This article presents some theoretical reflections on the relationship between social representations-as they are conceptualized in sociopsychology--and discourse. An interdisciplinary point of view is advocated that accounts for both linguistics and sociopsychology. Methodological comments are presented and a way to convey theoretical reflections in a tool--an interview guide--conceived especially for obtaining interesting conversational data is proposed. The interview guide is appended. (Author/VWL)

Several studies have shown that a high proportion of criminal delinquents have learning disabilities. In a study started in 1993, Correctional Services of Canada examined learning disabilities as a negative element in the social reintegration of inmates. It was determined that corrective treatment of learning disorders could help the inmates reenter society. (Author/TD)

In France, more and more employees, whether they are employed by state-owned or private enterprises, readily admit they suffer from stress. Although subjected to both deep and difficult transformations, post office counter clerks do not use the word. A three-year research study with counter clerks of La Poste, led by clinical sociologists from the viewpoint of clinical sociology, invites us to question the notion of stress. To begin, the paper takes the opportunity to clarify the use that a clinical sociologist makes of this English notion usually connected with individual psychology. It then shows in which circumstances the counter clerks, including those who work in offices considered 'calm', are in fact confronted with working conditions that qualify as stressful. Finally, through clinical cases, the paper contests the North American view of stress by showing that it is essentially founded on an individual understanding of this pathology and that it abusively overlooks the collective dimension of work in its account of a real suffering.

The self is a crucial component of the psychic life and plays a central role for the adaptation to the environment. In daily life, this adaptative function is ensured, inter alia, by numerous biases filtering information and favoring those which are self-related. After succinctly reviewing the most documented among them which are affective and mnesic biases, the current paper provides a critical review of literature about a bias which is supposed to be perceptive, the self-prioritization effect (SPE). That has been revealed by Sui et al. (2012, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 38(5), 1105) with an astute matching task and consists in the fact that arbitrarily tagging shapes to a word referring to the participant (e.g., you--square) leads to faster and more accurate responses as compared to shapes tagged to a word referring to another identity (e.g., strange--circle). The methodological variations of this task and the SPE's both extension and putative origins will be presented, as well as the restrictions which border it, related to the individuals, to the experimental situation and to some more general properties of the self. Finally, some avenues for future research will be proposed, drawing some promising paths: beyond being a robust and intriguing phenomenon, SPE can indeed be considered as a convenient tool to assess some mechanisms underlying social cognition, in various fields using an experimental approach such as developmental psychology and social psychology.

The Role and Dangers of Selfie Culture from a Social-Psychological Perspective During the COVID-19 Pandemic In 2013, “selfie” was named the word of the year by the Oxford English Dictionary, implying a self-portrait photograph taken by oneself using a digital camera or a smartphone, mainly to post on social media. In the past decade, selfies have become a new medium for self-expression and self-representation (Qiu et al. 2015). On social media platforms, users publish virtual self-representations that are influenced by “real-life” individual and societal changes (Hogan & Quan-Haase 2010); which is also reflected during the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of social media and self-representation in social media posts increased during the first and the second wave of the pandemic, with selfies among the most popular types of content shared (Sándor 2022a; Sándor 2022b). The goal of the current paper is to provide a concise review of the selfie phenomenon from the perspective of the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by the author's research results on self-representation and image modification on social media.

Many studies try to measure the effect of land use patterns on daily travel behaviour of individuals. Results are controlled for socio-economic differences, and sometimes socio-psychological differences, among respondents. However, these studies do not mention why after all a relationship should exist between travel behaviour and spatial, socio-economic and socio-psychological attributes. This query can be answered by combining theories in transport geography and social psychology. Doing so, this paper aims to develop a conceptual model for travel behaviour that brings together concepts such as “spatiotemporal behaviour”, “activity behaviour”, “lifestyle”, “attitudes” and “habits”. Within this conceptual model two kinds of interdependencies are highly important: (i) interdependencies between explanatory variables, causing indirect effects on travel behaviour, and (ii) interdependencies between different data levels causing a nested data-structure. Structural equation models (SEM) are generally used to estimate indirect effects, whereas multilevel analysis account for the nested data structure. The paper recommends combining both statistical techniques in order to better understand the complexity of human travel behaviour.

Este artigo opera com resultados de uma pesquisa de psicologia social desenvolvida em regime participante e envolvendo mulheres que na Vila Joanisa - SP assumiram comunitariamente o trabalho de Centros de Juventude. Dedicamo-nos aqui ao exame de um problema político e psicológico, a humilhação social, uma modalidade de angústia disparada pelo impacto traumático da desigualdade de classes: para assim caracterizá-lo, recorremos à investigação marxista e à psicanálise.This paper is based upon participant research carried out in Vila Joanisa, a desinfranchised and poor district of São Paulo. As a social psychologist, the author has worked in Youth Centers, community-based groups both organized and coordinated by women. The aim of this paper is to discribe and discuss social humiliation, defined as a singular kind of anguish triggered by class inequality trauma. The psychological and political concepts of social humiliation were integrated into a theoretical framework informed by marxism and psychoanalisis.

Abstract: This paper reviews the present views and methods in the field of violence risk assessment. The perpetration of violent behaviours must raise the issue of the perpetrator''s psychological constitution and functioning. But being able to anticipate such dangerous deeds implies other dimensions as well: one must also consider contextual elements, “countertransferential” feelings elicited by the perpetrator in relevant individuals, and potential outcomes of the evaluation that is carried out. Nowadays, this is performed by means of so-called “Violence Risk Assessments”, using various instruments. Actuarial instruments are designed to provide a statistical estimate of future violence risk, while (semi-structured) clinical methods assist clinical professional decision-making with guidelines developed according to up-to-date knowledge in the field. The key concept of psychopathy, its measurement and implications, are also discussed, and valuable indicators are recommended, to be used both for violence risk management as well as for the development of a clinical framework on this topic.

Social acceptance is considered as a very important phenomenon in the development of renewable energy projects and the accomplishment of the energy policy goals. The aim of this research is to explore the determinants of community acceptance of renewable energy technologies while focusing on consumer orientation towards these projects. A qualitative study based on a semantic analysis and a deductive approach is used to study the determinants of the phenomenon in question. This research paper concludes with the importance for more systematic studies about the phenomenon of community acceptance based on pertinent theoretical background depicted from psychology, social sciences, precise definitions, and a focusing emphasis on symbolic and emotional aspects.

Over the last few years, psychology researchers have become increasingly preoccupied with the question of whether findings from psychological studies are generally replicable. The debates have originated from some unfortunate events of scientific misconduct in the field, and they have reached a climax with the recent discovery of a relatively weak rate of replicability of published literature, leading to the so-called replicability crisis in psychology. The present paper is concerned with examining the issue of replicability in the field of social psychology. We begin by drawing a state of the art of the crisis in this field. We then highlight some possible causes for the crisis, discussing topics of statistical power, questionable research practices, publication standards, and hidden auxiliary assumptions of context-dependency of social psychological theories. Finally, we argue that given the absence of absolute falsification in science, social psychology could greatly benefit from adopting McGuire’s perspectivist approach to knowledge construction.
