L’idée que le sexisme puisse s’exprimer sous forme de bienveillance peut paraître surprenante. En effet, la représentation que nous avons habituellement d’une personne sexiste est celle d’un homme aux attitudes clairement hostiles à l’égard des femmes. Le but de cette revue de littérature est de mettre en évidence une forme plus subtile de sexisme, le sexisme bienveillant, qui renvoie à des attitudes sexistes subjectivement positives, teintées de galanterie et de condescendance. Plus précisément, ce travail insiste sur la nécessité de prendre en compte cette forme insidieuse de sexisme dans la compréhension des relations entre les genres et de la considérer comme un véritable processus de maintien des inégalités sociales entre les hommes et les femmes.

The prescriptive component of stereotypes is defined as a set of beliefs about the characteristics group members should possess. It has mainly been studied regarding gender stereotypes. We believe that the main function of this prescriptive component is to allow dominant group members to maintain subordinate group members in an advantageous position for themselves. To illustrate our proposal, we present several theoretical and empirical papers, showing that the relative status of social groups is a determinant of which characteristics are prescribed to the members of these groups; that subordinates who fail to conform to the prescription are sanctioned; and that dominants prescribe to subordinates characteristics they see as beneficial to their own group.

In this review, the author proposes a synthesis of the biosocial model of personality developed by Cloninger. This model is based on several neurobiological and clinical hypotheses. According to this model, the personality is described by 4 temperaments (novelty seeking, harm avoidance, reward dependence, and persistence) which are independently heritable and related to specific central neurotransmitters, and 3 characters (self-directedness, cooperativeness, and self-transcendence) that mature in adulthood. TCI (Temperament and Character Inventory) is a 226-item self questionnaire developed by Cloninger to assess the 7 dimensions of personality. The relationships between temperaments and neurotransmitters is particularly relevant in research and in clinical practice. From a clinical point of view, the model provides a foundation for integrating diagnosis and treatment planning, including both psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. This review discuss the advantages and the limitations of this model and proposes some future directions. [less ▲]

The main purpose of this critical overview of current knowledge in the field of the development of timing behavior in young children is to pave the way of future research. Traditional psycho-physiological methods have supplied coherent data on the estimation and perception of duration in children over age six. Only a few unsystematic studies have dealt with early temporal conditioning. To determine whether complex temporal regulations in the adult human are the result of a continuous process, deriving from elementary forms of temportal organization of activity, much more data are needed on infant adaptation to time, as well as on the role of language and capacities for inhibition in the evolution of temporal behavior. Furthermore, studies on the physiological bases of internal timing mechanisms and the ontogenesis of temporal regulation in young animals should help to assess the relative weight of early experience, maturation and cognitive development in the child.
