The aim of this study was to examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the French version of the Spontaneous Use of Imagery Scale (SUIS-F), a self-report 12-item questionnaire evaluating the propensity to engage in mental imagery in daily life. Although the SUIS-F is already available and currently used, its psychometric properties have not yet been documented, and this study was designed to address this gap. The questionnaire was adapted for an online administration. The script for its implementation and scoring is available upon request. Two samples of French participants completed the SUIS-F, two additional tests of mental imagery vividness (i.e., VVIQ, PSIQ-F) and a vocabulary test (i.e., Lextale-FR). Test-retest reliability was evaluated after one month. Sample 1 (n = 545) was used to explore the factorial structure, revealing a two-factor six-item structure with a low to acceptable internal consistency and a satisfactory construct validity. This structure was confirmed in Sample 2 (n = 129). The SUIS-F scores were described according to age, gender and level of education for both samples. Recommendations are made to improve the use of the French version of the SUIS.

Since the 1960s, women have assumed a significant presence in the salaried labor market, even in traditionally masculine sectors. However, the private and reproductive sphere still appears to be primarily associated with women's responsibilities. Given that the question of work-life balance is a key factor in quality of work life, work/non-work conflicts have the potential to impact the latter. Thus, the work/life balance can be a barrier to the feminization of some sectors predominantly represented by men.
Objective
This research aimed to identify the conditions for the feminization of a traditionally masculine sales force, with the goal of achieving a form of feminization that does not rely solely on increasing the number of women, but that also takes into account the gendered contexts of both paid and unpaid labor. The analysis therefore focused on the articulation of gendered life domains to identify obstacles and levers for such a transformation.
Methods
Twenty-six individual semi-directive interviews were conducted with women and men from a traditionally masculine sales force: that of the manufacturing and automotive industry.
Results
Thematic analysis revealed social realities that presented work-life balance as a source of work/life conflict and/or work/life harmony. When the men in our sample are part of a heterosexual couple, the division of paid and unpaid work is based on a heteronormative model that aligns with traditional gender roles.
Conclusions
These findings are discussed while considering the research implications and the issues that must be considered for the feminization of the sector.

Objectives
This study examined the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in the relationship between fearful attachment and psychological well-being.
Material and methods
The sample consisted of 384 Turkish participants aged 18 years and older. Data were collected using the Adult Attachment Styles Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Early Maladaptive Schemas Scale. Quantitative analysis techniques, including Pearson correlation and mediation, were employed to analyze the data.
Results
Results revealed a positive relationship between fearful attachment and early maladaptive schemas, as well as a negative relationship between fearful attachment and psychological well-being. Additionally, psychological well-being was found to be negatively correlated with both fearful attachment and early maladaptive schemas. Furthermore, disconnection/rejection, impaired autonomy, and other-directedness were identified as mediators in the relationship between fearful attachment and psychological well-being.
Conclusion
This study highlights the crucial role of early maladaptive schemas in the relationship between fearful attachment and psychological well-being. It is suggested that intervention programs targeting the modification of fearful attachment and early maladaptive schemas can have positive effects on psychological well-being.

Introduction
The pre-identification journey of giftedness is scarcely documented in the scientific literature and has mainly been studied by psychologists. While parents play a key role in this process, their perspective remains largely unexplored through a qualitative approach.
Objective
This study aims to identify different trajectories in the pre-identification journey of giftedness by adopting a retrospective, qualitative, comprehensive and exploratory approach. It examines the issues surrounding the origin of identification, its temporality, the actors involved, parents’ expectations and their experiences.
Method
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 parents who have at least one child identified as gifted.
Results
Thematic analysis reveals that identification is generally initiated by the detection of psycho-emotional, social or academic difficulties, rather than the recognition of intellectual abilities. Various actors are involved in this process: teachers, healthcare professionals, associations and family and friends. The temporality of the process is relatively short, but varies according to the presence of a family history of giftedness. Parents primarily seek a better understanding of their child's functioning and the legitimization of their needs. Identification may also reveal family and identity issues.
Conclusion
The pre-identification journey is a multidimensional process influenced by individual, social and institutional factors. Improved information and a more nuanced approach of giftedness are necessary to overcome stereotypes and provide appropriate support for children and their families.

Objectives
Stress and coping in sport psychology have mainly been examined from an intrapersonal perspective, which limits our knowledge of how athletes collectively cope with sport-related demands as a team. The present research, therefore, addresses the lack of knowledge about how communal coping happens within sports teams. The aims were firstly to explore the extent to which communal coping strategies are shared within sports teams and secondly to provide further evidence of communal coping as a team construct.
Material and methods
A total of 356 French team sport athletes from 54 teams completed an online questionnaire measuring individual coping, communal coping and cohesion.
Results
Firstly, results of intraclass correlation coefficients showed that some communal coping strategies were strongly shared (i.e., motivational support, emotion-venting strategies), whereas some were weakly shared (i.e., compensation, humour strategies). Secondly, results of correlation and regression analyses showed associations between communal coping and task cohesion indicating a meaningful relationship between both team constructs.
Conclusion
The present study, therefore, adds validity to the communal coping as a team construct, and advances knowledge on communal coping within sports teams, suggesting a move should be made from “coping in a team” toward “coping of a team” as an approach in future research and coping intervention programmes among sports teams or groups.

