments and decisions. Singer et al.’s (2019) Everyday Moral Conflict Situations scale was created to assess altruistic versus egoistic choices in everyday moral contexts depending on social distance manipulated at the item level. Via a reanalysis of their data, we found an unreported interaction effe...
The relationship between heaviness of use and the approach bias (i.e., stronger approach than avoidance tendencies) toward tobacco remains ambiguous at both theoretical and empirical levels. Indeed, some models of addition would formulate opposite predictions (i.e., positive vs. negative relationship) and, as it turns out, current evidence is mixed...
Understanding which food attributes influence food decisions is a matter of public health and a lever for interventions promoting healthy diets. Research shows that food decisions are strongly influenced by taste, with health having a weaker and later influence in the food decision process. Yet, the influence of other food attributes and specifical...
Decreasing the intensity of exercise at the end of a session has been associated with greater post-exercise pleasure and enjoyment. Here, we investigated whether this manipulation can enhance affective attitudes toward physical activity (PA) and promote PA in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Seven patients (72.9 ± 5.6 years, 3 women) were in...

Background
The promotion of multiple healthy lifestyles has been implemented as part of public health efforts to prevent and reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases. However, these interventions have shown a heterogeneity in their effectiveness. The pursuit of multiple daily goals may influence overall progress in achieving health goals. Hor...
Background and Objectives
The aim was to examine the role of attentional control as a psychological factor involved in socioeconomic status-related mental health differences, and specifically in social anxiety. Based on the literature on socioeconomic status differences in cognitive abilities and attentional control theory, we hypothesized that att...
Background:
Teacher social support (TSS) has been identified as one of the most important factors of success and well-being for students. Yet, there is a gap in the literature regarding the impact of students' socioeconomic status (SES) on their perceptions of TSS, and whether SES may impact the strength of the relationship between teacher social...
L’identité de genre, qui renvoie à l’identification aux rôles de genre (féminins vs masculins) et à la valeur qu’on leur accorde (Egan & Perry, 2001), est un facteur fondamental, en pleine évolution durant l’adolescence. En plus d’être une période charnière de l’adolescence, la scolarité au collège représente une période propice pour étudier le dév...
Over the past decade, moral judgments and their underlying decision processes have more frequently been considered from a dynamic and multi-factorial perspective rather than a binary approach (e.g., dual-system processes). The agent's intent and his or her causal role in the outcome-as well as the outcome importance-are key psychological factors th...
We agree that external validity of social psychological experiments is a concern, we disagree these models are useless. Experiments, reconsidered from a situated cognition perspective and non-linearly combined with other methods (qualitative and simulations) allow grasping decision dynamics beyond bias outcomes. Dynamic (vs. discrete) insights rega...
In most Western countries, girls outperform boys in academic engagement, scholastic achievement, and school completion. In the current study, researchers assessed the developmental trajectories of European French and North African French boys’ (N = 549; Mage = 11.9 years) perceptions of girls’ and boys’ ability to succeed in school. Boys reported t...
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns negatively impacted the mental health of populations. This impact is not equally distributed and increases existing mental health inequalities. Indeed, government restrictions and the economic consequences of the pandemic affect more the less educated and less wealthy people. However, psychological pro...
Background:
A growing literature focuses on reasons behind achievement goal endorsement, and mastery-approach goals (MG) specifically, and how these reasons influence academic performance. Past research provides evidence that student-level social value-related reasons behind MG moderate the MG-performance link in adolescents and young adults. Howe...
Résumé
Alors que les connaissances scientifiques accumulées depuis plus de quarante ans permettent de savoir comment prévenir les principaux problèmes de santé publique, l’écart entre les pratiques professionnelles et les données scientifiques demeure important. Les acteurs de la prévention et de la promotion de la santé (PPS), dont les psychologue...

L’école, et plus spécifiquement la classe, est un lieu où les élèves ressentent beaucoup d’émotions en lien avec différents contextes ; la peur de rater un examen, la joie d’apprendre, l’espoir de réussir, l’ennui pendant les cours, etc. Pourtant, la recherche en psychologie de l’éducation n’a commencé à s’intéresser à celles-ci, appelées « émotion...

