International place branding through sporting events: a British perspective of the 2008 Beijing Olympics

2012

International audience; The goal of this study is to examine if hosting major sporting events represents a relevant strategy to brand a place ‘internationally’ through brand association transfer and to identify whether or not it should be seen as co-branding process. Based on social representation theory and an abductive research strategy, a survey was carried out among British citizens to identify their opinions about the Olympic Games and the city of Beijing following the organisation of the Games in August 2008. The content and the structure of the social representations were analysed and then compared to determine whether or not a double transfer of associations occurred between the pla…

On methods of access to the structure of social representations: the example of Europe.

2012

espanolEl objetivo de este estudio es identificar la logica detras de una serie de metodos estadisticos utilizados para revelar la estructura de las representaciones sociales. Se solicito a un numero de sujetos (n = 317) responder a la pregunta siguiente: �Para cada categoria de europeo, por favor indique con que otros europeos le gustaria tener contacto�. Los resultados de los analisis de similitud nos llevan a la conclusion de que existe un sesgo etnocentrico, y revelan el factor central de la representacion. La representacion obtenida por el analisis factorial de correspondencias se parece mas a la realidad actual y nos permite entender las divisiones que han estructurado Europa y perman…

Twenty-three trainees were divided randomly into two groups, either a treatment group or a control group. The treatment proposed to the participants was the Personal Goal Management Program. Trainees’ school and football motivation and satisfaction were measured before, during and after the intervention. Results indicated a beneficial influence on football motivation and satisfaction, and overall trainee satisfaction. Methodological and applied suggestions are made to favour adjus…

Stacking et discrimination : le cas de deux études en contexte virtuel

Resume A partir de la theorie du stacking, cette recherche vise a questionner les processus de discrimination mis en œuvre (couleur de peau et genre) en sport. Plus precisement, les deux etudes proposees montrent l’existence de biais de placement des joueurs, au basketball et au football. La premiere etude met en evidence une surrepresentation des basketteurs noirs aux postes non centraux et une surrepresentation des basketteurs blancs aux postes centraux (racial stacking). La deuxieme etude met en evidence une surrepresentation des footballeuses aux postes non centraux et une surrepresentation des footballeurs aux postes centraux (gender stacking).

Brand social representations: strategic perspectives for a fitness club

2009

International audience; The aim of this study was to identify an accurate tool to enable fitness club managers to discover those opinions or stereotypes which represent obstacles to joining their organisations. Starting with brand image, the analysis then considered social representations as relevant constructs for apprehending these opinions or prejudices. The use of a word association task and the model of basic cognitive schemes (Rouquette, 1990; 1994) provided access to the salient elements of the social representations of a particular sport brand and the way they are structured. The procedure combining these two stages represented a diagnostic tool for identifying the attractive and un…

‘White men can’t jump in a black basketball game?’ An exploratory investigation of implicit strategies of outgroup discrimination

2017

AbstractExamining the ‘natural’ athlete myth and utilizing the recent literature on cultural/social factors in athleticism and basketball, this study through survey research examines the influence of stereotypes on the impression formation of basketball players. The primary research question is to determine from a group of students the attitudes of basketball players in terms of how they evaluate white and black players in basketball. The purpose is to identify participants’ perceptions and their appreciation as to whether or not black are superior to white basketball players. The theoretical framework employed is articulated around the theory of social categorization and racial stereotypes…

Black German identities

2009

This study examines the reliability and validity of a German version of the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI) in a sample of 170 Black Germans. The internal consistencies of all subscales are at least moderate. The factorial structure of the MIBI, as assessed by principal component analysis, corresponds to a high degree to the supposed underlying dimensional structure. Construct validity was examined by analyzing (a) the intercorrelations of the MIBI subscales and (b) the correlations of the subscales with external variables. Predictive validity was assessed by analyzing the correlations of three MIBI subscales with the level of intra-racial contact. All but one predictio…

Biais de discrimination et statut social : une étude de terrain sur les relations intergroupes

2006

International audience; This study concerns discrimination bias in relations between work groups. As new developments in categorisation theory have shown, several factors modulate the effects of inter-group categorisation. Among these, status is viewed as introducing conflict between groups. We studied the impact of this factor in a work situation where status was not linked to power, choosing a firm in which relations between groups were conflict provoking. Three work groups within the same mobile phone firm were selected on the basis of their status : the ''Hard'' group, considered as high status in relation to the low status ''Administration'' group, and the ''Production'' group with an …