While it is accepted that the transition from work to retirement involves a major adjustment for individuals, the experience varies greatly from one person to another. The aim of this research is to explore the subjective experience of this transition qualitatively, by exploring the individual meanings associated with it and the mechanisms by which meaning is constructed.
Method
Eight interviews, based on interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), were conducted with French new retirees.
Results
The results suggest that the meaning that links things and the past, present and future offers a relevant key to understanding the transition to retirement, not as an isolated event but as an experience embedded in a personal and professional trajectory, within a given society.
Conclusion
The cross-sectional analysis of the eight cases enabled us to identify three main interrelated levels of meaning: the meaning of retirement, the meaning attributed to the transition experience and the meaning of life in retirement, linked to sources of meaning. The meaning, or rather meanings of retirement appear to be closely associated, on the one hand, with the relationship to work and the last job held and, on the other, and more implicitly, with the relationship to age and ageing. This study has also enabled us to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in adapting to retirement, and to envisage extensions to better understand the links between the construction of meaning, well-being and transition. It opens up a number of possible applications, including support for people affected by this transition.

Introduction
Many students experience problematic levels of stress that affect their well-being, health and academic performance. Several studies suggest that developing mindfulness could be one answer to this problem. However, developing the practice of mindfulness at university is not easy.
Objective
The aim of this study was to assess students’ attitudes towards a mindfulness practice designed to reduce the barriers identified in the literature. Specifically, it involved 4-minute periods of focused attention on breathing at the beginning of lectures, once a week for one semester.
Method
At the end of the course cycle, a 17-item questionnaire was sent to all students concerned (n = 725). The aim was to assess the extent to which the participants had enjoyed the practice and had benefited themselves and/or the group. Of the completed questionnaires, 271 could be analyzed.
Results
Most students participated regularly in the exercise and developed a positive attitude towards this practice. The data suggest that 4 minutes of practice is sufficient to generate positive feelings, both intra-individually, such as feeling calmer, and inter-individually, such as feelings an improvement in the general atmosphere of the class.
Conclusion
A short period of focused attention seems to be enough to make a difference. It is therefore a good first step towards introducing mindfulness at university.

This article proposes a theoretical-clinical reflection based on our hospital practice by examining the unique position of the psychologist in the Togolese socio-cultural context where the psychic suffering of the subject and his family is received. In this context, the specific clinical features are marked by the involvement of the family in the hospital treatment and their participation in the cultural elaboration of the spiritual aetiology of the disorder. After analysing the epistemological heritage of the discipline in Togo and the cultural factors associated with it, we refocus our study on the analysis of the spiritual aetiology using psychodynamic theoretical models that allow us to think about the complex entanglements between psyche and culture, and between subjectivity and family reality. Our study shows how “singular-plural” spiritual aetiologies, when recognised and integrated into the clinic, enable us to grasp the individual and collective meaning of the symptom. To do this, we use a clinical case to study how spiritual aetiologies are reorganised in family discourse and inscribed in different spaces of reality: intrapsychic, interpsychic and transpsychic.

Context
Some youths facing a relative's illness may be required to provide regular and significant support to their relative. While research has been conducted on youths, few studies have focused on the parents' perspective.
Objective
The aim of this study was to explore parents' perceptions of the support provided by their middle school-aged child, as well as their needs, within a family context of illness or disability.
Method
Ten mothers of adolescents aged 12 to 14 participated in a semi-structured interview addressing the presence of illness or disability within the household, the support provided by the adolescent, and the associated needs. An inductive thematic analysis was performed.
Results
Parents report that their child provide different types of support. The most frequently mentioned form of support is emotional support. Some parents mention "discreet help" from their child, who self-regulates their behavior to avoid causing additional problems. Help with household chores and personal care is also sometimes reported. Some parents believe that helping contributes to the development of skills, while others argue that this is not the child's role and try to protect them by not assigning too many tasks. Finally, parents mention several needs for their child related to the support and illness context, including the need to talk, access psychological support, and receive help from other adults, notably at school.
Conclusion
Parents primarily emphasize the emotional support provided by their child in a family context of illness or disability. Future studies are needed to better understand this type of support and what it entails. The needs mentioned highlight the importance of providing psychological support and involving school professionals.

Although sport is often presented as essential for health, it can also lead to intense stressful experiences that are harmful to mental health. For example, serious injuries, falls from skis or bicycles at over 100 km/h, or loss of tricks in acrobatic sports can not only trigger, but also reflect, numerous traumas in athletes. Few studies have really assessed the psychological impact of these severe stress situations on athletes, or the means of treating them. Coaches and mental trainers are well aware of the “blockages” that appear in athletes after experiencing such stressful events, but are often left without concrete solutions. Because these blocks have been identified as symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Adjustment Disorder (AD), knowledge of psycho-traumatology can provide solutions to free athletes. The aim of this article is to present (a) theoretical principles, (b) practical recommendations and (c) the wide range of situations that preside over the use of EMDR to treat blockages in sport.
