Social value orientation as a moral intuition: Decision-making in the dictator game

We studied the decision making process in the Dictator Game and showed that decisions are the result of a two-step process. In a first step, decision makers generate an automatic, intuitive proposal. Given sufficient motivation and cognitive resources, they adjust this in a second, more deliberated phase. In line with the social intuitionist model, we show that one s Social Value Orientation determines intuitive choice tendencies in the first step, and that this effect is mediated by the dictator s perceived interpersonal closeness with the receiver. Self-interested concerns subsequently leadto a reduction of donation size in step 2. Finally, we show that increasing interpersonal closeness can promote pro-social decision-making.

L'orientation scolaire et professionnelle au Québec: Quels enseignements pour la Suisse?

Lucille Bédard a fait un exposé sur l'orientation scolaire et professionnelle et le conseil en carrière québécois à l'Université de Lausanne.

La formation des conseillers et conseillères est en conséquence elle aussi plus étendue, et avec un cursus spécifique.
