COVID-19 Canada: The End of the World as We Know It?
The project aims, in general, to study the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadians in order to respond in a way that optimizes the overall resilience of our society. Our goal is to understand the impact of public policies on biases (for example, towards people of Chinese origin), attitudes, emotions, and behaviors in a crisis context. We are also interested in the rhythms associated with the return to life after the pandemic. We have distributed a representative and pan-Canadian longitudinal questionnaire to a large sample at regular intervals since the beginning of the pandemic (N = 3617). This research project is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
Projet InterCom
A community intervention project aimed at promoting the well-being of the population and resilience in young individuals through workshops or conferences based on principles of social psychology and clinical psychology. These interventions are interactive and highlight scientific findings. The overall objective is to assist young people and their environments (educational and community) in better understanding the personal and social repercussions of social changes and equipping them for future social crises.
In collaboration with numerous partners, including the Tournée Édu4tive.
RQCP - Axis 1: Prevention and Confinement
Led by Roxane de la Sablonnière, Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Montreal;
Éric Lacourse, Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Montreal; and
Caroline Lebeau, Community Partner.
The overall objective of Axis 1: Prevention and Confinement of the RQCP is to mobilize the knowledge of researchers and the community to better intervene in real-time during a context of dramatic social change, such as a pandemic, aiming to promote sustainable health—whether it be physical, psychological, economic, or community-related.
StepMix
Éric Lacourse, in collaboration with Roxane de la Sablonnière and Zsuzsa Bakk, has initiated the development of a new package available on both R and Python software, named StepMix. The objective of StepMix is to democratize high-level statistical analyses by making them accessible through free software and emphasizing longitudinal and/or complex data.
CoRRS
The Research Consortium on Social Relationship (CoRRS) aims at creating, disseminating, valorizing, and applying scientific knowledge in the field of social relations to enhance the health, longevity, productivity, and quality of life of individuals and societies. CoRRS stands out for the quality of its theoretical frameworks, the rigor of its methodologies, and the advanced training it provides to various social actors.
JIRIRI 
The Journal on Identity, Interpersonal Relationships, and Intergroup Relations (JIRIRI) was founded in 2007 by Professor Roxane de la Sablonnière and is affiliated with the University of Montreal. JIRIRI is an international scientific journal published annually in April, disseminating both theoretical and empirical articles. Its mission is to provide undergraduate students with a unique opportunity to experience the peer review process. It also aims to promote the design and expression of new theoretical ideas in the fields of identity, interpersonal and intergroup relations—ideas that could serve as foundations for broader spectrum studies.