In the context of demographic aging, preventing autonomy loss is a major issue. Adapting care systems to help keep seniors at home is a daily challenge. “La Mutualité Française”, a national mutual insurance company, has implemented in one of its healthcare services an innovative program to strengthen well-being: “The Well-Being Autonomy Pole.” This...
Problem-solving strategies in visual reasoning tasks are often studied based on the analysis of eye movements, which yields high-quality data but is costly and difficult to implement on a large scale. We devised a new graphical user interface for matrix reasoning tasks where the analysis of computer mouse movements makes it possible to investigate...
Approach/avoidance paradigms could constitute an interesting alternative in measuring intergroup attitudes, notably if they overcome one criticism often addressed toward classic indirect tasks: measuring attitudes beyond the influence of cultural knowledge. Using intergroup stimuli and a population likely to be exposed to a similar cultural knowled...
Research has suggested mixed results regarding the relations between dimensions of ethnic-racial identity (ERI) and academic outcomes. Furthermore, little scholarship has explored the mechanisms that underlie these relations. In the current study, we investigated the longitudinal relations of 2 dimensions of ERI (embedded achievement, and ethnic af...
In France, when studying intergroup relations between ethnicities, one usually contrasts Caucasian and North African individuals. Despite the presence of a large number of face databases in the literature, none of them contains Caucasian and North African faces similar to faces we can find in a usual French environment. To overcome this problem, we...
Because approach/avoidance is a crucial response to environmental stimuli, this type of action should have left its trace on our sensorimotor system. Recent work, however, downplayed the role of sensorimotor information in producing approach/avoidance compatibility effects (i.e., faster response times to approach positive stimuli and avoid negative...
Trajectories of gender identity were examined from Grade 6 (Mage = 11.9 years) to Grade 9 in European French (n = 570) and North African French (n = 534) adolescents, and gender and ethnic group differences were assessed in these trajectories. In Grade 6, boys of both ethnic groups reported higher levels of gender typicality and felt pressure for g...
In the educational system, social inequalities are reproduced and legitimated. As a consequence, the implementation of interventions that reduce the SES achievement gap in education may face important ideological barriers. The purpose of the present paper is to test the belief in school meritocracy as one of these barriers. In three studies, partic...
Developing and sustaining students’ motivation to learn represents an essential educational challenge for teachers, parents, and policy-makers alike, because this motivation should foster learning and achievement. Although it has been assumed that the motivation to learn – or mastery (approach) goal endorsement – and to perform better than others –...
The extent to which response distortion – such as social desirability responding (SDR) – is present in self–report measures is an issue of concern and debate in personality research, as it may seriously impact such measures' psychometric indices. The present research aimed at using the social value framework to shed new light on SDR in self–report...

The economic decline of the Great Recession has increased the need for a university degree, which can enhance individuals’ prospects of obtaining employment in a competitive, globalized market. Research in the social sciences has consistently demonstrated that students with low socio-economic status (SES) have fewer opportunities to succeed in univ...
Risk perceptions concerning genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are often considered to reflect media coverage. However, it might be said that people seek out information consistent with their attitudes and avoid information which could challenge them. This process refers to the selective exposure principle derived from cognitive dissonance theor...
Adopting a situated social cognition perspective, we relied on different methodologies-1 computational and 3 empirical studies-to investigate social group-related specificities pertaining to implicit genderdomain stereotypes, as measured by a mouse-tracking adapted Implicit Association Test (IAT) and IAT(-like) tasks. We tested whether the emergenc...

We tested whether the goal to attain normative superiority over other students, referred to as performance-approach goals, is particularly distractive for high-Working Memory Capacity (WMC) students—that is, those who are used to be high achievers. Indeed, WMC is positively related to high-order cognitive performance and academic success, a record...
Recent research has shown that, in a University context, mastery goals are highly valued, and that students may endorse these goals either because they believe in their utility (i.e., social utility), in which case mastery goals are positively linked to achievement, or to create a positive image of themselves (i.e., social desirability), in which c...
Models of implicit stereotypes (e.g., association of male with math or female with language) usually explain the faster responses observed for stereotype-congruent trials in the Implicit Association Test (IAT) by requiring a fundamental opposition between the male and female concepts (or math-language), limiting the decision-making dynamics to abst...
Recent research has shown that, in a university context, mastery goals are
highly valued and that students may endorse these goals either because
they believe in their utility (i.e., social utility), in which case mastery goals
are positively linked to achievement, or to create a positive image of themselves

According to recent research, university not only has the role to educate and train students, it also has the role to select the best students. We argue that this function of selection disadvantages first-generation students, in comparison with continuing-generation students. Thus, the mere activation of the function of selection should be sufficie...
Among the antecedents of achievement goal endorsement in sports, competition
is a consistent predictor of other-approach goal endorsement (trying to perform
better than other players). However, most of this previous research was conducted in
a context implying a strong focus on normative social comparison. We argue that in
other competitive context...
Although it has been assumed that the motivation to learn – or mastery goal endorsement – positively predicts learning achievement, most empirical findings fail to demonstrate this relationship. In the present research, conducted in a Swiss high school, we adopted a social value approach to test the hypothesis that adolescent students' mastery goal...
Background
Is it possible to reach performance equality between boys and girls in a science class? Given the stereotypes targeting their groups in scientific domains, diagnostic contexts generally lower girls' performance and non-diagnostic contexts may harm boys' performance. AimThe present study tested the effectiveness of a mastery-oriented asse...
In spite of official intentions to reduce inequalities at University, students' socio-economic status (SES) is still a major determinant of academic success. The literature on the dual function of University suggests that University serves not only an educational function (i.e., to improve students' learning), but also a selection function (i.e., t...

In 2 field experiments, we relied on the very features of real testing situations—where both math and verbal tests are administered—to examine whether order of test administration can, by itself, create vs. alleviate stereotype threat (ST) effects on girls’ math performance. We predicted that taking the math test before the verbal test would be del...
In spite of many barriers facing women’s enrollment in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), some women are successful in these counter-stereotypic disciplines. The present research extended work primarily conducted in the United States by investigating implicit gender-STEM stereotypes—and their relation to performance—among fem...
Reducing comparative optimism regarding risk perceptions in traffic accidents has been proven to be particularly difficult (Delhomme, 2000). This is unfortunate because comparative optimism is assumed to impede preventive action. The present study tested whether a road safety training course could reduce drivers' comparative optimism in high contro...
