International audience; The purpose of this paper is to report, from a qualitative study, the individual and organizational factors and processes that lead an employee to build a unique relationship to is health. We discuss these processes in relation to the construction of health among a sample of 34 „workers” selected in diverse contexts, considering health as a dynamic and co-constructed object. From biographical interviews and records of interactions between workers and professionals who support them, we analyze we analyze the transactions made between work and health. These transactions, which are defined in dynamic and combined processes (psychological, cognitive, interactive and organizational), contribute to define the orientation of the relationship to work, the professional route, and determine the evolution of more objective health status and how it can be seen, lived and managed individually. This article examines three different contexts: small business employees, employees of a large firm, and job seekers. These three contexts are related with different types of strategies implemented by individuals on their health in relation to their position in the world of work.

Les recherches qu’effectue Christine Morin, à l’IUFM de Lyon, est un exemple d’application, avec les mathématiques, des travaux menés en psychologie sociale ces denrières années sur les relations intergroupes et les relations de pouvoir, dans le cadre de la mixité à l’école. Les mathématiques sont en effet l’exemple type des enjeux de la mixité dans la mesure où les garçons y sont réputés meilleurs, et c’est là où Ton voit le mieux la façon dont les filles peuvent se sous-estimer, s’interdire de penser et bien sûr d’intervenir. Christine Morin’s research, at the I.U.F.M. of Lyon, provides an example of the application of the work in progress, in social psychology and mathematics on the relations between different groups and on power relationships within coeducational schools during those last years. Mathematics afford the very best example of what is at stake in coeducation in so far as boys are thought to be better ; this is the place where one can best see how girls can underestimate themselves, forbid themselves to think and speak for themselves.

Objective Researchers are interested in studying whether the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients and caregivers is influenced by internal psychobehavioral processes (temporality and coping strategies) and the personality traits that they or their relatives experience. We examined these associations in a sample of patient-caregiver dyads by using the actor-partner interdependence model. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 156 cancer patient-caregiver dyads. The self-reported data included QoL (Short-Form 36), coping strategies (Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Scale), time perspectives (Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory), and personality (Big Five Inventory). The actor-partner interdependence model was used to test the dyadic effect individualizing actor (degree to which the individual's characteristics were associated with their QoL) and partner (degree to which the individual's characteristics were associated with the QoL of the other dyad member) effects. Results Actor effects were found for patients and caregivers: The use of positive thinking and future/present-hedonistic perspectives were associated with higher QoL; the use of avoidance and past-negative perspective were associated with lower QoL. Partner effects were also found highlighting the specific mechanisms of the interconnections in the patient-caregiver dyad. The patient's QoL was higher when the caregiver used social support and experienced openness. The caregiver's QoL was lower when the patient used social support and avoidance strategies and experienced future perspective. Conclusions The examination of the relationships between individuals' QoL and their internal psychobehavioral processes and personality traits will have several applications in the routine clinical management. Individual-level and dyad-level interventions should be proposed: cognitive-rehabilitation, emotional and cognitive self-regulation for time perspectives, and personality constructs.

International audience; L'annonce du décès de Serge Moscovici, le 15 novembre 2014, a suscité dans la communauté scientifique, les milieux politiques et les médias une émotion qui s'est traduite par nombre de témoignages célébrant son œuvre multiple, son engagement social ou évoquant l’histoire vécue et la personnalité qui les ont étayés. Ces témoignages ont été épars et jusqu’à présent aucune vision synthétique n’a été offerte pour cerner la richesse des apports d’une pensée dont l’empan a couvert tous les champs des sciences humaines et sociales, ouvrant des perspectives innovantes pour la recherche. Pour honorer cette figure majeure des sciences humaines et sociales, la Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, a organisé, à l’initiative des fils de Serge Moscovici, un colloque international en 2017 à Paris qui a réuni des spécialistes internationaux des divers domaines auxquels cet auteur a dévolu son activité (psychologie sociale, écologie politique, sciences humaines et sociales). Le présent livre constitue une trace et un prolongement de cette initiative. Il comprend vingt textes de trente auteurs, issus de treize pays différents, influencés, marqués et inspirés par son œuvre singulière. Nous avons ajouté, en fin d’ouvrage, la reproduction d’un texte peu connu, rare et unique, l’exposé de soutenance de Serge Moscovici en 1961, ainsi que l’hommage appuyé qui lui a été rendu peu après son décès par le comité de direction du réseau international (REMOSCO) qu’il a créé, peu avant sa disparition, à la Fondation Maison des sciences de l’homme à Paris.