Social representations as a diagnostic tool for identifying cultural and other group differences

2005

The aim of this research is to develop a procedure for data collection within a social representations perspective that may be of use in diverse contexts in which investigators wish to understand and compare the norms and values associated with a particular social object in different social or cultural groups. The social representation of sport is studied in two culturally distinct countries, Morocco and France, with the use of an innovative procedure derived from the Model of Basic Cognitive Schemes (Rouquette, 1990, 1994b). The results reveal a difference in the appropriation of values related to sport in the two countries: the social representation of sport for the Moroccans is focused a…

Basking in Reflected Glory and Blasting

2007

This study examines, in soccer fanzines, two identity-management strategies—basking in reflected glory (BIRGing) and blasting—of two groups of highly identified soccer fans with allegiance to the same team. Results show strong support for the BIRG phenomenon among both ultra fan groups but little evidence of the blasting phenomenon among either group. The implications of these findings are discussed in regard to social identity management among sports fans.

Parents’ Perceptions of Their Involvement in Their Child’s Sport Activity

2011

The aim of this study was twofold: (a) to examine how parents perceive their involvement in their child’s sport activity and (b) to compare these perceptions according to the stage of the child’s sport participation. Using a qualitative design, 36 French parents of young tennis players were interviewed with a semistructured format. Transcriptions were analyzed by means of the propositional analysis of discourse, which permits, through the use of linguistic indicators, taking into account semantic and syntactic features. Results indicated that parents of noncompetitive tennis players talked negatively about their own (tangible) involvement and perceived tennis as a leisure-time activity, wh…

This paper reports the findings of a 12-nation study designed to test empirically the relationships between societal cultural values, individual social beliefs, and the perceived effectiveness of different influence strategies. The relationships between three types of broad influence strategy (persuasive, assertive, and relationship based) and four dimensions of individual beliefs (cynicism, fate control, reward for application, and religiosity) were examined. Three of Project GLOBE's cultural values (in-group collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and future orientation) were selected to investigate their direct effects on the rated effectiveness of influence strategies, and their possible i…

Socio Psychological Counseling: How to Manage Identities?

2013

The work presented here is a research carried out into initiatives for returning the long-term unemployed to work. A small case group study based on international expertise in social categorization and communication was conducted in France. This analysis of “long-term unemployment” was done through the consequences for relationships with work with a view to suggesting a suitable remedial approach. The recommended socio psychological counseling is based on reconstructing the professional identity of the long-term unemployed person and implementing this before the return to a supported role that should serve as a springboard towards permanent employment. The results lead to extend this method…

2008

The aim of this study was to develop a questionnaire to measure adjustment of teenagers at soccer training centers, particularly newcomers. The Soccer Trainee Adjustment Scale was adapted from the Institutional Integration Scale and assesses the trainee's adjustment to operating and social activities. The scale was tested on a sample of 136 trainees from four soccer centers. Exploratory analysis indicated that the 13 items formed five factors: peer adjustment, boarding supervisor adjustment, soccer adjustment, scholastic adjustment, and boarding adjustment. These factors had internal consistency reliability ranging from .76 to .94.

Spectators' Identification with French Sports Teams: A French Adaptation of the Sport Spectator Identification Scale

2007

International audience; Due to the works of Wann and colleagues, spectators' identification with teams has taken on a central role in the study of sports spectators' thought and behavior. However, no research in this area has measured identification with sports teams in the French context. Two studies attempted to develop a valid and reliable French version of the Sport Spectator Identification Scale (SSIS) developed by Wann and Branscombe in 1993 to measure team identification. In Study 1, 200 physical education students completed a French translation of the SSIS and several questions concerning their involvement, investment, and evaluation of the team's future performance. Results showed …

Culture specific and cross-culturally generalizable implicit leadership theories

1999

This study focuses on culturally endorsed implicit theories of leadership (CLTs). Although cross-cultural research emphasizes that different cultural groups likely have different conceptions of what leadership should entail, a controversial position is argued here: namely that attributes associated with charismatic/transformational leadership will be universally endorsed as contributing to outstanding leadership. This hypothesis was tested in 62 cultures as part of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) Research Program. Universally endorsed leader attributes, as well as attributes that are universally seen as impediments to outstanding leadership and cultur…

