The review of the existing frustration theories resulted on a model which allowed the evaluation of 'social perception' interference upon the reaction to frustration we examined three of the possible theoretic91 explanations to determine the differences of perception of the 'locus of control': the first one was examined in terms of the learning theory the second one, in terms of character organization and the third one in terms of temperament factors. We also presented a review of the experimental attempts and confirmations concerning the construct 'locus of control' and the reaction to' frustration. The empírical verification of the proposed model consisted of a pilot research to prove the relatlonship between the 'locus of control' variable and the ·tolerance to frustration (under certain aspects). Paralelly, we were able to examine the role of the variable - university education. We studied a group of university students and the results indicated that the interns presented a move mature level of tolerance to frustration. The students persistance in attaining goals and ability to initiative before frustrating sltuat1.ons revealed this higher level of maturity. Despite the 'locus of control', and concerning the University career education students resulted more intrapunitive than others. The analysis of the influence of the kind of frustrating situation, finally showed that the circunstances involving the 'threatening of the ego' led to an emotional discharge of the gul1ty type In detriment to initiative. In addition the extrapunitive reections were more moticiable during those situations in which the subject had its goals blockaded. / Este estudo visa analisar a interrelação teórica e epistemológica entre a teoria da aprendizagem social, mais precisamente em termos de seu constructo 'locus de controle' de Rotter e a teoria da frustração, tal como desenvolvida por S. Rosenzweig. Através de um reestudo das ·teorias da frustração e proposto um modelo, capaz de avaliar a influência da percepção social determinada pela direção do 'locus de controle' na reação à frustração. São examinadas três possíveis explicações teóricas para determinação das diferenças na percepção do controle a primeira em função da teoria da aprendizagem, a segunda em termos psicodinâmicos e a terceira em função de disposições inatas. E apresentada uma revisão das tentativas e comprovações experimentais quanto ao constructo 'locus de controle ' e à reação à frustração. A verificação empírica do modelo aqui proposto ' consistiu numa pesquisa piloto apta a comprovar, sob alguns aspectos, a relação entre a variável 'locus de controle' e a tolerância à frustração. Paralelamente foi possível examinar o papel da variável 'formação universitária'. Utilizou-se um grupo de estudante e universitários e os resultados ' indicaram que, sujeitos com 'locus interno' apresentam um nível mais amadurecido de tolerância à frustração por revelarem maior persistência .em seus objetivos e capacidade de iniciativa em situação frustrante. Quanto ao tipo de formação universitária. estudantes de pedagogia mostraram-se mais intrapunitivos que estudantes de outras áreas independentemente da direção do 'locus de controle'. Um exame da influência do tipo de situação frustradora permitiu concluir que 'circunstâncias que envolvem 'ameaça do eu' levam a uma descarga emocional do tipo culpa em detrimento da iniciativa e aquelas situações em que o sujeito e bloqueado em um objetivo ressaltam as reações extra punitivas.

Cette étude permet d’explorer les variations spectrales provoquées par deux types de changements temporels qui résultent respectivement de l’opposition de longueur vocalique (variations intrinsèques) et des variations du débit de parole (variations extrinsèques). Trois protocoles expérimentaux ont été conçus, deux en arabe jordanien et un en français, pour examiner ce phénomène. Un intérêt particulier a été porté aux occlusives produites dans des séquences CVC dans le but d’évaluer la coarticulation de la consonne en position initiale et finale. La durée des voyelles et la fréquence des trois premiers formants au début ou à la fin et au milieu de chaque séquence ont été mesurées dans chaque condition de longueur et de débit. Les équations de locus ont été utilisées afin de décrire la relation CV/VC quand elle subit ces deux types de variations. Selon les résultats, la qualité de la voyelle et de la consonne est influencée par l’opposition de durée et par le débit de parole de manière distincte. Le changement généré par les variations temporelles est évalué à l’aide des équations de locus et à travers des analyses de dispersion. Ces outils révèlent qu’il existe un chevauchement coarticulatoire plus important quand la durée de la voyelle est réduite, peu importe l’origine des variations temporelles dans les deux langues (intrinsèque et extrinsèque). Par contre, les variations temporelles impactent la classification des occlusives de manière distincte selon leur origine. / The aim of this study is to examine the different spectral variations that are impacted by two types of temporal modifications: phonological vowel length contrast (intrinsic variations) and varying speaking rates (extrinsic variations). Three experiments, two on Jordanian Arabic and one on French, were conducted to investigate this phenomenon. We were interested in stop consonants produced in the initial and the final positions in CVC sequences. Vowel duration and the frequency of the first three formants were measured for each vowel length and speaking rate. In addition, locus equations were computed to measure the impact of time variations on CV / VC coarticulation. According to the results, the vowel and consonant qualities are influenced both by vowel duration contrasts and by speaking rate modifications in different ways. Such modifications are evidenced by locus equations and by dispersion analyses as well. These two quantification tools revealed that there is greater coarticulatory overlap when the duration of the vowel is reduced, regardless of the origin of temporal variations in the two languages (intrinsic and extrinsic). On the other hand, temporal variations affect the classification of the stop consonant differently according to their origin.

