Evaluative Conditioning (EC) refers to changes in the liking of a Conditioned Stimulus (CS), which are due to the fact that the stimulus has been paired with an emotional stimulus (Unconditioned Stimulus [US]). Some authors suggested that current affective states of a person could be thought of as an emotional stimulus (US) that can change the liki...
Our aim is to study the early maladaptive schemas and the memory span abilities and to evaluate the relationship between these schemas and the memory in one side and academic performance in the other side among Moroccan students. A cross-sectional study is conducted among 212 students, randomly selected from different institutions of the IBN TOFAIL...

Introduction
L’anxiété de re-blessure (ARB) fait partie des réactions psychologiques survenant suite à une blessure [1]. Elle peut être un obstacle lors de la rééducation et du retour au sport [2]. L’ARB, étudiée exclusivement chez les sportifs, est considérée comme un facteur négatif qu’il faut prendre en charge. Nous souhaitons adopter un autre p...

Evaluations Implicites du Risque Suicidaire : Identification de marqueurs comportementaux.
Beliefs about voices and reactions to voices have been proposed as important variables influencing the course of depression in schizophrenia. Consequences of auditory hallucinations are different according to identity, goals, omnipotence, omniscience, and meanings attributed to voices by the client. Ten to 15 % of the general population experience...
Conditionnement Evaluatif et perspectives en TCC.
The impact of motion on the likeability of a stimulus.
Many authors showed that dynamism in images increases emotional responses whether they were objectively or subjectively measured (Simons, Detenber, Reiss, & Shults, 2000; Ravaja, 2004). The aim was to investigate the effects of three elementary motions on emotional films’ perception, given that these motions involved changes in the perception of st...

The present study investigated the time course of attention to safety-related and threatening words in High Trait Anxious (HTA) and Low Trait Anxious (LTA) individuals. HTA and LTA individuals performed a dot probe task with three exposure durations: 100, 500 and 1250 ms. Results indicated a difficulty in disengaging from threatening word in the 12...
Our goal is to examine the emotional influence of perceived basic motions on cognitive processes in childhood. The main hypothesis of this study proposes that the perception of motion will subsequently influence cognitive processing in a specific, emotional manner. We studied 90 children aged nine to 12 years old. On a screen they were shown a blac...
Recent work suggests that the ability to disengage attention from threatening information is impaired in anxiety. The present study compared the difficulty to disengage from angry, fearful and neutral faces in Low Trait Anxious individuals (LTA) versus High Trait Anxious individuals (HTA) at two stages of facial expression processing (i.e., initial...

Most studies on verticality’s embodiment showed that up positions were related to positive emotions whereas down positions were related to negative ones (Meier & Robinson, 2004). Research on motion perception found that a parabolic motion both induced animation attribution (Tremoulet & Feldman, 2000) and implied negative feelings (Chafi, Schiaratur...
La question des spécificités culturelles du trouble d’anxiété sociale s’est posée dès son intégration à la nosographie des troubles psychopathologiques. Nous avons repris cette question dans le cadre du traitement d’un trouble d’anxiété sociale chez une patiente migrante. Nous avons mis en place une thérapie cognitivo-comportementale en nous attach...
Introduction
Plusieurs études chez l’enfant sur la comorbidité entre céphalées et troubles psychologiques montrent des résultats contradictoires.
Objectif
Cette étude transversale a été menée afin de clarifier les liens entre anxiété/dépression et les céphalées chez l’enfant. Nous avons évalué les niveaux de symptomatologie anxieuse et dépressive...
Emotional congruence and Embodiment have been well documented in literature (Barsalou, 2008, 2009; Casasanto & Dijkstra, 2010). Certain dimensions of stimuli such as Horizontality seem linked to the reading direction of an individual (Phaf & Rotteveel, 2009), while others seem rather bound to biologically programmed factors such as life detectors i...
Prison employees are often confronted with critical incidents and chronic stressors that may lead to trauma or burnout symptoms. However, most of the research on clinical aspects of interpersonal violence in prisons (inmates-to-staff violence, specifically) focuses either on trauma or on burnout. The purpose of the present study is (a) to examine b...
How can children’s schemas evolve into adult schemas that are responsible for depression? To answer
this question, we translated Schmidt, Joiner, Young, and Telch’s (1995) Early Maladaptive Schema
Questionnaire into French and adapted it to children. We administered the questionnaire to two groups
of children in years seven to ten (N = 252), one gr...

295 students between 6 and 16 years old composed the study group. The level of haemoglobin was measured in a group of 295 school children. The iron status was determined by ferritin level in serum, and anaemia was defi...
This article deals with a conception of the cognitive schemas based on the necessity of distinguishing and of articulating clearly, for clinical purposes, the normal development of schemas and the pathological aspects of schemas. Current theories consider schemas as being pathological and built up prematurely during childhood. Today, these theoreti...

RÉSUMÉ : Il est courant d'attribuer aux individus anxieux un biais d'estimation faisant qu'ils surestiment les dangers potentiels de leur environnement et qu'ils sous-estiment leur possibilité de sécurité. Ce biais s'exprime essen-tiellement dans des situations concrètes et actuelles qui souvent génèrent de l'anxiété, et auxquelles les individus an...
Anxious people are currently attributed an estimation bias showing that they overestimate the potential dangers of their environment and they underestimate their safety potentialities. This bias can essentially be noticed in concrete and present, often anxiety-generating, situations which people have to react to with utmost urgency. We have tried t...
In alcoholic inpatients we first verified the efficacy of a classic CBT, non-focused on maladaptive schemas, on diminishing the level of activation of these schemas. In a second time we studied the evolution of these schemas with a one-year follow up. Subjects who relapsed revealed a reactivation of the maladaptive schemas whereas a continued dimin...

The socio-economical environment of children seems to be one of the principal factors affecting school performance. The aim of the present study is to determine the impact of certain social and economical factors on school performance in 197 children aged 12-13 years attending five schools in the city of Kenitra, Morocco. The children were divided...
Some theoretical aspects show that earlier cognitive approaches in psychotherapy (Beck, for example) were not based on theoretical knowledge, but anticipated, often with genial intuition, the development of cognitive theories in fundamental psychology. These approaches contain overly imprecise concepts which were based on clinical assumptions rathe...
On one hand, schemas responsible for psychopathologies are said to be slowly formed during the childhood which means they become stable, rigid and practically non-modifiable structures. On the other hand, cognitive therapy aims at modifying these schemas, sometimes a few appointments are enough for the shortest techniques. To explain this paradox,...
The theory of early maladaptive schemas was initiated by Young, who postulated that each pathology is supported by one or several schemas. Adults with anxiety disorders more activate schemas that controls. This hyper activate schemas would go back the childhood. In this study, we measure some cognitive schema's activation, with the Schmidt and al....