International audience; Avant-propos au livre qui comprend six textes rares et/ou inédits de Serge Moscovici sur sa propre théorie, celle des représentations sociales. Ces textes s'échelonnent sur une période d'une trentaine d'années (1976-2005), suivant ainsi le cheminement d'une pensée en phase avec la diffusion et l'appropriation d'une des approches les plus fertiles en psychologie sociale. Formulée au début des années 1960, cette théorie, devenue paradigme, réunit actuellement dans le monde une large communauté de chercheurs issus de la psychologie sociale (mais aussi des sciences de l'éducation, des sciences de la santé et d'autres domaines des sciences humaines et sociales).

Resume L’objectif de cette etude est d’analyser la facon dont les technologies a usage professionnel soutiennent, favorablement ou pas, le developpement de l’activite des cadres d’entreprise. Nous etudions plus precisement les transformations qui s’operent dans les pratiques professionnelles de ces salaries et examinons leurs implications sur le bien-etre et la sante de ces travailleurs. Nos methodes d’analyse combinent des approches comprehensives (entretiens et methodes des incidents critiques) et descriptives (techniques d’observation associees a des methodes de verbalisation) appliquees a differentes situations mediatisees de travail (nomade/sedentaire ; individuelle/collective, a distance/en presentiel) et menees aupres de diverses fonctions de cadres (expert, encadrant, de direction). Au total, 64 cadres ont participe a cette recherche sur 11 terrains differents. Nos resultats indiquent que les dispositifs techniques requierent des modalites particulieres d’exercice de l’activite professionnelle qui peuvent parfois s’opposer a la realisation efficace des tâches poursuivies (notion d’efficience) et/ou fragiliser la qualite du travail (notion de sens). C’est lorsque les technologies nuisent a l’accomplissement et au developpement de l’activite qu’elles degradent le metier et la sante.

L’objet de ce papier est de proposer une taxonomie fonctionnelle et diachronique des différents types de simulation de l’activité que la journée d’étude, consacrée aux démarches de simulation (organisée par la revue Activités) a permis de mettre en avant. Cette catégorisation repose sur quatre grandes orientations temporelles de la mise en scène de l’activité qui peuvent porter respectivement sur la simulation d’une situation (i) à venir (simulation prospective ou prédictive), (ii) en devenir (constructive ou réflexive), (iii) vivante ou persistante (projective) et (iv) passée (rétrospective). Pour chacune de ces approches, nous exposerons les principales méthodes associées et discuterons de leurs contributions et limites respectives. The purpose of this paper is to propose a functional and diachronic taxonomy of the different simulation types that the study day, devoted to the simulation process (organized by the Review “Activities”), made it possible to highlight. This categorization is based on four main orientations of the staging of the activity that can relate respectively to the simulation of a situation (i) to come (prospective or predictive simulation), (ii) to become (constructive or reflexive simulation), (iii) alive or persistent (projective simulation) and (iv) past (retrospective simulation). For each of these approaches, we will outline the main associated methods and discuss their respective contributions and limitations.

International audience; Essential HIV cure-related clinical trials (HCRCT) have a potentially high-risk profile in terms of participants' health, which could hinder enrollment by people living with HIV (PLWH) and healthcare professionals (HP). The ANRS-APSEC survey is part of the IAS "Towards an HIV cure" initiative, which promotes multidisciplinary research for a safe, affordable and scalable cure. The study objectives were to understand the psychosocial mechanisms underlying PLWH and HP viewpoints about future HCRCT. Six focus group discussions (three with PLWH (n = 21) and three with HP (n = 30)) were held in three French infectious disease units. From these, three perspectives on HCRCT were identified. The first involved beliefs and knowledge associating HCRCT with poorer health and quality of life for PLWH. The second concerned perceptions of HCRCT as a biological and epidemiological flashback to a situation when HIV infection was left uncontrolled. The third was characterized by aspects of historical HIV culture that embrace innovation.

