Après un bref regard historique sur le Laboratoire de Psychologie Sociale à l’Institut de Psychologie, Université Paris Cité, l’article présente nos recherches sur la menace sociale. Ces recherches abordent la menace et sa régulation aux niveaux individuel et collectif. En effet, une menace peut être perçue par les individus comme les ciblant perso...

The present exploratory research compared how Indonesian and French participants defined national identity and the collective memories associated with their respective countries. This was examined in two studies using a mixed methods approach. Results show that Indonesian and French participants considered being born in the country as an important...

Earlier studies have investigated the significance of acknowledging reasons for tolerating behavior that is disapproved of, and have found that tolerance is more prevalent when individuals recognize relevant arguments that support something they oppose (Verkuyten & al., 2021). In our study, we aim to expand upon this previous research by investigat...

Regulation and Social Threats Following a brief historical look at the Social Psychology laboratory in the Institute of Psychology, Université Paris Cité, the article presents some of our research on the topic of social threat. Our research examines threat and its regulation at the individual and collective levels. That is, threat can be perceived...

The COVID-19 pandemic forced universities to move towards distance learning, requiring increased use of digital tools and more independent learning from students. In this context, the present study examined two previously documented barriers that contribute to social-class disparities in universities: the digital divide and the experience of cultur...

The present research examines the stereotypes held about North Africans in French society today. Extending past works, we included gender and separately studied the stereotypes of North African men and women. Using three techniques, namely, spontaneous generation, attribute rating, and pathfinder analysis, our results revealed distinct stereotypes...

Abstract The current research aims to examine if an emerging ideology such as interculturalism that addresses new and emerging realities revolving around superdiversity, cultural fusions, and mixed forms of identity (Yogeeswaran, Gale & Verkuyten, 2021), could be a more adapted strategy in order to manage diversity. Development of dynamics and mul...

In the present research, we examined cross-cultural generalizability of the roles of anxiety and intergenerational contact in age-based stereotype threat (ABST). To this end, we conducted studies in France (individualistic culture) and Indonesia (collectivistic culture). In the main study, elderly participants in France and in Indonesia completed t...

The present article aims to show that collective memories could serve as a criterion in social categorization. We predicted that a target person who shares common collective memories will be perceived as similar (to the self), relatively more favorably and categorized as an ingroup member. We conducted four studies using memories of historical even...

It is rarely mentioned that Alfred Binet (1857-1911), who had worked as a lawyer in Paris between 1878 and 1884, had always been interested in forensic examinations, particularly when they involved handwriting analysis. In France, the "Dreyfus affair" in 1894-1895 drew public attention to the potential usefulness of handwriting analysis in legal ma...

In his book "on suggestibility" (1900), Alfred Binet (1857-1911) established formally a scientific foundation for a "Science of testimony". In this context, he conducted some interesting experiments on eyewitness behavior. But Binet's book on suggestibility was largely ignored in France despite the important implications it held for the study of ey...

When the future contradict the past. Influence of conflict between memory and social representation of the status of the opponent element Social memory and social representations are manifestations of social thought and influenced each other : On the one hand, the past will be reconstructed according to the present interests, and in the other hand...

This paper examines the first moments of the emergence of "psychometrics" as a discipline, using a history of the Binet–Simon test (precursor to the Stanford–Binet) to engage the question of how intelligence became a "psychological object." To begin to answer this, we used a previously-unexamined set of French texts to highlight the negotiations an...

Between 1892 and 1904, Alfred Binet (1857-1911) produced, in the psychology laboratory of the Sorbonne, a whole set of original works that still remains little known today. He integrated the laboratory, directed by the psychophysiologist Henry Beaunis (1830-1921), in 1891. We describe the circumstances that led Binet to take the direction of this l...

Prior research has found individuals' reactions to vary depending on whether such associations are activated by emotions (an affective basis) or by beliefs (a cognitive basis) about the object's properties. Accordingly, this conceptual distinction should be relevant also for the discomfortive responses to one's ambivalent attitudes regarding fellow...

This research shows that the motivation to posses a desired characteristic (or to avoid an undesired one) results in self-perceptions that guide people's use of base rate in the Lawyer-Engineer problem (Kahneman & Tversky, 1973). In four studies, participants induced to believe (or recall, Exp. 2) that a rational cognitive style is success-conduciv...

Two studies tested the impact of autobiographical recall of general versus specific academic success or failure on actual task performance. As expected, it was found that general memories of failure and specific memories of success resulted in worse performance than general memories of success and specific memories of failure. In Study 1, this perf...

The present study examines how target group's stereotype content (on warmth and competence dimensions) influences subsequent target evaluation following self-threat related to one's competence. Participants first received threatening or non-threatening feedback on their competence. They evaluated then a job candidate who was stereotyped either as c...

