The Structure and Behavioural Effects of Revealed Social Identity Preferences

2020

A large body of evidence shows that social identity affects behaviour. However, our understanding of the substantial variation of these behavioural effects is still limited. We use a novel laboratory experiment to measure differences in preferences for social identities as a potential source of behavioural heterogeneity. Facing a trade-off between monetary payments and belonging to different groups, individuals are willing to forego significant earnings to avoid belonging to certain groups. We then show that individual differences in these foregone earnings correspond to the differences in discriminatory behaviour towards these groups. Our results illustrate the importance of considering in…

La recherche en Management du Sport en « francophonie » : L’avènement d’un écosystème

2021

This paper aims to synthesize research on the Management of Sports Organizations (MOS) in France. Three parts structure this voluntarily simplifying contribution, very personal and collective at the same time through the direct and indirect contributions of many researchers. First of all, two historical parts between the 1960s and the 2000s provide a first disciplinary and then thematic perspective in order to make a French-speaking retrospective of the dynamics of scientific production. A last part in the form of a conclusion and an opening seeks to characterize the recent dynamics of MOS research (specialization, interaction, diversification) according to disciplines and/or objects of stu…

This paper aims to provide to the engineering environment a smart …

Sustainability and Care: On a Philosophical Contribution to the Project of Sustainability

2015

In this chapter, Hans Herlof Grelland argues that care is an inherent element in how we can see the world. It is included in our lifeworld perspective. By using Heidegger and Kierkegaard, Grelland thereby shows how sustainability and care can be argued from a philosophical perspective. This provides a thought-provoking introduction to concern or care, setting the scene for a strategy in philosophical terms which highlights the role of education. “Care implies responsibility, and awareness of this responsibility is the beginning of the change which has to come”.