International audience; En partant des politiques éducatives qui encadrent la promotion de l’égalité filles-garçons et des apports de la psychologie sociale, nous questionnons la déconstruction des stéréotypes à travers l’utilisation de modèles non-stéréotypés, voire contre-stéréotypés. Notre contribution vise à interroger le rapport des enseignantes et enseignants et des élèves d’élémentaire aux contre-stéréotypes de sexe présents dans les albums jeunesse. La première étude, exploratoire, rend compte du rapport des enfants aux contre-stéréotypes de sexe à travers l’évaluation de personnages illustrés ayant une apparence stéréotypée versus contre-stéréotypée. Les résultats révèlent un rejet des illustrations contre-stéréotypées, et un discours majoritairement stéréotypé. La deuxième recherche s’intéresse aux discours enseignants sur des albums jeunesse stéréotypés versus contre-stéréotypés. Nous pouvons noter une absence de prise de conscience des questions d’égalité, mais également des discours négatifs sur le personnage contre-stéréotypé. À travers les résultats de ces deux études, nous présenterons tout l’intérêt de penser la relation enseignante/enseignant-élève dans le rapport aux stéréotypes-contre-stéréotypes de sexe de manière indissociale.

The use of technology in public organizations in some African countries such as Gabon reflects a desire to improve quality of service for users and to make work processes more effective. Literature presents evidences that technological innovations in Western companies bring some advantages on both organizational and socio-professional levels, but also numerous negative impacts. The impact of technological change on occupational and organizational psychology in Public Administration in Gabon has not been studied yet. This thesis seeks to understand the impact of technologies on the Work-Related Quality of Life (WRQoL) factors and on psychological health and well-being in a larger governmental department. In this perspective, two studies (involving a mix of qualitative approaches with analysis and comprehension of their occupations, and of quantitative approaches with the measurement of the QWL and well-being), based on 91 senior civil servants, have been conducted, before and after the Ministry was computerised.The first study (T1) highlights the senior civil servants’ socio-professional and psychosocial conditions prior to the implementation of new technologies. As such, semi-structured interviews show that senior civil servants do their jobs depending on the nature of their positions. Findings reveal particularly inflexible and hierarchical organisational conditions. The presence and the pregnance of the «clannish culture » also determine working arrangements and communicating, which is mainly characterized by community-based working relationships and where ethnicity and regional belonging play a major role. Furthermore, QWL survey data show a relatively low level of psychological well-being in senior civil servants even though they feel positively about their various work situations. The second study (T2) describes senior civil servants’ socio-professional and psychosocial status six months following the implementation of new technologies. Our analyses show that the introduction of new technologies has led to big changes in work organisation, such as restructuring on the socio-professional, collective (a better collaboration and coordination), organizational (enhanced flexibility and initiatives) and personal (efficiency, reactivity and rapidity in carrying out administrative tasks) levels. Findings underline that senior civil servants set up new, more flexible plans of action when facing the inconsistencies revealed by the study. Statistical studies show that new technologies have a fairly positive impact on their psychological well-being. Devices also positively affect senior civil servants’ flexibility in decision-making, but paradoxically lead to a relatively high psychological demand. Yet, senior civil servants see their working conditions as positive in the technological context. The national (clannish) culture, which persists even after the introduction of technological tools, seems to play a mediating and even moderating role in the use and the impacts of ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) on senior civil servants’ psychological well-being and occupational health. To conclude, this thesis work provides key elements of reflection and analysis on the links between digitization of administrative activity and the concepts of QWL, well-being and health in public organizations of African developing countries such as Gabon., L’usage des technologies dans les organisations publiques des pays africains tels que le Gabon, traduit le désir d’innover dans le travail pour améliorer la qualité des services destinés aux usagers et pour rendre aussi plus efficace les processus de travail. La littérature fait état d’un certain nombre d’apports, mais aussi de nombreux revers que ces innovations technologiques peuvent avoir tant sur le plan organisationnel que socio-professionnel des entreprises occidentales. L’impact de ces mutations technologiques dans l’Administration publique au Gabon n’a pas encore été étudié du point de vue de la psychologie du travail et des organisations. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’appréhender l’impact des technologies sur les facteurs de qualité vie au travail (QVT); et sur le bien-être et la santé psychologique dans un grand établissement ministériel. Dans cette perspective, deux études (mixant des approches qualitatives d’analyse et de compréhension de l’activité et quantitatives de mesure de la QVT et du bien-être) sont réalisées: avant et après l’informatisation du Ministère sur une population de 91 cadres fonctionnaires. La première étude (T1) met en lumière la situation socioprofessionnelle et psychosociale des cadres fonctionnaires avant l’implémentation des technologies. À ce titre, les entretiens semi-directifs révèlent que les cadres fonctionnaires exercent les activités selon la nature leurs fonctions. Les observations montrent que les conditions d’organisation du travail apparaissent particulièrement rigides et hiérarchisées. La présence et la prégnance de la «culture clanique» déterminent également les modalités de collaboration et d’échange au travail; cela se caractérise notamment par des relations de travail de type communautaire où l’appartenance ethnique et/ou régionale joue un rôle prépondérant. Par ailleurs, les analyses sur la QVT indiquent que les cadres fonctionnaires présentent un niveau de bien-être psychologique relativement faible,mais perçoivent néanmoins positivement leurs différentes situations de travail. La seconde étude (T2) présente la situation socioprofessionnelle et psychosociale des cadres fonctionnaires six mois après l’implémentation des technologies. Nos analyses montrent que l’arrivée des technologies a engendré de profondes réorganisations sur le travail, réclamant des réajustements d’ordres socioprofessionnels, collectifs (collaboration et coordination plus importantes), organisationnels (marges de manœuvre et initiatives accrues) et personnels (efficacité, réactivité et rapidité dans l’exercice des tâches administratives). Les observations soulignent que les cadres fonctionnaires, confrontés à plusieurs contradictions révélées par l’analyse de leur système d’activité, mettent en place de nouvelles modalités d’action plus souples et flexibles. Les études statistiques indiquent que les technologies influencent plutôt positive ment leur bien-être psychologique. Les dispositifs affectent aussi positivement la latitude décisionnelle des cadres fonctionnaires, mais engendrent paradoxalement une demande psychologique relativement élevée. Pour autant, les cadres fonctionnaires perçoivent positivement leurs situations de travail en contexte technologique. La culture nationale (clanique) qui perdure avec l’arrivée des outils, semble jouer un rôle médiateur, voire modérateur dans l’usage et les impacts des TIC sur le bien-être psychologique et la santé au travail des cadres fonctionnaires. En définitive, ces travaux de thèse apportent les clés de réflexion et d’analyse sur les liens entre la digitalisation de l’activité administrative et les concepts QVT, de bien-être et de santé dans les organisations publiques des pays en voie de développement africains tels que le Gabon

