Congratulations Yangchen! 👏

We are very proud to announce that Yangchen is the recipient of the Antje-Bettin Intercultural Fund Scholarship. ✉️✨

This distinction recognizes her concrete commitment to intercultural rapprochement as well as the excellence of her academic career.

Yangchen has been actively involved in UQAM’s Student Refugee Program for the past year and a half. She currently holds the position of co-vice president and will assume the presidency starting with the Fall 2025 session.

Bravo to Yangchen for this wonderful recognition and her inspiring commitment!

The entire LÉPSIS team would like to highlight an important milestone in Catherine’s career: a successful thesis defense!
She is now a Doctor of Psychology (PhD) – congratulations 🎉🎉🎉.
And that’s not all! Catherine has already started her post-doctorate at Université Laval.
We wish you all the best in this new adventure and thank you for all the wonderful years spent at LÉPSIS ☺️.

Congratulations to Olivier Gaudet on his new article from his doctoral thesis, written in collaboration with Marie-Hélène Véronneau, Johanne Saint-Charles and Cécile Mathys.

The article, published in the Revue de Psychoéducation, looks at unstable self-esteem in early adolescence, and the influence of their role in a clique on this. The study focused on popular and unpopular cliques, in which young people occupy a central or peripheral position.

The results of the study revealed that being a peripheral member of a popular group could be a protective factor for self-esteem.

Conversely, being a peripheral member in an unpopular group would be a risk factor for self-esteem.

LÉPSIS shines again in the newsletter of the Réseau d’information pour la réussite éducative (RIRE)!

This time, it features an article by Shanyce Alyssa Joseph and Marie-Hélène Véronneau: “Student success in vocational training and its links to emotional competence”.

A nice mention of Laetitia Gendron’s article in the Réseau d’information pour la réussite éducative (RIRE) newsletter. 

We are pleased to present the article “Emotional competence and help-seeking intentions as predictors of educational success in vocational training students”, published in the Journal of Adult and Continuing Education #JACE. This article is part of the “Emotional competence in vocational training” project.

Marie-Hélène Véronneau, along with several collaborators from the universities of Rimouski, Concordia and UQÀM, focused on interpersonal emotional competence as a factor contributing to educational success.

What does the study reveal?

• Emotional competence at the beginning of the course is associated with greater educational success, as reported by the student at the end of his or her vocational training studies.
• Emotional competence is also associated with intentions to ask for help, which do not translate into better educational success. The link between emotional competence and educational success remains a rich field for future study!

We are extremely proud to announce the appointment of Catherine Cimon-Paquet to the new Board of Directors of the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ), as an independent member. Recognized for her commitment and strong communications skills, Catherine was appointed by the Council of Ministers on July 17. We offer her our warmest congratulations!

On 98.5’s Parlons-Nous, Marie-Hélène Véronneau spoke with Valérie Lebeuf about the importance of the relationship between student and teacher. Following the theme of the episode, “Have you met a teacher who has marked your school career? Indeed, this study suggests that when the relationship between student and teacher is perceived as positive in the school climate, this reduces the risk of the student finding himself in a situation of amotivation. 

*Reminder: amotivation in the school environment refers to the fact that a student doesn’t really see the point of going to school, and feels disengaged from it.

We are delighted to announce the many achievements of LÉPSIS members at the Life History Research Society 2024 conference!

Congratulations to Marie-Hélène Véronneau for her Symposium entitled: “Resilience at the transition to adulthood: The role of personal, interpersonal, and social factors”, as well as to the other participants.

Congratulations to Laetitia Gendron and Shaneha Patel, who presented results from the “Nontraditional Paths” and “Nontrad-Cortisol” projects. Laetitia talked about a new measure developed by the LÉPSIS team, designed to measure satisfaction with the educational pathway among emerging and established adults. She tested the usefulness of this instrument, and the results of the study showed that this measure is complementary to traditional measures of educational attainment in predicting adjustment to adulthood. Shaneha focused on the interaction effects between hair cortisol levels and social withdrawal in childhood, as well as with income in adulthood, to predict distress in adulthood.

