Full textThe present thesis investigates the links between burnout, academic stress and depression among adolescents. The study is based on two main approaches. In the first approach, quantitative and statistics results are obtained about the links between the three main variables within a sample of 1006 high school students. In the second approach, around twenty qualitative and longitudinal case studies are conducted using semi-directional interviews and projective Rorschach and TAT tests. Statistically, the three main variables show significant positives links. Burnout is explained by academic stress and depressive symptomatology is explained by burnout. Burnout is a mediator between academic stress and depressive symptomatology. A “school burnout” is indeed observed among high school students. It differs from depression by its exclusive exogenous pathogenic academic stress causality. It mainly roots on the work inter-subjective bonds. Burnout is independent from a specific psychic organization or structure. Burnout and depression links have thus been identified, allowing to consider prevention and/or therapeutic perspectives

Full textDropping out of school can seriously affect employment possibilities and social integration. There are tools to investigate and measure the level of risk of dropping out. Academic performances and behaviour problems are well documented risk factors. Impulsivity and risk taking can lead to problematic behaviour. Certain studies have looked into the impact of stress on the dropping out process, but its impact on academic performances, impulsivity and risk taking has never been evaluated directly with the risk level of dropping out. Objective and hypothesis : The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of stress on academic performances, impulsivity and risk taking and to measure the relation of this impact with the risk level of dropping out of school. The hypothesis is that higher the risk level, higher the negative impact stress will have on our measures of academic performance, impulsivity and risk taking. Method : 37 young adults between 15 and 20 years old with no diploma took part in the study. After measuring the risk level of dropping out, a full characterization was made followed by academic performance, impulsivity and risk taking tasks before and after a social stress condition, the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). Results : Our salivary cortisol samples show that the TSST did not produce a significant change in levels of stress to adequately test our hypothesis. Our results show a significant interaction between impulsivity and the risk level of dropping out. Furthermore, the relation between risk taking and impulsivity in our results is interesting Conclusion : The objective of this project could not be adequately tested since the stress condition didn't produce a significant stress reaction, as measured by salivary cortisol. The level of risk of dropping out was significantly correlated with impulsivity, but not risk taking, nor academic performances.

Full textScientifically described as a physiological or psychic phenomenon, fatigue, before it can be perceived as an objective fact, requires a multi-faceted approach. A preliminary analysis of the term fatigue as used by parents is one way of bringing together the different points of view on the subject, with a view to explaining its successive symbolisms. Fatigue was considered a form of disease in the xviiith century. Muscular fatigue was dismissed and fatigue was reduced simply to a lack of hygiene, indeed to suspect morality. Fragility and corporal impressions are the prerogative neither of adults nor of children. In the xixth century, because the body was made to serve the industrial world, a new sensitivity-suffering was ushered in, which paved the way for the recognition of the concept. The first laws regulating child labour resulted from a debate limited to the appreciation of physical fatigue visible through physical degeneration. But the principle of compulsory school attendance brought this concept to a dimension more closely linked with the intellect ; it was then described as study fatigue. Our contemporary world, now confronted with a multireferential notion of fatigue based on scientific theories, has only been able to affirm these definitions at the price of a slow evolution of mentalities, which paradoxically too often leaves parents nonplussed in the face of an increasingly complex situation. However, a yawning gap persists between the rhythms of ordinary life and those of school life imposed on children. Worse is the study carried out on a sample of 250 people which shows that, in general, it is indeed upper class families who manage, by their theories of upbringing, to bridge this gap. Whether it is a superficial phenomenon or the symptom of a deeper social disturbance, fatigue could jeopardise our society, unless today's children, who will be tomorrow's adults, come up with an answer while there is still time

Full textA number of studies have delved into the social or school factors of dropping out rooted in the contexts of elementary or middle school (e.g., school difficulties associated with a low socioeconomic background). As a complement, more research is needed to better understand dropping out during high school and its underlying « stress process » (Dupéré et al., 2015). The present thesis responds to this need by analysing administrative and self-reported data from vocational and academic students followed during three years starting at the first year of high school (N > 1900, including 17% dropouts). Firstly, our multilevel analyses show that, regardless of students’ social and school background before high school, the stress process at the beginning of high school increases the odds of dropping out by diminishing perceptions of school justice and control and teacher support (i.e., resources and needs that protect against stress) as well as school engagement and grades (i.e., proximal factors of stress). Secondly, regardless of students’ background, being admitted into a vocational track that offers poorer employment prospects facilitates dropping out. Likewise, entering a less prestigious track contributes to dropout, but only among students who feel little control or justice in the high school context. Thirdly, analyses of school trajectories point to the existence of 4 dropout profiles that can be differentiated according to their life course and stress process. Most dropouts (60%) show “normative” student profiles during high school and are overrepresented in the most unfavourable tracks. Overall, these results suggest that high school dropout cannot be reduced to the early risk factors that are highlighted in the literature, but that it is also due to the existence of tracks that show little promise for future employment and to the stress process that results, for some students, from school and social relegation. Implications are drawn regarding the way dropping out can be conceived of and tackled from an approach that combines these dimensions (i.e., school tracking and individual development)