Background The purposes of this study, performed on a large sample of cancer patient-caregiver dyads, were: i) to simultaneously investigate, using an individualized quality of life (QoL) measure (Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual QoL, SEIQoL), the QoL domains freely expressed by cancer patients and their caregivers, and ii) to explore overlapping between the SEIQoL assessment and QoL assessment using traditional instruments. Methods The study employed a cross-sectional design including cancer patients who were going to receive chemotherapy treatment and their caregivers. Quality of life was assessed using condition-specific questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 and CarGOQoL), generic health-related questionnaire (SF-36), and open individualized measure (SEIQoL). Results The final sample included 205 patient-caregiver dyads. From the SEIQoL, Family, Health, and Leisures were the most freely expressed QoL domains by patients and caregivers, but reported with different weights. Love life and financial issues were less spontaneously mentioned. The SEIQoL index was moderately correlated to the condition-specific QoL questionnaires (R lower than |0.40|) and to SF-36 (correlation coefficients: R ranging from 0.17 to 0.31). Conclusion Individualized QoL measures allow individuals to spontaneously express important, non-predefined domains. This study highlights the need to explore QoL using a combination of individualized questionnaires and standardized questionnaires, capturing complementary facets that patients consider important in their life.

The dynamics of the construction and perpetuation of gender stereotypes are classic research subjects in social psychology and in the field of educational guidelines in France. The most recent government decree aims to counter stereotypes in schools, by exposing pupils to counter-stereotypes. This study examines the effects of activating counter-stereotypes, versus stereotypes and gender neutral input, on the test performance of female and male fourth-grade students in a mathematical task in a ‘real-life’ classroom setting. Theoretical implications of social mechanisms to combat gender stereotypes are discussed.