L'autoincompatibilité (AI), généralement sous le contrôle d’un seul locus, le locus S, est la stratégie la plus répandue pour empêcher l'autofécondation chez les plantes hermaphrodites. Les déterminants de la réaction d’AI ont été identifiés dans quelques familles d’Angiospermes. Dans celle des Asteraceae, ces déterminants sont encore inconnus. La chicorée (Cichorium intybus L., Asteraceae) présente un système d’AI sporophytique. Afin d’identifier les déterminants de l’AI de cette espèce, une stratégie de clonage positionnel du locus S a été mise en place.Le locus S de la chicorée avait été cartographié à l'extrémité du groupe de liaison 2. Une carte haute densité a été obtenue à partir d’une approche BSA assistée par marqueurs : 5 marqueurs AFLP ont été identifiés, dont un coségrégeant avec le locus S. A partir d’une importante population (n = 2824), 2 cartes consensus haute résolution de la région du locus S ont été établies, l’une pour les méioses femelles (intervalle de 0,6 cM) et l’autre pour les méioses mâles (intervalle de 1,24 cM), en raison d’un phénomène d’hétérochiasmie.Deux banques BAC de chicorée ont été construites en collaboration avec le CNRGV. Elles ont permis d’initier et d’orienter la marche chromosomique vers le locus S. De plus, 6 clones BAC, soit 546 kb, ont été séquencés et analysés. Un rapport de 0,45 (méiose femelle) à 2 cM/Mb (méiose mâle) a été obtenu. La composition des séquences en éléments répétés et la fraction codante ont été étudiées (banques d’EST de Cichorium sp. et de peptides d’A.thaliana et de V.vinifera). Une relative conservation de la microsynténie a été observée entre ces gènes et leurs homologues chez 5 espèces Dicotylédones. / Generally under the control of one locus, the S-locus, self-incompatibility (SI) is one of the most important strategies to prevent selfing in hermaphrodite plants. Determinants involved in the SI reaction have been identified in some Angiosperm families. In the Asteraceae family, determinants of SI are still unknown. Chicory (Cichorium intybus L., Asteraceae) is a sporophytic SI species. To identify determinants of chicory SI, a positional cloning strategy has been implemented.The chicory S-locus has been assigned to one end of linkage group 2. A high density map have been obtained from a marker assisted BSA (Bulk Segregant Analysis) approach: 5 AFLP markers were obtained, including one co-segregating with the S-locus. From a large population (n = 2.824), 2 consensus high-resolution map of the S-locus region were produced. Due to a heterochiasmy phenomenon, the S-locus was positioned in an interval of 0,6 cM or 1,24 cM considering female or male meiosis, respectively.Two BAC libraries of chicory were produced in collaboration with the CNRGV. They allowed us to start chromosome walking and to turn it toward the S-locus. Moreover, 6 BAC clones, corresponding to 546 kb, were sequenced and analyzed. A ratio of 0,5 Mb/cM for male meiosis and 2,2~Mb/cM for female meiosis were obtained. Repeated element composition and coding part of the sequences were studied (libraries of Cichorium sp. EST and Arabidopsis thaliana and Vitis vinifera peptides). A certain degree of conservation of microsynteny was observed between these genes and their homologues in five Dicotyledon species.

This study investigated whether or not a relationship exists between stated attitudes toward genetically altering one's own children and scores on Rotter's Locus of Control Scale. Locus of control was determined by participant's score (low to high) on the locus of control scale, categorizing those who scored low as internal in regard to perceived control and those who scored high as external in regard to perceived control. Attitudes toward genetic alterations were determined by participant responses to 2 questions following 3 hypothetical scenarios in which participants were asked to rate their likelihoods to cure a genetic disease, enhance physical potential, or enhance intellectual potential in their unborn child through genetic manipulation. Participants were also asked to rate the likelihood of endorsing the procedure to a friend. I hypothesized that Internals, who believe situational outcomes are directly due to their own efforts and energies, are more likely to support gene manipulation in each hypothetical scenario than Externals, who believe that outcomes are due more to powerful outside forces, such as fate or luck. Results indicated that there was a main effect for locus of control and scenario responses. Internals were more likely on average for all scenarios to support the idea of genetically modifying their own children, for enhancement or curative reasons than externals were. Internals were also more likely on average for all scenarios to endorse the alteration to a friend in a similar situation than externals were.