Congratulations to Catherine Cimon-Paquet for her presentation on the new school career satisfaction scale (ÉSPS)!

LÉPSIS members had an enriching experience at the SQRP (Quebec Society for Psychological Research) congress!

A huge bravo to Éliane Proulx for her 1st scientific poster at a convention, exploring the themes of friendships and social networks. Congratulations to Yovanna Chacon Valdez for her presentation on the results of her thesis on school pressure and expectations among parents and teenagers. Finally, we’d like to highlight the quality of Shanyce Alyssa Joseph’s study of vocational students’ requests for help.

It is with great pride that we announce Eva Lefebvre as the 2024 recipient of the SQRP (Société Québécoise pour la Recherche en Psychologie) TQMP Award! She won the prize along with Olivier Vivier, PhD student in psychology at UQÀM and Pier-Olivier Caron, Professor at TÉLUQ University. The journal The Quantitative Methods for Psychology, in collaboration with the SQRP, awards this prize to highlight the excellence of research carried out by students in the field of quantitative methods.

In their study, these researchers focused on longitudinal mediation analyses. They point out the risks of statistical bias that can arise if temporality is not properly integrated, and advocate more robust methodologies such as latent growth curves and multilevel models, particularly when data are collected repeatedly over time.

Congratulations again to the three winners!

Another great LÉPSIS appearance at the 91st Acfas congress!

As part of her involvement with the Student intersectoral committee of the Fonds de recherche du Québec, Catherine Cimon-Paquet addressed a number of open access issues facing the next generation of scientists. In particular, she discussed the challenges associated with the pressure to publish in prestigious (high-impact factor) journals, and the standards specific to each field of research.

In addition, she presented the results of her third thesis paper, entitled « Understanding the role of parents in academic success from adolescence to adulthood: a developmental cascade », at the « Positive youth development in school settings » symposium.

Congratulations to Camille and Shanyce for their presentation on seeking help from parents of vocational training students! They presented at the 91st Acfas congress, as part of the « Learning paths for students in vocational training » symposium, organized by CÉRTA (Center for studies and research on transitions and learning).

We would like to highlight another milestone in the career of Camille Jutras Dupont, who will be continuing her career at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi as a regular professor! We wish her every success in her new role at UQAC.

Here’s a little insight into Camille’s project, which highlights the importance of academic motivation in non-traditional training programs.

Congratulations on this significant contribution to the field of education!

Catherine Cimon-Paquet was invited to take part in an interview on Radio-Canada’s Place Publique. At the heart of this discussion was a delicate but crucial subject: how to approach alcohol consumption with young people, and more importantly, how to set appropriate limits. The reality is that talking about alcohol consumption with young people can be a complex and sometimes intimidating task for parents. Despite the legal drinking age of 18, over 80% of young people have already experimented with alcohol before the age of 17. What to say and what to do?

A well-deserved end of session for LÉPSIS! After diving into research and hard work, what better way to recharge our batteries than with a little laser tag competition? (and discover unsuspected talent among our members!)

It was the perfect opportunity to celebrate our hard work and strengthen our team bonds. Thank you to all the students and research assistants for your efforts!

Congratulations to Catherine Cimon-Paquet on the publication of her article in The Conversation!

The article highlights an essential approach to reducing alcohol consumption among young people: rather than focusing solely on day-to-day discussions, it’s more effective to rely on clear parental rules. By combining these rules with a democratic parenting style, parents have the opportunity to explain the reasons behind their refusal to let their child drink underage and foster a deep understanding of the issues surrounding alcohol consumption.

Congratulations again on this outstanding achievement!

We’re pleased to present an article on the new digital resource from CCDMD (Centre collégial de développement de matériel didactique): the “Adolescence: observer, décrire, interpréter” website. This website brings together several testimonials from teenagers and offers resources for understanding and teaching, focusing on the themes of identity quest, emotional regulation and attachment. These life stories offer a new perspective on theories related to the social-emotional development of adolescents.