Community-based research drives innovation in major fields of public health, HIV/AIDS being the most emblematic example (Demange, Henry & Preau, 2012), and hepatitis. However, this type of research appears to be more difficult to develop in certain specific diseases, such as cancer (Shankand, Saias & Friboulet, 2009). This article proposes various approaches concerning current citizen mobilization in relation to cancer research, including potential new levers to the development of participative and community-based research based on the recent creation of the Seintinelles platform, designed to federate researchers and citizens concerned by the problem of cancer. This reflection will be supported by more global issues concerning health democracy.

Objectives: As a result of organizational and therapeutic progress in the management of cancer, retail pharmacies are faced with numerous challenges in the follow-up of cancer patients. This study was designed to provide a better understanding of the way in which retail pharmacists define their role in the management of cancer patients and to identify actions that would promote more efficient coordination with other oncology professionals.Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with retail pharmacists and data were analysed by thematic analysis.Results: The majority (53%) of retail pharmacists provide patients with explanations concerning their treatments. Participants in this study described in detail patients’ questions concerning adverse effects (79%) as well as certain forms of alternative medicine (37%). Difficulties with an impact on patient follow-up were also reported, such as the lack of medical information concerning cancer treatments (21%) and their relationship with the hospital (26%).Conclusion: The availability of information tools shared by all healthcare professionals therefore appears to be essential to address the difficulties of follow-up of cancer patients by retail pharmacists.

In some cases, focus groups are used as a stand-alone method, but they are also frequently combined with other approaches. When designing a study, a combination of focus groups and individual interviews may be selected because they afford access to different aspects of the phenomenon under study (with focus groups being included in order to provide insights into collective construction of social knowledge and everyday knowledge). This can give rise to different sorts of data with varying possibilities and outcomes. Analysis, thus, goes beyond simply comparing the content of individual interviews and of focus groups, as analysis can also focus on processes, drawing on the various theoretical perspectives (i.e. social interactionism and subjective reconstruction) adopted by researchers. Using focus groups with a view to triangulation does more than simply make the data more complete; it also affords a better understanding of a phenomenon under study. For example, analyzing apparently ‘unremarkable’ data in group discussions about ecological risks led to the identification of what could be termed a ‘false consensus’. Thus, it is argued, focus groups can make a valuable, indeed, unique contribution when employed in mixed methods studies – not just in terms of the data generated, but also the insights.

Au-delà de l’engouement médiatique qu’il suscite, le concept de menace offre un cadre de réflexion scientifique socialement utile. Plus englobant que le risque, la menace renvoie à la fois à un sentiment diffus, à l’anticipation de conséquences négatives qu’on ne sait nommer avec certitude mais que l’on pressent, et à une évaluation concomitante d’une certaine impuissance à y faire face.

Context Despite huge advances in the fight against HIV concerning diagnosis, clinical efficacy of antiretroviral treatments (ART), patient survival and quality of life, there is still no cure. Recent developments in HIV cure research have opened the way for clinical trials which could lead to a temporary or definitive end to ART. However, ethical questions exist about related trial-participation risks. The main goal of the ANRS-APSEC survey was, using Q-methodology, to investigate the viewpoints of people living with HIV (PLWH) and HIV healthcare providers (HHP) regarding motivations for and barriers to participation in HIV Cure-related clinical trials (HCRCT). Materials and methods Thirty-three statements were defined encompassing seven dimensions: treatment and follow-up; risks; benefits; patient-physician relationship; beliefs and attitudes; information; target population. Forty-one PLWH and 41 HHP from five French HIV services were asked to rank-order the statements. Results Five main viewpoints were elicited from “the most motivated” to “the most reluctant” vis-a-vis HCRCT participation. All placed importance on the wish to participate in HIV research. This result is in line with the HIV-specific culture of joint mobilization. For some viewpoints, the motivation to participate in/propose HCRCT was primarily conditioned by side-effects and/or by constraints, which overall were more accepted by PLWH than HHP. Some viewpoints placed particular importance on HCRCT recruitment strategies. Finally, some expressed a high acceptance of risks and constraints but emphasized the need for information. Conclusion HIV cure research clinical trials (HCRCT) constitute a risky yet unavoidable step towards the goal of finding a cure. To improve future HCRCT and informed consent designs, based on PLWH and HHP preferences and expectations, we need greater knowledge about how these populations perceive the risks and the benefits of HCRCT. Our results confirmed the importance of careful, studied HCRCT design, management and communication, to ensure PLWH and HHP acceptability and convergence of their expectations.