Full textSummary of the thesis :The study questions the specific factors of dropping out of school in the Congolese context.Three studies were carried out as part of this work. The results made it possible to highlight the personal and environmental factors that lead young people to enter the process of dropping out of school. Theoretical research and the results of the various investigations allow us to discuss the factors classically studied in this research framework and to highlight the factors specific to Congolese mores and customs. The research also made it possible to identify the different strategies implemented by some young people (most of whom already constitute a population at risk of dropping out of school) in order to be able to stay in school despite the unfavorable conditions of their schooling. environment. This information was drawn from two different sources: from the population of those who still cling to the system and from a population of school dropouts.

Full textPsychological stress and trauma are the reference framework of this study of teachers' experience who had suffered aggressions from students. Some clinical interviews have been made to secondary teachers. This investigation has been completed by self-questionnaires. Results show that the distress is not really different from other victims'. The subjective experience of the event seems to play a greater part in the development of psychotraumatic symptomatology. Traumatized teachers have lost their identity references and their believes. To give sense to the aggression, they do their best to cope with it, focusing their efforts on seeking social support and problem solving. Psychotraumatic disorders were found to be mediated by availability of functional social support, specially occupational support. From a strictly theoretical point of view, this twofold approach of psychological stress and psychic traumatism has allowed to develop a model integrating these two concepts

Full textThe discussions on evaluation at school have been topical in the educational and academic community (Rey & Feyfant, 2014). Evaluating settings create a « test results pressure » and many studies report a constant fear which student feel in relation to such a pressure. Previous research reveals that assessments situations are the major source of school anxiety and stress in most western countries. Besides the important health and mental problem, ce stress may produce a negative effect on school results. The research question we try to find the answer is: if evaluations and assessments are a source of stress in young scholar students and if yes, in what way do they interfere with cognitive performance in situations of knowledge restitution.We conducted an experimental study in a real school context (n=126 students). We used the methodology and procedures of experimental psychology and neurosciences. The results of both experiments show that assessment situations are very stressful for the students of this age (11-12 y.o.). Even if the general performance was not much altered by the stress, the number of correct answers on very difficult pictures was inferior under stress. The girls were more stressed by the evaluating context, the boys were more affected by response time constraints. These results raise doubts as to whether an assessment context allows young school children to fully access to their personal resources and to show their real performance. One can doubt what is exactly assessed during evaluation: the true level of acquisition of school knowledge by students or, rather, their capacity to cope with stress induced by the evaluative pressure to perform well

Full textThe objective of this research is to study, in an ecosystemic manner inspired by the Bronfenbrenner model (1986), the specific and combined influence of the context of marital violence and maternal stress on the socio-emotional development of the young child from 5 to 6 years of age. Thus, our study aims to answer the following questions: What about socio-emotional pre-school child development when the child grows up in a context of marital violence? Which environmental factors will affect the mother-child relationship? More precisely, will the fact of a mother having been a victim of marital violence generate more stress for her? Will mother-child attachment and perceived social support constitute resources which will reduce maternal stress and consequently contribute to the positive development of the child? Are there any differences when the mother and child have left their home compared to those who are still living home? Finally, what is the role of the culture in this different system? The sample is composed of 38 children, 10 boys and 28 girls, aged from 5 to 6 years and their mother, all originating from an African country. Among these mother-child dyads, 19 were exposed to marital violence and were living in CHRS, 19 remained in a situation of violence. The mothers filled out a series of questionnaires in order to evaluate their attachment, maternal stress, violence suffered and their perceived social support. Concerning the socio-emotional development of the young child, three indicators were considered: two emanating from the child’s point of view; attachment representation, by means of the protocol of “Stories to be supplemented” (Bretherton & Al, 1990), the perception of parental feelings and behaviors by means of tracking parental violence (Palacio-Quintin, 1999), and socio-emotional adaptation, studied via “Socio-Emotional Profile” (Dumas & Al, 1998) supplemented by an activity leader. Principal results indicate that only 36.8% of children of the sample present a manifestation of secure attachment. The manifestions of attachment of children still living in a situation of violence appear more insecure than those of the children who were removed from violence. Our results show that the context of marital violence also affects the socio-emotional adaptation of the child. In addition, 73.3% of mothers in our sample manifest attachment avoidance. We have raised the issue, elsewhere, that expressions of social support and support relating to children as perceived by mothers, whatever their situation are relatively low. Lastly, mothers remaining in a situation of marital violence are less stressed than mothers who have left home