For a socio-psychological approach of the concept of racial stacking

2015

AbstractResearch studies focusing on the relationships between team sports and socio- ethnicity have developed in the Anglo-Saxon literature since the 1970s. In particular the use of the concept of racial stacking confirms a growing interest in a more complex vision when it comes to player selection and positioning. In basketball, studies have identified that black players are overrepresented in the American professional basketball championships (NBA) and at the same time patterns of racial stacking exist as they are overrepresented at non-central positions. This research led to a survey of black players’ positions in the professional championships in France (Pro A basketball). Using social…

Understanding the consequences of victory amongst sport spectators: The mediating role of BIRGing.

2016

Prior work on the relationships between team identification and spectators' reactions to one's team victory has largely neglected the potential effects of mediating variables. In this research, we proposed that the process of Basking in Reflected Glory [BIRGing - the tendency to reduce the distance between oneself and one's team; Cialdini, R. B., Bordon, R. J., Thorne, A., Walker, M. R., Freeman, S., & Sloan, L. R. (1976).

Les pratiques sportives dans la perspective d'un quartier durable

2013

This paper aims to better understand the role of physical activity in social durability. The empirical study concerns sport and recreational activity among inhabitants of a popular urban district. The exploration, at the same time, of gender and generational categories, shows a large discrepancy between the two groups which stops only at 60 years old. This territorial specificity, referring to European and global French data, enhances a resilience point that can support the role of the actors of sport movement in reinforcing the district social durability.

Le numérique à l'école primaire. Analyse des effets conjoints sur les élèves et les enseignants

2020

International audience; Les technologies numériques sont investies en France depuis plusieurs années par les pouvoirs politiques comme un instrument de lutte contre l'échec scolaire. L'hypothèse est parfois faite que les technologies de l'information et de la communication en éducation (TICE) améliorent sensiblement la qualité de l'éducation en modifiant et facilitant les conditions d'apprentissage des élèves. Cependant, les travaux de recherche montrent des effets relativement ambigus de l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies sur les acquis des élèves.

Proposition d'un cadre d'analyse des relations intergroupes conflictuelles potentiellement violentes ou discriminatoires dans le spectacle sportif

2008

Depuis une dizaine d'années, nous assistons à une mondialisation et à une diversification du spectacle sportif aussi bien dans les sites dédiés à leur manifestation que dans les lieux investis pour le suivi de leur retransmission. Les contextes sociaux liés à la réception du spectacle sportif sont devenus des lieux de constructions et d'expressions identitaires qui se manifestent par des appartenances à des groupes plus ou moins organisés. Même si cette situation n'est pas inédite, elle semble avoir pris des proportions considérables dans certains pays européens et dans certains sports avec l'émergence de formes de violence (symbolique, verbale, physique...) et de discrimination (territoire…

Co-construction et appropriation des savoirs en EPS et stratégies de management identitaire

2010

Les mécanismes psycho-sociologiques relatifs aux interactions groupales influent sur l'appropriation d'un savoir en EPS. Ainsi, les théories de l'identité sociale (Tajfel & Turner, 1986) et de l'auto-catégorisation (Oakes, Haslam & Turner, 1994) montrent que l'individu peut se définir en fonction de ses appartenances groupales. Ces positionnements sociaux émergent quand un ensemble humain est divisé en sous-groupes ; l'apparition chez l'individu de diverses distorsions (perception, évaluation, comportement) favorise son groupe (endogroupe) et peut être préjudiciable à un groupe extérieur (exogroupe). Les "stratégies de management identitaire" (Ellmers, 1993) permettent à l'individu de conse…

Il s’ensuit que les contextes sociologiques dans lesquels émergent les mécanismes fondamentaux, bien qu’ils ne soient pas irréductibles les uns aux autres, sont souvent minorés et l’interprétation des résultats produits souvent distordue. Il s’agira de montrer en quoi ces conceptions « abusives » nuisent à de véritables actions visant l’affaiblissement de la discrimination.
