There are eight chapters in the book, organised in four sections. Chapter 1 "Creators of Culture" provides an overview of the basic tenet of the book - that climate demands and monetary resources influence each other's impact on culture. Dr. Van de Vliert further asserts that "climate and cash" interact to form integrated climatoeconomic niches. Chapter 2 "Climate Colors Life Satisfaction" summarises empirical support for the contention that a more demanding climate, leading to fewer resources, decreases culturally embedded satisfaction. The author illustrates that problems of unhappiness and suicide exist in regions with extremely cold winters, extremely hot summers, or both. In Chapter 3 "Cash Compensates for Climate," he explains how money resources make the difference between climat...

L'échelle de motivation intrinsèque et extrinsèque au travail (EMTET) est une mesure à 18 items de la motivation au travail ayant pour fondation théorique la théorie d'autodétermination (Deci & Ryan, 2000). La présente recherche s'organisaient avait deux objectifs. Premièrement, l'applicabilité de l'EMIET a été testée dans différents milieux de travail. Deuxièmement, sa structure ainsi que ses propriétés psychométriques ont été mesurées. Deux échantillons de travailleurs (militaires : N = 465; civils : N = 192) volontaires ont rempli les questionnaires. En utilisant les indexes de l'EMIET 3 (respectivement, l'index d'autodétermination au travail, de motivation au travail autodéterminée et non autodéterminée), les résultats des analyses de régression ont appuyé sa capacité prédictive...

It is apparent from the other papers in this special section on community psychology (CP) in Canada that we have a strong and rich, albeit brief, history and have made many contributions to promoting equality, health, and social justice in our communities both domestically and abroad. Furthermore, the multidisciplinary nature of our theories, along with our eclectic and participatory approach to research and social interventions, is necessary and relevant in our increasingly multicultural society and globalized world. Despite these strengths, CP is a relatively young and marginalized subdiscipline, especially in Canada. The marginal status of CP is observed within psychology departments, universities, psychology literature, work-settings, and the wider community ([Tim Aubry] et al., 201...

In Québec, community psychologists have played an important role in the definition and measurement of family violence and conjugal violence, as well as proposing interventions to prevent these problems. Following the lead of [Bouchard] ([Chamberland], Bouchard, & Beaudry, 1986), Québec community psychologists have collaborated with others on large-scale epidemiological investigations on the prevalence of child abuse (Clément & Chamberland, 2007; Clément, Chamberland, & Trocmé, in press), conjugal violence (Lévesque, Clément, & Chamberland, 2007), and the co-occurrence of these two forms of violence (Lévesque et al., 2007). [Lavergne, C, Dufour], Trocmé, and Larrivée (2008) examined the rates of placement of minority and Aboriginal children in the child welfare system, an...

This paper investigates levels of adaptation and standardisation in international marketing tactics, and examines whether multinational companies are adapting or standardising their marketing mix elements in international markets. It is based on empirical research with some of the largest UK-based multinational companies. The research shows that both adaptation and standardisation are used at the same time within the respondent group. Levels of integration are dependent upon consideration of the relationship between the rationale for internationalisation and elements identified, and an understanding of how these are affected by a number of factors (one of them being Entry Methods, the factor under consideration here).

Un grand nombre d'études s'appuyant sur la TAD ont cherché à définir, aux États-Unis et dans d'autres pays, la relation entre une attitude parentale favorisant l'autonomie chez les enfants et la motivation de ceux-ci, leur santé mentale, leur niveau d'apprentissage et leur rendement scolaire. Ces études ont dans l'ensemble fait ressortir le rôle crucial que joue le soutien des parents pour que les besoins psychologiques fondamentaux de l'enfant soient comblés et qu'il puisse ainsi croître et s'adapter le mieux possible. Par exemple, [Ryan, Grolnick] et Ryan (1989) ont effectué des entrevues à la maison avec des parents d'élèves de la troisième à la sixième année. [Les] pères et les mères ont été interrogés séparément. On leur a demandé de décrire leur façon de faire avec leurs enfants p...