The present study examined motivational influences on visual perspectives in remembering past events and behaviors. Participants were first induced to believe that extraversion or introversion is conducive of success. Next, they recalled in details two introverted past behaviors. Introversion-success participants, presumably motivated to see themse...

United States reports highlight that Asian Americans’ increasing HIV-infection rate results primarily from male-to-male sexual contact. Cultural factors, such as strength of identification with the Asian community, have been implicated. The ability of these and the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985) and information-motivation-behavioral skill...

The present study examines motivational influence on the perceived ease with which autobiographical memories are recalled, and the role perceived ease plays in momentary self-perception as characterized by inferences of success-promoting attributes (Kunda & Sanitioso, 198917. Kunda , Z. and Sanitioso , R. 1989. Motivated changes in the self-conce...

The present study examines discriminatory behavior following a threat to the self. In line with past research showing increased prejudice among individuals whose positive self-image has been threatened, certain discriminatory behaviors were observed among threatened participants. Participants first received positive or negative false feedback on an...

The theory of social comparison as proposed by Festinger (1954) states that people seek to compare themselves to others to obtain accurate information about themselves. For example, when a person is uncertain about an aspect of themselves, e.g. their intelligence, social comparisons with similar others might be used for the purposes of self assessm...

This article concerns recall of general autobiographical memories in motivated self-perception. General memories, comprising abstraction of repeated or similar behaviours, have more impact on how one defines oneself than do specific memories. In a study, participants were first induced to believe that either extraversion or introversion leads to su...

The present studies examined how the motivation to see oneself as characterized by desirable attributes may influence feedback seeking and social preferences. In Study 1, participants were first led to believe that extraversion or introversion is conducive of success. Next, they received false feedback about themselves, related to extraversion and...

The present article concerns the influence of desired self on the judgment of one's own past behavior. In the experiment, university student participants first took part in a group discussion. Next, in an allegedly separate study, they were led to believe that either extra version or introversion is conducive of success. Finally, participants had t...

In this article we discuss a number of objectives we consider important for improving graduate training. In addition, we propose sev-eral methods by which each objective may be attained. The suggestions are geared toward Francophone universities in Europe (including France, Belgium, and Switzerland) and their particular constraints, but they may pr...

This paper employs findings in social psychological research to analyze HIV/AIDS-related issues among gay and homosexual Asian men living in western countries, specifically in Australia. This includes analyses of: (1) the impact of collectivistic cultural ideologies on self-conception and self-esteem; (2) self-identity related to the status of Asia...

The present study examines how motivated self-concept changes are reflected in actual behaviour. Subjects were led to believe that either extroversion or introversion was related to success. Their preferences for others as interaction partners were then examined. The findings suggest that people seek others who confirmed the belief that they posses...

The present paper examines the influence of self-related motives in social perception. A series of studies showed that how we perceive ourselves at any one time is influenced by our motivation to see ourselves positively (e. g., that we possess attributes related to success or positive outcomes). Impressions formed of others are similarly influence...

The present study examines the influence of motives in the use of stereotypical and individuating information in perceiving a target person who is an outgroup member. Subjects were given both gender stereotypical and non- (or counter-) stereotypical behavioural descriptions of a target person who was always opposite-sexed to the subjects. Subjects...

Three studies with university students demonstrated that directional questions can affect which memories people access, and showed that people use these accessed memories to formulate their current self-conceptions. Ss asked whether they are characterized by a given attribute tended to believe that they had higher levels of that attribute than did...

The Eysenck Personality Inventory and the Adjective Check List were administered to 113 undergraduates both in standard pencil and paper form and in computer form, with a week between administrations. Correlations between standard and computerized modes were as high as could be expected considering the test-retest reliabilities reported for the sta...

We examined whether motivation affects people's use of statistical heuristics. In two studies, subjects had to decide how many instances to observe before making predictions. Half the subjects were led to believe that the observation of each instance would be relatively high in cost, and half were led to believe that it would be relatively low in c...

We hypothesized that people motivated to believe that they possess a given trait search for autobiographical memories that reflect that trait, so as to justify their desired self-view. We led subjects to believe that either extraversion or introversion was desirable, and obtained convergent evidence from open-ended memory-listing tasks as well as f...

This study sought to identify the effects of culture and sex on mate preferences using samples drawn world-wide. Thirty-seven samples were obtained from 33 countries located on six continents and five islands (N = 9,474). Hierarchical multiple regressions revealed strong effects of both culture and sex, moderated by specific mate characteristics. C...

Two studies suggest that the content of people's self-conceptions at a given time may be influenced by the perceived desirability of different attributes. Subjects induced to theorize that a given attribute—extraversion or introversion—was related to academic success came to view themselves as possessing relatively higher degrees of that attribute....

consider the origins and consequences of prejudice / discuss the historical view that stereotypes and prejudices are irrational beliefs and feelings / review the more recent perspective that emphasizes how normal biases in the ways people think can contribute to prejudice / examine how these cognitive biases interact with motivational and sociocult...
