The present research aimed to examine how perceivers' system‐justifying beliefs moderate the way they evaluate high‐ versus low‐status targets on assertiveness and competence. In three experimental studies, we manipulated a target's hierarchical position within his company's organization. Participants rated the target on traits reflecting assertive...

Unemployed people constitute a stigmatized group. They are perceived as lazy hucksters who could find a job if they just really tried. The aim of the present work was to identify mechanisms underlying this negative perception of unemployment in the context of intergroup relationships. Specifically, we focused on the influence of meritocratic belief...

Des travaux sur le jugement social l’ont montré : le groupe des chômeurs est globalement jugé négativement sur les deux grandes dimensions (Fiske et al., 2002) ainsi que sur la plupart des quatre facettes de jugement (Seghouat et al., 2021). Des travaux ont également montré que certaines idéologies peuvent influencer le jugement d’employabilité des...

Pour une majorité de français, « le fait que les chômeurs ne veulent pas travailler » est une des causes principales du chômage (Unédic, 2022). Or, l’attribution du chômage à des causes internes plutôt qu’externes diminue la perception par autrui du niveau de compétence et d’employabilité du chômeur (Norlander et al., 2020). Cette responsabilisatio...

The goal of this study is to evaluate a teaching method designed in the context of the health crisis to support students’ motivation. We compared a course that uses active methods, likely to meet the needs for autonomy, competence and affiliation of students, to a course that uses a transmissive method, broadcasted by videoconference. We conducted...

Unemployment is a key issue for social psychologists. More and more studies are addressing unemployment in light of the stigmatization process (Bourguignon & Herman, 2006; Norlander et al., 2020). Indeed unemployed people are often depicted as lazy, selfish, or even parasites (Camus & Berjot, 2015). Moreover, a widespread explanation for the persis...

Si les outils numériques ont progressivement gagné en importance à l’université ces dernières années, leur utilisation est devenue indispensable à la continuité pédagogique dans le cadre de la crise sanitaire liée à la COVID-19.

Il s'agira ainsi d'explorer de nouvelles perspectives de recherche sur la perception sociale à travers la présentation d'un panel de travaux s'intéressant aux relations entre les dimensions fondamentales du jugeme...

De nombreux travaux en psychologie sociale se sont intéressés à la stigmatisation dont sont victimes les demandeurs d’emploi (Bourguignon & Herman, 2005; Danckert, 2017; Furåker & Blomsterberg, 2003). Ceux-ci sont notamment dépeints comme fainéants, assistés, égoïstes voire comme des parasites profitant de la société (Camus & Berjot, 2015). Cette v...

De nombreuses recherches en psychologie sociale s’accordent actuellement pour considérer que le jugement social repose sur deux dimensions fondamentales, appelées dans le cadre de la théorie de la valeur sociale : désirabilité et utilité sociale. L’objectif de ce travail est d’analyser dans quelle mesure deux sous-dimensions de l’utilité sociale (i...

The main purpose of the present research was to examine the moderating effect of system-justifying beliefs on the relationship between a target’s hierarchical position in an organizational context and perceived competence. Through three experiments we manipulated an employee’s hierarchical position in various ways and examined the effects on social...

Diversity training is a popular strategy to reduce prejudice within educational settings. However, in practice, diversity training rarely relies on social-psychological theory, and research on its effectiveness in real-world settings is scarce. Previous research regarding diversity training has particularly neglected an important theoretical concep...

In Study 2, middle school teachers...

Researches on the Big Two (Abele & Wojciszke, 2013) have shown that two fundamental dimensions underlie social judgment towards people: a horizontal dimension (being warm, appreciated) and a vertical dimension (being competent, successful). Usually, a compensation effect is observed between the dimensions, as a positive judgment on one dimension le...

In Western societies, statistics on the integration of people with disabilities into the labor market consistently indicate that this category of workers faces serious discrimination. Research has evidenced negative perceptions about their occupational skills, despite positive beliefs about their personal qualities. The main purpose of this study w...

L'un des objectifs principaux de l'école est de promouvoir l'égalité des chances en attribuant aux enseignants le « rôle de transmettre et de faire acquérir des connaissances ainsi que des méthodes de travail permettant aux élèves d'être sur un pied d'égalité sociale et culturelle » (Article L121-1). Ces politiques s'appuient sur une idéologie méri...

Notre recherche s’inscrit dans le modèle bidimensionnel du jugement social, qui part du principe que ce dernier se structure autour de deux dimensions fondamentales, l’agentisme et la communalité (Abele & Wojciszke, 2013). Ces deux dimensions peuvent être décomposées respectivement en assertivité et compétence ainsi qu’en moralité et sociabilité (B...

We analyzed the stereotype content (warmth and competence) and prejudiced attitudes associated with persons with disability at an explicit and an implicit level. Study 1 examin...

Agency (A) and communion (C) are fundamental content dimensions. We propose a facet-model that differentiates A into assertiveness (AA) and competence (AC) and C into warmth (CW) and morality (CM). We tested the model in a cross-cultural study by comparing data from Asia, Australia, Europe, and the USA (overall N = 1.808). Exploratory and confirmat...

A great deal of recent work has found that two fundamental dimensions underlie social judgment. The most common labels used to denote these dimensions are agency versus communion, and competence versus warmth. The present work aimed to disentangle agency understood as the motivation to promote the self from competence understood as ability, and to...

There is a broad consensus' about the bidimensional structure of social judgment. These two dimensions have received various designations, such as agency-communion or competence-warmth. However, the concepts of agency and competence as presented in literature on social judgment seem to reflect different realities rather than simple interchangeable...