International audience; Objectif : L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser les représentations et catégorisations des médicaments et de leurs effets sur la douleur chez des patients ayant reçu un diagnostic de fibromyalgie, syndrome non élucidé, sans traitement spécifique. Matériel et méthodes : Trente-cinq entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés auprès de patients ayant reçu un diagnostic de fibromyalgie. Ils ont été soumis à une analyse de contenu thématique. Résultats : Les médicaments sont évalués et catégorisés par les patients en analogie avec la douleur et ses représentations paradoxales dans le corps. Quatre axes structurant cette analogie ont été relevés : l'espace (localisé/diffus), la temporalité (permanent/soudain), l'intensité (doux/fort) et le degré de familiarité (habituel/nouveau) des médicaments et de la douleur. Conclusion : L'analyse des représentations des patients peut permettre d'ajuster la communication médecin/patient à propos des médicaments.

International audience; This study aimed to analyze the relationship between spirituality, coping strategies and health-related quality of life (HRQL) among a large representative sample of patients two years after cancer diagnosis. Using a cross-sectional design, medical and self-reported data were collected by physicians and a patient telephone interview, respectively. Among 4270 participants, 54.6% reported that spirituality was not a source of comfort at all during the disease, 23.4% stated that it was a source of moderate comfort and 22.5% a source of great comfort. After adjustment for age, gender, educational level and living in a couple, a multivariate analysis showed that a lower mental HRQL score was independently associated with finding moderate comfort in spirituality when compared with finding no comfort at all. After multiple adjustment, a lower score of physical HRQL and a higher score of fighting spirit were independently associated with having found great comfort in spirituality when compared with those who found no comfort at all. This study aimed to understand the dynamics of religious beliefs among cancer patients over the disease duration and to understand how these beliefs could be considered and utilized by patients as a source of comfort and support. The results highlight not only the role spirituality may play in disease management and the extent to which it may be a valuable source of comfort during the follow-up of cancer patients, but also its role in the evaluation of the different dimensions of HRQL.

Resume Position du probleme Les programmes en promotion de la sante sont supposes ameliorer la sante de la population et reduire les inegalites sociales de sante. Cependant, leur developpement repose souvent sur des bases theoriques insuffisantes et leur implantation se heurte a de nombreux obstacles. L’objectif de cet article est de decrire le protocole de l’ intervention mapping de planification de programmes en promotion de la sante, utilise recemment dans plusieurs pays. Methodes Les enjeux de la planification des programmes en promotion de la sante sont presentes et les six etapes du protocole de l’ intervention mapping sont decrites avec un exemple. A partir d’une revue de la litterature, differentes utilisations et les contraintes de ce protocole sont discutees, ainsi que ses limitations possibles. Resultats Le protocole de l’ intervention mapping presente quatre caracteristiques essentielles : la perspective ecologique (personne–environnement), la participation des acteurs, le recours aux cadres theoriques appropries en sciences humaines et sociales et le recours aux donnees scientifiques valides. Il comprend six etapes : conduire une evaluation des besoins, formuler des objectifs de changement, choisir les theories appropriees en sciences humaines et sociales et les methodes d’intervention, developper le modele logique de programme, planifier l’adoption, l’implantation et la perennisation du programme, et planifier son evaluation. Ce protocole a ete utilise dans plusieurs pays et dans des domaines aussi varies que la lutte contre l’obesite, le tabagisme, la sedentarite, le cancer et dans le domaine de la sante au travail. Bien que son utilisation soit contraignante et necessite un regard critique, il a permis de developper plusieurs interventions dont l’efficacite a ete documentee. Conclusion Le protocole de l’ intervention mapping est un processus permettant de repondre aux enjeux scientifiques et pratiques de la promotion de la sante. Utilise dans d’autres pays, cet outil pourrait etre teste en France, notamment pour reduire les inegalites sociales de sante.

This article, in memory of Jean-Claude Abric, constitutes an opportunity to develop two main ideas. The first one has to do with the history of social psychology and points at the absence of reference to this author in history chapters from French-langage textbooks in the field. The second, drawing upon writings on game situations, states that the main virtue of the representation-capable layman, which is never questioned in social psychology, is that of anonymity. On this solemn occasion, full of memories of life, exchanges and ideas, my paper will be structured by the range of variations around a core idea: that of names. In memory of a man, an author and therefore a name, I intend to approach this topic in two ways; at first from a historical perspective and then from an epistemological one.
