Although the perception of manipulation may explain certain consumer reactions, such as a negative attitude toward the retailer or decreased purchase intentions, no quantitative study has yet explored its relationship with resistance to the retailer, as well as satisfaction with the shopping experience. By adopting a multidimensional approach, this article determines the impacts of each of its dimensions (cognitive, behavioural, and affective) on these two variables. An online questionnaire was completed by 200 Quebec consumers. Structural equation modeling was conducted using EQS 6.4. The results confirm that the perception of manipulation is multidimensional and, in a retail setting, leads to different consumer reactions, with differentiated impacts depending on the dimensions. Specifically, the cognitive dimension tends to heighten attitudinal and behavioural resistance while reducing satisfaction, whereas the affective dimension reinforces behavioural resistance and diminishes satisfaction. Recommendations are provided to avoid such negative reactions.
Keywords: Perception of manipulation, Perception de manipulation, resistance towards the merchant, résistance envers le commerçant, satisfaction à l'égard de la visite, satisfaction with the visit, negative word-of-mouth, bouche-à-oreille négatif, comportement du consommateur, consumer behaviour

The Ferlo territory is increasingly "occupied", humanly, environmentally and institutionally. A mapping based on the perceptions of local stakeholders (ZADA in French, PBRM or Perception-Based Regional Mapping) was carried out to identify the factors that, from the point of view of these stakeholders, structure the spatial organization of this territory and its surroundings: uses, practices, localisms or any other factor identified. By GIS-merging together all the maps obtained, each corresponding to an interview, we obtain a spatialized database on the determinants structuring this territory. Although the structural, ecological and socio-historical elements remain and even tend towards the specialization of territories into production 'countries', the short 2-months period herds graze in the Ferlo and the generalized use of supplementation during the pastoral lean season suggests a reorientation of these herds towards the south. It induces areas of possible tension where the north-south axis of transhumance and the West-East axis of agricultural colonization intersect. This experimental method allows us to reflect on the role of environmental observatories and the Ferlo in particular.

This phenomenological qualitative research conducted among ten members of the teaching staff of the University of Quebec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue studied teaching practices used to support the success of indigenous students. It results from the thematic analysis of the participants’ discourse, collected through semi-structured interviews, that their pedagogical choices do not depend on the presence of indigenous students in the group. This study also shows that, in this context, participants adapt the content of their courses and adopt an attitude of listening, flexibility, openness and respect. This reflects individual efforts made to make university education more inclusive of indigenous students.

In line with a socio-critical approach to digital uses, which includes both the school and the extracurricular contexts in its analysis of student’s relationship to digital technologies, this article presents a review of the scientific literature on the transfer of learning regarding the three disciplinary skills of French as a first language induced by the extracurricular digital uses of adolescents. The data consisted of scientific documents obtained through a review of writings published between 2010 and 2018 and retrieved from databases and specialized journals. The results show that the transfer of learning is not a systematic process because when an adolescent uses a technology in the new context, they do not use the same skills as in the initial context.

This article documents the benefits and limitations of a self-training program on work-life balance intended for workers, employers, and labor union representatives. Results show less conflict and an improvement in work-life enrichment among workers. Results also show employers and labor union representatives became more aware of work-life balance issues within their organisation. Self-training programs on work-life balance constitute a useful human resources management tool to improve quality of life at work and gain a competitive edge. The limits of the self-training program experienced by workers, employers, and labor union representatives include lack of time and resources to a dequately complete the training.

Our digital society contributes to social participation of many citizens. However, people with intellectual disability (ID) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD) must interact with a common digital environment unsuited to their needs. This fact refers to the digital exclusion. Unfortunately, in the field of ID and ASD few models are available to guide practitioners and researchers in the implementation of these technologies. Our team has developed a model presenting and integrating the challenges associated with their use. The pyramid of digital accessibility clearly identifies the dimensions that promote digital inclusion of these populations.

Corpus linguistics generally relies on textual sources to analyse representative instances of language use, be it written or spoken. However, the fundamental role of nonverbal and multimodal resources has come to the fore as they contribute tremendously to meaning-making processes, in both direct and mediated communication. This is all the more relevant in Interpreting Studies, where transcripts of mediated interactions can only reveal a partial picture of the communicative exchange. That is why attempts have been made to include multimodal resources (for instance, extralinguistic information, video and audio recordings) in corpus projects such as the European Parliament Interpreting Corpus (EPIC), which set the basis for further interpreting corpora. This paper focuses on such developments and illustrates three more interpreting corpora, namely the Directionality in Simultaneous Interpreting (DIRSI) Corpus, the European Parliament Translation and Interpreting Corpus (EPTIC), and the Anglintrad Corpus and platform. These linguistic resources take advantage of multimodality to a different extent, offering textual and multimedia materials either separately or aligned to each other. All these examples are evidence of how important it is to maintain flexible formats and structures when developing an interpreting corpus, so that existing resources can be the springboard for further progress in the study of interpreting beyond the textual level.
