“…This phenomenon has been shown to matter for commitment because some identifications are more appropriate than others for maintaining the action, or for the emergence of new actions. For commitment to induce a significant change in behavior, preliminary behavior and target behavior should share the same level of action identification, see e.g., Joule and Beauvois (1998);Wegner, Vallacher, Macomber, Wood, and Arps (1984). Commitment binds the person to a behavioral act, but it must also belong to the same category of identification.…”

Oath-taking for senior executives has been promoted as a mean to enhance honesty within and towards organizations. Herein we explore whether people who voluntarily sign a solemn truth-telling oath are more committed to sincere behavior when offered the chance to lie. We design an experiment to test how the oath affects truth-telling in two contexts: a neutral context replicating the typical experiment in the literature, and a "loaded" context in which we remind subjects that "a lie is a lie." We consider four payoff configurations, with differential monetary incentives to lie, implemented as within-subjects treatment variables. The results are reinforced by robustness investigations in which each subject made only one lying decision. Our results show that the oath reduces lying, especially in the loaded environment-falsehoods are reduced by fifty percent. The oath, however, have a weaker effect on lying in the neutral environment. The oath did affect decision times in all instances: the average person takes significantly more time deciding whether to lie under oath.

“…The notion that behavior can be represented at different levels has been acknowledged by several models and theories dealing with the cognitive architecture and control of behavior (e.g., Aarts & Dijksterhuis, ; Gallistel, ; Jeannerod, ; Powers, ; Vallacher & Wegner, ). For instance, behavior representation levels play an important role in the understanding of behavior (Aarts & Hassin, ; Kozak, Marsh, & Wegner, ; Vallacher & Wegner, ; Wegner, Vallacher, Macomber, Wood, & Arps, ). Importantly, the level at which people represent their behavior has also been suggested to play an important role in the matching process underlying experiences of self‐agency (Pacherie, ).…”

People often find themselves in situations where the cause of events may be ambiguous. Surprisingly though, the experience of self-agency, i.e., perceiving oneself as the causal agent of behavioral outcomes, appears quite natural to most people. How then do these experiences arise? We discuss common models proposing that self-agency experiences result from the comparison between actual action-outcomes and the outcomes one explicitly set as a goal. However, recent developments in psychology and neuroscience suggest that our behaviors and the outcomes they produce can be primed and implicitly guided by environmental cues and yet are accompanied by experiences of self-agency. Hence, we also review research revealing how self-agency experiences may arise over behavioral outcomes that are implicitly primed before they occur and how such implicitly cued agency experiences may differ from agency experiences that are the result of explicitly set goals. Directions for future research are briefly addressed.

“…7-10) distingue des stratégies de parole destinées à se démarquer des adversaires et reposant sur une « logique symbolique », exaltant les valeurs, et sur une « logique pragmatique », affirmant la crédibilité. Nous sommes tentés de rapprocher ces « logiques » de la théorie psychosociale de l'identification de l'action (Wegner, Vallacher, Macomber, Wood & Arps, 1984). Cette théorie rend compte du fait que les gens peuvent identifier une même action à des niveaux variables, du plus concret au plus abstrait, du plus particulier au plus général.…”

Les périodes précédant une élection présidentielle sont propices au dévoilement des ambitions personnelles qui conduisent à des stratégies complexes pour apparaître comme une personnalité forte et distincte tout en représentant au mieux le parti dont on brigue l’investiture. Être à la fois soi et les autres implique d’adopter une posture crédible et attractive. L’analyse lexicométrique d’un ouvrage politique collectif intitulé Les 12 travaux de l’opposition : Nos projets pour redresser la France, publié par l’UMP (2014) permet de définir trois postures sociodiscursives, que nous appelons généraliste (être visionnaire), spécialiste (être compétent dans un domaine) et polémiste (être combatif à l’égard des adversaires). On analyse également les risques qu’il y a à trop investir une posture ou à se situer à leur intersection.
