Little is known about the importance of the adaptive, maladaptive and neutral facets of competitive orientations among French athletes. The aim of this study is to test the factorial validation and measurement invariance of the French version of the multidimensional competitive orientation inventory (FVMCOI) from the original version (MCOI, Orosz et al., 2018), which included 12 items and four factors (i.e., hypercompetitive orientation, self-developmental competitive orientation, anxiety-driven competition avoidance, and lack of interest toward competition). A series of three complementary studies was carried out with a total sample of 891 competitors. Following cross-cultural validation methods a preliminary version of the FVMCOI was constructed and the clarity of its items was established (study 1). Then, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) confirmed that the four-factor model for the FVMCOI was factorially valid, and consistent with the model of the original version. As such, the multiple-group invariance tests showed that the FVMCOI was partially invariant across both age and gender and fully invariant across type of sport, level of competition and over time (study 2). Finally, the concurrent validity of the FVMCOI was demonstrated through its expected relationships with achievement goals, competitive aggressiveness and anger in sport (study 3). The establishment of the FVMCOI extends the research in sport psychology by allowing an extensive psychometric study of the MCOI in the sport domain and providing deeper insights into the healthy, unhealthy, and neutral nature of competitive orientation in this context. The FVMCOI's potential practical applications in sport context, with some limitations and perspectives of this study, are also discussed. À ce jour, peu d’attention a été aperçue sur l’importance des aspects adaptés, inadaptés et neutre de l’orientation compétitive chez les athlètes français. Le but de cette étude est de tester la validation factorielle et les mesures de l’invariance de la version française de l’inventaire multidimensionnel de l’orientation compétitive (VFIMOC) à partir de la version originale (MCOI, Orosz et al., 2018), qui comprenait 12 items et quatre facteurs (c’est-à-dire, orientation d’hypercompétitivité, orientation d’autodéveloppement compétitif, évitement de la compétition en raisons d’anxiété et manque d’intérêt pour la compétition). Une série de trois études complémentaires a été réalisée auprès d’un échantillon total de 891 compétiteurs. Suivant la méthodologie de validation transculturelle, une version préliminaire de la VFIMOC et sa clarté sont établies (étude 1). Ensuite, les analyses des modèles d'équations structurelles exploratoires (MESE) ont confirmé que le modèle à quatre facteurs pour la VFIMOC est factoriellement validé, cohérent avec celui de la version originale. Aussi, l’analyse de l’invariance selon les différents sous-groupes a montré que la VFIMOC est partiellement invariante à travers l’âge ou le genre et pleinement invariante à travers le type de sport, le niveau de compétition et le temps (étude 2). Enfin, la validité concourante de la VFIMOC est démontrée par ses relations attendues avec les buts d’accomplissement, l’agressivité et la colère compétitive en sport (étude 3). La création de la VFIMOC a permis d’étendre la littérature en psychologie du sport en examinant les qualités psychométriques du MCOI dans ce domaine, et en apportant une compréhension plus profonde sur la nature saine, malsaine et neutre de l’orientation compétitive dans le contexte sportif. Les applications pratiques potentielles de la VFIMOC dans le sport, avec certaines limites et perspectives de cette étude, sont également discutées.

The heavy reliance on antibiotics in livestock farming has contributed to the development of antimicrobial resistance. To tackle this phenomenon, it is important to know the determinants of their use. Thus, this study investigated the way in which French pig farmers perceive antibiotics and biosecurity depending on their farm's department and ALEA (Animal Level of Exposure to Antimicrobials). A qualitative study was carried out on 87 livestock farms of a French agricultural cooperative specialising in pig production. The results show a social representation of antibiotics organized around the notion of demedication (i.e. the elimination or reduction of reliance on antibiotics). Concerning biosecurity, “large consumers” of antibiotics associate it with the idea of constraints, regulatory standards and temporal distances separating them from this practice. La forte dépendance aux antibiotiques dans l’élevage a contribué au développement de l’antibiorésistance. Pour lutter contre ce phénomène, il est important de connaître les déterminants de l’utilisation des antibiotiques. Ainsi, cette étude a porté sur la perception des antibiotiques et de la biosécurité par les éleveurs de porcs français en fonction du département et de l’ Animal Level of Exposure to Antimicrobials (ALEA) de leur exploitation. Une étude qualitative a été réalisée dans 87 élevages d’une coopérative agricole française spécialisée dans la production porcine. Les résultats montrent une représentation sociale des antibiotiques organisée autour de la notion de démédication (c’est-à-dire, la suppression ou la réduction de la dépendance aux antibiotiques). Concernant la biosécurité, les « grands consommateurs » d’antibiotiques l’associent à l’idée de contraintes, de normes réglementaires et de distances temporelles les séparant de cette pratique.

