Perceptions of the present shape imagined futures: Unravelling the interplay between perceived anomie, collective future thinking and collective action in the French context.

In four studies (N = 1832 French participants), we tested if perceiving present society as disintegrated and disregulated (i.e. perceived anomie) would foster the projection of a negative national future and feelings of collective angst; which would in turn predict increased present intentions to engage in actions aimed at defending the country.

A preliminary experimental test of the crossed influences between the valence of collective memory and collective future thinking.

This research experimentally examined the crossed influences between the emotional valence of collective memory and collective future thinking. As remembering the past and imagining the future are shaped by the present, we additionally test whether perceived anomie (i.e.

Skepticism and defiance: Assessing credibility and representations of science.

Since the 1970s, there has been a growing interest in how individuals appropriate scientific knowledge, which has recently been reinforced by societal issues such as vaccine releases and skepticism about global warming. Faced with the health and social consequences of the mistrust of scientific knowledge, there is an urgent need for tools to measure the acceptance or rejection of scientific knowledge, while at the same time gaining a more detailed understanding of the processes involved. This is the purpose of this article.

Social representations of the coronavirus and causal perception of its origin: The role of reasons for fear.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic (between 26 March and 2 April 2020), we analysed ( = 1144) the social representations of the coronavirus and the differentiated perceptions according to the origins attributed to the appearance of the virus (Human vs Non-Human and Intentional vs Unintentional) in a French population. The results show that the social representation is organized around five potentially central descriptive, anxiety-provoking and globally negative elements. But death and contagion are the only stable and structuring elements.

Social factors and preference for quality cues: Towards a social construction of wine quality.

Wine preferences and perceived related quality have led researchers to consider the choice strategies employed by consumers. This article proposes to address the question of the effect of the position occupied in the social space (e.g.

[Measuring job satisfaction: Further validation of the Job Satisfaction Single Item Scale].

Background: In France, there has been a growing interest in examining the determinants of positive occupational health dimensions that contribute to employees' quality of work life. Among those dimensions, job satisfaction has drawn the attention of many scholars. However, only few validated measures are available in French, and among these we identified the Job Satisfaction Single Item (JSSI).

Are reflective models appropriate for very short scales? Proofs of concept of formative models using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory.

Objective: Because of their length and objective of broad content coverage, very short scales can show limited internal consistency and structural validity. We argue that it is because their objectives may be better aligned with formative investigations than with reflective measurement methods that capitalize on content overlap. As proofs of concept of formative investigations of short scales, we investigate the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI).

Context variations and pluri-methodological issues concerning the expression of a social representation: the example of the Gypsy community.

Within the social representations' field of research, the "mute zone" hypothesis considers that some objects are characterized by counternormative content that people usually do not express in standard conditions of production. Within the framework of this approach, this study aims to explore the variations in the expression about the Gypsy community following the manipulation of different contexts and the issues associated with a pluri-methodological approach of data analysis. Indeed, two methodologies have been combined.