Full textBullying is a phenomenon that has not been much studied in France until now. This concept can be defined as a whole of negative a ctions physical, verbal or relational), repeated and lasting in time, coming from one (or several) student(a) and directed toward one (orther students). Five studies based on transversal, longitudinal or crossed methodologies let us observe this phenomenon, through its sociopsychological and clinical aspects. Results show that the identity, the efficiency of coping strategies and the physical health of students involved in bullying tends to decrease. However, the expiession of these dimensions varies if the student is a victim, a bully, or a bully-victim. Thus, victims and bully-victims tend to be more directly concemed by those problems than bullies are. Moreover, in the worst cases, bullying seems to generate post-traumatic stress disorders bundled with identity troubles and shattered fundamental assumptions which the student have about himself and the external world. Additionally, students involved in bullying seem to show elements of narcissistic and sexual identifications troubles as well as inadequat educational practices. Ln the case of bullies and bully-victim, we can more pecifically observe a deficient mentalization. Based on those different results, we suggest several applied perspectives in terms of prevention and therapeutic handling

Full textThe school violence phenomenon, by the several attempts of explanations it generates and by its mediatization, represents a stake for the social groups concerned. It also influences the practices and perceptions. For more than 30 years, the teachers have constituted a population described as concerned by occupational stress. However no modeling of teacher stress integrated the question of school violence. By connecting three fields of research - aggression, stress and social representations -, we conducted three empirical researches intended to advance knowledge on the consequences of violence at the school on the teachers, social actors concerned daily by this problem: a content analysis of press articles and scientific research summaries, a questionnaire survey on 122 teachers (with a French adaptation of the questionnaire of representation of the aggression (Expagg) and the Maslash Burnout Inventory (MBI)) then, another survey on a more consequent sample of 386 training teachers using a more complete set of questionnaires relating to the stress and the representations of the aggression analyzed by paths analysis. The results show strong similarities between the lay speech relating to school violence and the scientific speech relating to the aggression, proof of the social construction of reality. They also show a direct influence of the social representation of violence on teachers health. These results open new prospects for modeling stress in the populations confronted with problems of violence at work

Full textSince the 11 February 2005 legislative act, disabled children are to be educated in normal schools. Teachers need to adjust to their needs. But academic studies show that autist children's behaviour can be stressful for teachers. In this study, we assumed that autistic children's teachers' perceived stress is mostly linked to aversion. We also assumed that coping strategies' functionality is correlated to self efficacy belief. Additionally, we assumed that autistic children's parents perceive aversion-linked stress due to teachers' distress. To answer these questions, we assessed participants with the ale scale, the brief cope and a clinical interview. For teachers we added the self efficacy test. Our results show that teachers perceive setting academic goals for autistic children as an educational challenge, even if they doubt their ability to help them. Mirroring this feeling, autistic children's parents feel stress linked to teachers' self doubt. However highly functional coping strategies used by parents and teachers alike show that they can write a new chapter in autistic children's education

Full textUsing the 2x2 achievement goal framework (Elliot & McGregor, 2001), our objective was to validate a model that includes personality, program of study, achievement goals and contingent self-esteem in order to explain why some students are more likely to experience shame, guilt, and anxiety during their college education. A total of 172 psychology, education and social work undergraduates participated in this study. Results from path analysis partially supported our hypotheses. More precisely, results show that students whose self-esteem is contingent on their academic performances are more at risk to experience feelings of guilt, shame and anxiety during their studies. Furthermore, ours results suggest that the program of study can be a predictor of student’s achievement goals. Compared to students in education and social work, psychology undergraduates were more likely to have performance-approach goals. In turn, these performance-approach goals exerted a positive predictive influence on contingent self-esteem. Results are discussed in light of the 2 x 2 achievement goal framework and the contingent self-esteem literature.