Abstract There is substantial evidence that research studies reported in the scientific literature do not provide adequate information so that readers know exactly what was done and what was found. This problem has been addressed by the development of reporting guidelines which tell authors what should be reported and how it should be described. Many reporting guidelines are now available for different types of research designs. There is no such guideline for one type of research design commonly used in the behavioral sciences, the single-case experimental design (SCED). The present study addressed this gap. This report describes the Single-Case Reporting guideline In BEhavioural interventions (SCRIBE) 2016, which is a set of 26 items that authors need to address when writing about SCED research for publication in a scientific journal. Each item is described, a rationale for its inclusion is provided, and examples of adequate reporting taken from the literature are quoted. It is recommended that the SCRIBE 2016 is used by authors preparing manuscripts describing SCED research for publication, as well as journal reviewers and editors who are evaluating such manuscripts.

tIn a contemporary context of major health challenges, the market of digital technologies has increasingly developed in past years. This article aims to explore main profiles of use in relation to connected objects and health apps, as well as attitudes related to uses, non-uses and contexts of use. Therefore, our objective is to contribute to the scientific debate by proposing an empirical study in psychology that focusses on the perspectives of consumers and non-consumers of these technologies in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Todo this, a survey was conducted among participants of a large publich ealth exhibition (n = 760). According to our results, the majority of respondents declare not having a connected object/health app and a third of non-users does not intend to acquire such techno-logies. Also, there is a trend among younger generations to have a connected object/health app. Concerning the contexts of use, such technologies are employed to self-track physical activity and eating practices. The degree of satisfaction of such use is rather high. Given these results, our analyses point out a divide within our sample, between individuals who seem resistant and declare not willing to have this kind of technology and those who use it in the long run.These results cast new light upon concrete uses and contexts of use among consumers and non-consumers of connected objects/healthapps beyond techno-scientific promises that prevail today in ours societies.

Abstract Introduction This paper is part of the theoretical thread of health psychology and it presents a study aimed to recognize information useful to implement psychological interventions finalized to personalize medical treatments and engage users in pediatrics. Objective In this paper is presented an observational study aimed to explore doctor-patient dialog about worries in pediatric primary care; it has been carried out identifying dialogical interaction patterns, or typical dialog between health providers, parent and child. Method We documented conversations in 265 visits; we audio-recordered, transcribed and analyzed them with Verona Coding Definitions of Emotional Sequences. Dialogs between participants were analyzed one by one. Frequencies of emotions’ signals (cues/concerns) and responses were analyzed through Redundancy Analysis, aimed to establish a quantitative relationship between these pair of groups of variables considering the asymmetrical relationship between them. Results Six “Dialogical Interaction Patterns” were obtained by interpreting these relationships; they show dialogs mainly aimed at obtaining information useful for diagnosis and treatment, with a limited exploration of worries or issues related to the condition of the child. Pediatric conversations seem to be characterized by a very high attention to cognitive aspects of medical questions with a poor consideration of emotions as useful information to medical practice. Conclusions These dialogs seem to ensure the rapidity and the efficiency of medical visits. Nevertheless, it could be useful to implement psychological interventions to achieve an enrichment of the dialog between participants, helping them to recognize users’ emotions as useful to define shared medical strategies.

Abstract Authors discuss some criteria they found useful for an Animal Assisted Education (AAE) intervention in a primary school aimed to promote, in children, interaction with animals, helping them to acknowledge their own emotions and those of others. Generally, these interventions are considered as a valid support for children with emotional or behavioral disorders, but they can also be an interest of Health Psychology as a protective factor against marked statuses of stress, anxiety and difficulties in training programs. In this paper, authors propose an intervention realized according Guidelines proposed in the Federico II Model for Pet Therapy, with a team was made by a psychologist and a veterinarian, with a specific training in Human–Animal Interaction (HAI), a dog and three donkeys. The intervention, addressed to 21 students belonging to a third grade class (8 years old), aimed to promote a contact with primary emotions such as joy, anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise. The proposed activities, guided by a playful approach, helped children to recognize and understand these emotions and to develop their relational skills.
