Induced 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 The present meta-analysis of 29 published and nine unpublished induced-hypocrisy studies enabled us to test three key dissonance-related issues.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 inte...
Energy-efficient houses are designed to reduce electricity. However, a gap between theoretical and actual energy performance of buildings is often observed. Achieving energy efficiency through regulatory norms is insufficient, and ways must be found to change people’s behaviours. In this line, normative feedback could be a powerful tool to reduce r...
Independent and interdependent self-construals are included in individuals’ self-definitions. The 24-item Self-Construal Scale (SCS) was developed by Singelis (1994) as a means of measuring the “two selves” of individual identity, namely the independent self and the interdependent self. It has been translated into a number of different languages in...
Les effets de l’hypocrisie induite, paradigme de la dissonance cognitive, peuvent être imputés à l’inconsistance qui existe entre une attitude socialement et personnellement désirable et des comportements quotidiens qui vont à l’encontre de cette attitude. Ce paradigme s’avère efficace pour amener les personnes à agir de façon plus responsable ou c...
Vos amis ont-ils les mêmes gènes que vous ? Le bonheur de vos amis est-il contagieux ? Votre meilleur ami pourrait-il vous piquer votre femme ?
Pour savoir ce que dit la science des liens d'amitié, plongez au coeur du travail des chercheurs en psychologie. À partir de questions étonnantes, faussement anodines, voire légèrement provocantes, l'auteu...
Most of these studies in the management literature have focused on how urges
associated with reactions to organisational injustice (ROI) can motivate extreme behaviours in the workplace, such as aggression, theft, abuse and absenteeism. However, ROI are not always bad. Empirical evidence shows that these reactions can sometimes deter abusive behav...
Commitment and the hypocrisy paradigm are two models used to convince people to adopt proenvironmental behaviors. The aim of the present study is to compare the effect of those interventions with a delay between the intervention and the observation of the behavior as this has not been investigated yet. People in a Parisian supermarket were asked to...
Comment passer d’un environnement de travail viable à un environnement de travail confortable, qui génère satisfaction et bien-être mais aussi performance et productivité ? Favoriser le confort au travail est devenu un enjeu majeur pour les décideurs et les gestionnaires qui se doivent d’intégrer les connaissances de la psychologie environnementale...
La compréhension des raisons du choix de mode de transports fait la part belle aux attributs fonctionnels, comme le temps de trajet, le coût des trajets ou l’accessibilité. Pourtant, les attributs symboliques et affectifs sont importants. Justement, l’une des différences essentielles entre voiture particulière et transports collectifs est fortement...
Since 1989, tap water consumption has decreased continuously in France. Both objective and subjective variables might explain this trend. We thus considered the potential impact of perceived health, confidence in tap-water quality, and risk-taking on this consumption. This study adopts a psychosocial perspective to (a) explore the links existing be...
How to study hostile behavior at work ? Conceptualization and application in a French context
Given the marked increase workplace negative behaviors such as theft, sabotage or absenteeism, research of the past fifty years have increased but have not developed an integrative approach. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on how we can study these...
The purpose of this article is to complement works on binding communication which demonstrate that by adding a binding act to classic persuasion approaches, one increases the chance of changes in behaviour. However, they did not answer an important question: does binding communication, which is already considered to be more effective than persuasio...
Binding communication and the hypocrisy paradigm are two strategies promoting environmental behaviours. Despite a high adherence to the "ecological norm", people do not actually apply it in their everyday life. Our research objectives are theoretical and applied ones. On the theoretical level, we compare the applicability and efficiency of the two...
This study investigates the reasons workers refer to in order to justify car or public transportation use when going to work. Seventy-five persons living and working in Île de France were interviewed (23 used their car and 52 used public transportation). Our results confirmed that the reasons given to justify choices concerning means of transport d...
Despite opinion polls saying that attitudes towards the environment and the protection of the planet are very strong, behaviours do not always seem to follow. How can we induce people to adopt pro-environmental behaviours? Commitment and especially Binding Communication are among the most effective theoretical models of social psychology in this ar...

Comment amener les gens a adopter des comportements responsables et favorables a lʼenvironnement ? Lʼengagement, et plus particul...