Full textIn this thesis, the objective is to understand the relationships between academic success (academic performance) and subjective perceived stress on the one hand, and the influence of individual differences (emotional intelligence, personality traits and chrono-type) on academic success on the other hand, as well as the interactions between these individual differences and subjective perceived stress. 1) Preliminary study is conducted to clarify the relationship between emotional intelligence and coping strategy among Chinese students expatriated in France; 2) our first study aims to understand the different elements related to the expatriation of Chinese students in France: the causes and criteria of subjective expatriation success, the different sources of stress they encountered as well as their strategies to cope during their expatriation are interviewed; 3) With the elements emerging from our first study, we were able to construct a questionnaire on subjective expatriation success for Chinese students in France. The initial idea is to validate this questionnaire by comparing individual differences (emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, and chrono-type) with other parameters. Unfortunately, the completion of all these questionnaires took a long time, which explains why few participants completed them, which does not allow us to validate this questionnaire of expatriation success. 4) Finally, we try to understand the relationship between academic success and individual differences among the general population, i.e. French students

Full textIn view of our feedback from the students and the various surveys on violence in the school environment, we observe a worrying number of PSE teachers in college complaining about the stress generated by the school environment, and who therefore , impacts their health and the pleasure of teaching in a sometimes deleterious class atmosphere. Most of them use coping, consciously or not, to carry out their learning while trying to preserve their physical and mental integrity. Thus, from this stress generated by the conflicts arising from the interaction between the environment and the responses to deviations, we sought to know how the teachers develop and implement their coping strategies for the circumstance through of pedagogical attitudes and methods in order to best ensure their teaching. This is why our research question was stated as follows: "How each PSE teacher in college chooses and implements his coping strategies, defense mechanisms or any other adaptation process to alleviate the stress caused by student violence in order to induce them to join a dynamic of personal or collective work in situ without wrongdoing and without jeopardizing their physical and psychological integrity? " After the central question, two hypotheses were retained. First of all, there is only one alternative: either the teacher develops suitable coping strategies to modify the problem that is causing the stress, or either he reacts by involuntary mental mechanisms. For the second hypothesis, the effectiveness of a coping strategy depends on its role as moderator of the stress-distress relationship and can thus preserve health. Concerning the methodological part, our field of analysis was based on five approaches. First, the qualitative to obtain a detailed description of events aimed at understanding the personal experiences of teachers. Then, the inductive to sit our hypotheses and discover unknown data or ignored problems as in the incidence of contingency. Then, the deductive in order to open our reflections on the generalization and the explanation of the facts in order to anticipate the experience. After that, the hypothetico-deductive approach to clarify the formulation of the central question and the planning of the different stages of the research. And finally, the understanding to characterize our posture, since we have highlighted the explanatory approach to justify the construction work specific to understanding as we envisaged and carried out by following a back and forth movement, in the sense that it involves both inductive and deductive procedures. Concerning the answers to the sub-questions asked, the hypothesis (H1) put forward was totally weakened and could not be validated, because a teacher can simultaneously use the coping methods centered on the problem with a degree of denial of the difficulty of the task, and use projection to face it. As for hypothesis (H2), it is validated, because it is based on Laborit's theory by considering that the effectiveness of a coping strategy whatever it is, depends on its role of temperance of the relation stress-distress. To answer the central question based on the hypotheses put forward, we suggest that when a teacher is in an aversive situation assessed as threatening or exceeding his resources, he takes into account two parameters to act and to preserve himself : his personal characteristics, namely its resources like its skills, experience, etc., and the characteristics of the situation encountered, that is to say the environmental and situational determinants from the various assessments implemented to choose and develop coping strategies

Full textThe research concerned the perceptions of teachers' school learnings of the Agricultural education, in the report in their activity. We had made the hypothesis which the teachers produce, reproduce even reactivate their perceptions of the school learnings, whatever are components, every time in the exercise of their job, it is about these learnings, even that they associate them with a well-being, an ill-being in their work. To seize what could be the link between these learnings and their activity, we left several theories which could fit, or add up between what contributes to the training of the perceptions of the school learnings of the teacher and to their expression in its professional environment.There is production or reproduction of school learnings when the teacher mobilizes the habit (domestic legacy), when he puts in abyss (effect of mirror) his school training in the situations of transmission, when he stages the influences of his environment (family, school, social) acting during his school training. Finally when the more or less noxious working conditions catalyse recollections of school learnings.The results of our study showed that according to the context, the professional situations met, the teacher makes up, either negotiates or confronts his perceptions of the school learnings. However every teacher remains singular in his perceptions of the school learnings and in the forms of links which can take place ( social, logical conducts) with his activity

