L'influence de l'activation des rapports intersexes sur les choix en faveur de la famille,du travail,du bénévolat ou des loisirs personnels

The aim of this paper was to study how the activation of intersexes relations affected the choices of activities linked to “relational” or “market” individualism. Firstly, as in Marro's research (1998), stories were presented in which the protagonists, being female or male, for different reasons (personal, professional, etc.) must decide or not to modify the time allocation that they devote to various activities, such as family, work, leisure, or voluntary help. Next, the subjects had to point out which choice they would personally advise. In addition, an activation of intersexes relations was carried out. The results have shown: 1) that personal advice in favour of “relational” or “market” individualism are found in both sexes ; 2) that the activation of intersexes relations modified more personal advice of female subjects than of male subjects (then more oriented, to family and work for women, to leisure for men).     

Les relations entre l'implication au travail,les comportements de citoyenneté organisationnelle et l'intention de retrait

The relationship between job involvement and organizational citizenship behaviours and between organizational citizenship behaviours and withdrawal intent (intent to quit and intent to absenteeism) are slightly well-documented. The purpose of this paper was to associated job involvement, organizational citizenship behaviours and withdrawal intent to examined their relationship. An empirical study was made using a sample of 252 employees. Data showed that job involvement predict most of citizenship behaviours (helping behaviour, civic virtue, sportsmanship) except altruism. Citizenship behaviours have significant and negative impact on intent to quit. More precisely, civic virtue and altruism predict only intent to absenteeism, while sportsmanship predict simultaneously intent to quit and intent to absenteeism. At last, helping behaviors predict neither intent to quit nor intent to absenteeism. Managerial and theoretical implications and limits of the study are discussed.     

So,Doctor, Now,What Do I Do?<Superscript>*</Superscript>

This paper proposes a discussion about acting on the therapeutic relationship using the notions of playing and the “use of an object” formulated by Winnicott; the formulations of Ferenczi as the concepts of introjection and the “ability to feel with”, as well as the concept of cartography from Deleuze and Guattari. It discusses how to manage the meeting with individuals who confront the analyst with sudden questions, gestures and actions. I propose that the management of the acting considers that there is a call for a conversation in which “doing” is in question, and in which the playful dimension of activities without rules is employed as a necessary option.     

Can the mind be embodied,enactive, affective, <Emphasis Type="Italic">and</Emphasis> extended?

In recent years, a growing number of thinkers have begun to challenge the long-held view that the mind is neurally realized. One strand of critique comes from work on extended cognition, a second comes from research on embodied cognition, and a third comes from enactivism. I argue that theorists who embrace the claim that the mind is fully embodied and enactive cannot consistently also embrace the extended mind thesis. This is because once one takes seriously the central tenets of enactivism, it becomes implausible to suppose that life, affectivity, and sense-making can extend. According to enactivism, the entities that enact a world of meaning are autonomous, embodied agents with a concerned point of view. Such agents are spatially situated, differentiated from the environment, and intentionally directed towards things that lie at a distance. While the extended mind thesis blurs the distinction between organism and environment, the central tenets of enactivism emphasize differentiations between the two. In addition, enactivism emphasizes that minded organisms are enduring subjects of action and experience, and thus it is implausible to suppose that they transform into a new form of life whenever they become intimately coupled to some new element in their environment. The proponent of enactivism and embodied cognition should acknowledge that life and affectivity are relational and environmentally embedded, but resist the further claim that these phenomena are extended.     

Trouble ou symptôme,comment penser la psychopathologie contemporaine ?

Since a few years child and adolescent behaviour troubles are a rising consultation motive and the subject of many debates. Our hypothesis is that behind the appearance of a similar symptomatology the underlying problematics are always singular. We can distinguish between the clinical listening to psychic problematics and the revelation of psychopathologic expression modalities developed by the patients. In a work with children and their relatives we propose to go beyond the expressed trouble in order to locate its symptom value for the child and his/her parents.     

Motivation,réponses de coping et performances sportives des escrimeurs : une analyse qualitative exploratoire

The aim of this work was (a) to examine the coping responses in fencers from a motivational viewpoint and their previous experiences and (b) to specify the consequences that the coping could have on their performances. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six fencers. Results obtained from the inductive analyses revealed that coping responses deployed with stressors are various and appear to be influenced by the previous experiences and motivation. Problem-focused coping would be really favourable for the achievement of the objectives. Emotion-focused coping and avoidance could have positive and/or negative consequences according to the individual and situational characteristics. Some of these results seem to be in agreement with preceding research, like that of Kim and Duda (2003). Future research would be necessary in order to better understand the dynamics of the coping process.     

L’expertise psychologique, élément de preuve du jugement judiciaire ?

With the psychological report, the French justice system seeks, not to reach a verdict, but to assess the defendant's penal responsibility (liability) and to adapt the sanction accordingly. The aim of this article is to examine, as part of the French penal procedure, the effect of an expert's psychological report, revealing material and moral elements relevant to the case that are incriminating the defendant or not, on objective, subjective, and general responsibility attribution. The results of an experimental study carried out among students, in ecological conditions, show that the psychological report is taken more as evidence about the case then as subjective information about the defendant. These results are discussed in light of recent judicial events.
