Psychological research suggests that politically motivated violence (e.g., terrorism) partially stems from existential motives, and more specifically from individuals’ need to achieve significance in life (Significance Quest Theory [SQT]; Kruglanski et al., 2014). Interestingly, sociological research has established similar findings linking anomia—a syndrome including feelings of meaninglessness, powerlessness, isolation, self-estrangement and normlessness—with violent behavior. In line with SQT, the present contribution aimed to test for the first time if anomia could be linked with political violence. Results from a study conducted in four countries (Brazil, Turkey, Belgium, and France; N = 1,240) supported this hypothesis by revealing a consistent, small-to-medium-sized positive correlation between anomia and intentions to display political violence (r = .21, 95% CI [.14, .28]) among undergraduate samples. This link held across countries, independently of political ideology. These results highlight the theoretical and practical usefulness of considering the role of anomia in explaining violent political behavior.

Secularism in France is both a state principle and a cultural construct, that enforces a State neutrality towards religion. Recent studies have demonstrated the emergence of a lay conception called 'New Secularism' (NS) that is used to legitimize expression of prejudice towards North African minorities. However, none have been able to yet demonstrate links between NS and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), which would further corroborate those beliefs' role as prejudice justification. Using Social Representations Theory, we created a Secularism questionnaire and used it in a cross sectional survey (N = 261) that also included SDO and Generalized Prejudice measures. In order to test social representation of Secularism's legitimizing function, we derived the hypothesis that NS will mediate the link between SDO and expressed Prejudice from a Social Dominance perspective. Results support our predictions and are discussed in light of intergroup status quo legitimization processes and their links with social representations.

Deviance Punishment is an important issue for social-psychological research. Group members tend to punish deviance through rejection, ostracism and – more commonly – negative judgments. Subjective Group Dynamics proposes to account for social judgement patterns of deviant and conformist individuals. Relying on a group identity management perspective, one of the model’s core predictions is that the judgment of a deviant target depends on group membership. More specifically, the model predicts that deviant ingroup members should be judged more negatively than outgroup ones. Although this effect has been repeatedly observed over the past decades, there is a current lack of sufficiently powered studies in the literature. For the first time, we conducted tests of Subjective Group Dynamics in France and the US to investigate whether ingroup deviants were judged more harshly than outgroup ones. Across six experiments and an internal mini meta-analysis, we observed no substantial difference in judgment between ingroup and outgroup deviant targets, d = -0.01, 95% CI[-0.07, 0.06]. The findings’ implications for deviance management research are discussed.

Fiske (1999) est une mesure du sexisme ambivalent envers les hommes. Cet article propose des précisions théoriques sur la notion de sexisme ainsi qu'une traduction en français et une validation de l'outil pour une population francophone. Une analyse factorielle exploratoire réalisée sur un premier échantillon (N = 395) a permis d'identifier une structure originale en quatre sousdimensions, pour lesquelles les scores présentent des cohérences internes satisfaisantes, cette structure étant appuyée par une analyse factorielle confirmatoire réalisée sur un second échantillon (N = 394). D'autres analyses confirment que les deux dimensions sur-ordonnées classiques de l'échelle (sexisme hostile et sexisme bienveillant) peuvent également être utilisées. Les analyses réalisées sur un troisième échantillon (N = 63) indiquent une fidélité test-retest satisfaisante pour chacune des dimensions et sous-dimensions. Par ailleurs, la comparaison avec l'échelle de sexisme ambivalent envers les femmes indique des corrélations positives significatives entre les dimensions des deux outils, sauf celles du sexisme hostile. Enfin, les différences de sexe attendues s'observent globalement : (a) les hommes présentent un score de sexisme bienveillant envers les hommes et un score de sexisme ambivalent envers les femmes plus élevés que ceux des femmes; (b) les femmes présentent un score de sexisme hostile envers les hommes plus élevé que celui des hommes. Les implications théoriques et pratiques des résultats ainsi que les limites de l'étude sont enfin discutées.
