Research lines
The LPC Lab (EA 4440) gathers togethers researchers in social, cognitive and developmental psychology, who all share the aim of experimentally studying human behaviors, while focusing on their underlying cognitive processes.
Axis 1: Vulnerabilities and risk behaviours
This axis is composed of 6 full members from three sub-disciplines (social psychology, clinical developmental psychology and clinical psychology of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies or CBT) as well as their PhD students.
Gathered around the unifying theme of vulnerabilities (of a cognitive, affective, temperamental or behavioural nature), the members of this axis have chosen to pool their skills in order to better understand their etiological mechanisms, risk or protective factors and the processes involved, as well as to develop research tools and means of caring for these vulnerabilities.
Axis 2: Language, cognitive, perceptual and social learning
This axis is composed of 8 full lab members from three sub-disciplines (cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and social psychology) and their doctoral students.
The members of this axis share a common interest in language and learning and can thus combine their methodological skills and theoretical knowledge to study the perceptual-cognitive processes involved in language, both oral and written, and its development and/or learning, and, in a reciprocal way, the way in which language practices reflect, or even modify, cognition, particularly social cognition, including the representations and attitudes of speakers.
Axis 3: Social judgment and inequalities
This axis is composed of 8 full lab members from two sub-disciplines (social psychology, clinical psychology with a CBT orientation) and their doctoral students.
Gathered around the theme of inequalities, the members of this axis aim to pool their skills in order to better understand the way in which inequalities develop and persist, by focusing in particular on social judgement. To this end, various projects are being developed, mainly rooted in social psychology, but aiming to integrate the insights of researchers in clinical psychology with a CBT orientation in order to broaden the spectrum of understanding of these inequalities and the possibilities of intervention to reduce them (by setting up compassionate therapy, for example).
