AbstractOur research focuses on the following questions: what is a disorder, a conflict? How do we define them and react to them? Our main hypothesis is based on the existence of an active justice model which regulates our social exchanges but is hidden by the dominant discourse of the penal justice: the “vindicatory” model. In this article, we shall more particularly discuss issues raised by the meeting between penal and vindicatory models, and describe how these two regulation models could mix. In that purpose, we shall focus on the regulation modes used by the Aboriginal peoples living in Quebec. We shall first describe how they define and handle the different forms of confusion which emerge in their communities. By doing this, we shall then try to identify the vindicatory aspects of their regulation practices and discuss how these models survived when confronted to the western legal and penal model.

SummaryThe profile of change within the North American tradition of empirical psychology which opened the way to the empirical study of the homosexual family is presented in this paper. Some suggestions as to the forces which seem to have facilitated these changes at the research level are mentioned. Then the scientific issues in research on families of sexual minorities are discussed. Finally, a specific clinical field of study, the study of conjugal relations, is introduced, to illustrate a) how studies comparing gay, lesbian and heterosexual couples have contributed to current models for explaining conjugal distress, and b) how they open the way to the formulation of general theories on conjugal adjustment.

AbstractAccording to his theory of styles of decision-making, Harren proposes that an individual's centre of decision-making, as well as his rank within the family nucleus, determines the decision style during career choice. The aim of this research is simply the empirical verification of this proposition. Although the research results confirm the validity of the statement, certain questions are raised regarding the interpretation of this proposition.

Educational technology is presented as a tool for rational intervention which directs the technologist and his intuition in research, development, adaptation, and application of satisfactory solutions to various problems encountered by practitioners. This concept is also presented within a frame of system dynamics which includes inputs, transformations and outputs of the process. Three levels of output are noted: the production and use of "minitheories", the reflection and reframing of problems, and the development of problem-solving stratagies.

AbstractIn this study, the authors investigate the relation between age and development of self-concept in children, and differences in self-concept as related to socio-cultural milieu. Fifty-two subjects, aged 5, 6, 7 and 8 years responsed to the McDaniel-Piers: Young Children's Self-Concept Scale (1973). The results show a positive increase in self-concept during the first three years and a decrease in the fourth year. These results support the importance of the role of educators in the education of young children.