Full textThe aim of this project was to examine the role of substance abuse, specifically alcohol and cannabis, as a moderator of the link between a recent exposure to stress or chronic difficulties and school dropout. Based on theoretical models and empirical studies, we expected that recent exposure to short-term or chronic stressors and problematic cannabis use would be significantly and independently linked to school dropout in an additive way. We also expected a moderating effect of cannabis use on the link between stress and school dropout, multiplying the dropout risks among students exposed to both problems simultaneously. These hypotheses were tested among a sample of adolescents (N = 545) ages 14 -18 years of age (M = 16.5; SD = 9) recruited from 12 schools in and around Montreal, Canada. Also, control variables capturing potentially confounding factors (e.g., parental education) were integrated in multiple logistic regression models. Results showed that problematic cannabis use (RC = 1.46; IC 95% = 1.18-1.79) as well as the exposure to at least one recent stressful event (RC = 1.82; IC 95% = 1.91-2.78) or to at least two chronic difficulties (RC= 2.49; IC 95% = 1.44-4.29) were linked to high school dropout. However, problematic alcohol use was not significantly associated with high school dropout nor did the result show any moderating or interaction effect between the independent variables of interest. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.

Full textAn optimal student-teacher relationship (STR) is generally recognized as being closer and less conflictual. In the scientific documentation, many studies show that the quality of the STR is significantly associated with several indicators of school performance. More precisely, the results of these investigations demonstrate that the more a student share an optimal relationship with his teacher, the higher are his results at tests and exams, the more he adopts prosocial behaviors, and the more he presents positive affects and behaviors towards school and learning. Many studies also show that the influence of the quality of the STR is more important for students at-risk. However, even if the positive effects of an optimal STR on school performance are known, the knowledge about the factors that facilitate its emergence is still very limited. Although some predictors related to personal attributes of students or teachers have been highlighted, few studies have investigated the importance of psychological and contextual predictors of this phenomena. In an attempt to alleviate this deficiency, this research pursues three objectives that are : 1) to verify the relationship between stressors, social support, psychological health at work (PHW) and the quality of the STR; 2) to examine the moderating effect of PHW in the relationship between stressors, social support and the quality of the STR, and; 3) to verify the differences highlighted in the results for regular and at-risk students. In order to verify these three objectives, 231 teachers from the province of Quebec teaching in kindergarten and elementary school have been studied. The results from the analyses show that the disruptive behaviors of students in class predict positively the conflict between teachers and students at-risk. The results also show that social support from parents is positivelly related to closeness for regular students, whereas social support from the director is positivelly related to closeness for students at-risk. Teacher’s PHW also predicts positively closeness and negatively conflict for both regular and at-risk students. The results of the analyses also demonstrate that social support is indirectly related to closeness for regular and at-risk students, through PHW.

Full textAbstract The present doctoral thesis aims at determining under which conditions child-care experiences may be associated (positively or negatively) with children’s stress levels and cognitive development. It comprises one literature review and three empirical studies. The first study is a literature review (meta-analysis type) which summarizes the studies on child-care experiences and children’s stress (as indexed by cortisol) in order to identify individual and environmental conditions under which child-care is associated with elevated cortisol concentrations. Findings suggest that child-care may be more stressful, as reflected in higher salivary cortisol concentrations, for children who are less socially competent or who received low quality child-care services. However, some pieces of evidence suggest that cortisol elevations in child-care are transient and fade out as children grow older The second study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth [NLSCY]; (n=3093). The goal is to determine whether the association between non-maternal care and receptive vocabulary skills depend upon children’s home environment. Results show that children from low socioeconomic status who received full-time (< 25 hours/week) child-care services in their first year of life obtain higher scores on a measure of receptive vocabulary at 4 ½ years than those who were cared for by their mothers (d=0.58). The goal of the third study is to document further the longer-term benefits of early child-care attendance on disadvantaged children’s school readiness and school achievement. This study uses data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development [QLSCD]; (n=2120). Findings reveal that child-care services produce benefits over maternal care for children from low educated mothers on a measure of receptive vocabulary (d=0.30) and cognitive school readiness (d=0.56) in kindergarten, and number knowledge in first grade (d=0.43). Overall, child-care services produce no advantage or disadvantage for children who do not experience risks in their home. The objective of the fourth study is to identify key family factors associated with low child-care services utilization, using the QLSCD sample. Results show that maternal unemployment during pregnancy, low levels of maternal education; insufficient household income, having more than two siblings, high levels of maternal overprotection, and low levels of cognitive stimulation are associated with lower child-care services use (30.7% of the Quebec sample). In sum, children who are the most likely to benefit from child-care services in terms of their development are also those who are less likely to receive it.
