Bien qu’il ne semble pas y avoir de consensus en ce qui concerne le concept d’attitude envers l’argent, la plupart des chercheurs s’intéressant au sujet considèrent qu’il « s’agit d’un construit psychologique stable qui est caractérisé par les significations que l’individu attribue à l’argent et qui conduit à des types de comportements à son égard […]

L’Université de Moncton, seule université francophone du Nouveau-Brunswick, est située dans un milieu à forte majorité anglophone. L’état des connaissances sur les déterminants de la réussite universitaire chez cette population n’est que parcellaire et peu discriminant. Comme le souligne Landry (2014), les différents groupes populationnels du Nouveau-Brunswick constituent un microcosme du pays et sont en […]

Les entreprises investissent d’importantes sommes annuellement pour développer les compétences de leurs leaders au moyen d’activités comme le coaching exécutif. Si le coaching réalisé en face en face et le e-coaching (p. ex., utilisation de Skype) sont des pratiques très populaires, peu d’appuis scientifiques nous renseignent sur leur efficacité. La présente recherche vise d’abord à […]

Si les TIC ont permis à la formation de devenir plus accessible et favoriseraient l’engagement et la motivation, les faibles taux de réussite en formation à distance (FAD) posent problème. Les environnements numériques (EN) utilisés dans les formations en ligne enregistrent systématiquement les traces informatiques des activités des apprenants, qui peuvent être combinés avec des […]

The recent legalization of cannabis in Canada offers a unique opportunity to conduct fundamental research without the bureaucracy issues faced in other countries. The current state of cannabinoid-based therapies have focused their use in the treatment of cancer, pain, inflammation and opioid addiction, and suffer from unwanted side effects and lack of efficacy. Furthermore, the […]

Chronic anxiety is a growing psychological disorder worldwide and in Canada. Even when anxiety presents at pre-clinical levels, it can be disabling. Anti-anxiety drugs have many adverse side-effects. In some cases, listening to music decreases anxiety more effectively than anti-anxiety drugs. Binaural beats may also reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. This project will examine the […]

There’s nothing quite as delightful as using a well-designed product, especially a piece of software. A field of research known as User eXperience (UX) tries to define measures that describe what a good design feels like. While conventional measures of UX for software work well (how long things take, whether or not you complete your […]

Among all chronic diseases, mental health issues have the highest burden on health care systems. However, unlike other chronic diseases, like Diabetes or hypertension, no monitoring procedures exist to monitor patients’ mental health status to prevent relapse and crisis situations. It is therefore necessary to develop cheap, convenient and accessible monitoring systems that could be […]

Cochlear implants are surgical devices that allow deaf people to recover some form of hearing and understand speech. However, current devices are limited, particularly in terms of their ability to transmit voice pitch information. Users have to compensate for these limitations by spending additional resources to decode words, fill-in the gaps, and extract linguistic and […]

This research has two main foci: (1) resilience and resilience intervention and (2) workplace dignity. The first main focus of this project is to evaluate Air Institute’s current evidence-informed Pathway to Resilience program, specifically their effectiveness in impacting the key resilience factors targeted in each workshop. This research will also examine data in order to […]

During night shifts, workers’ circadian rhythms (or “body clocks”) do not align with their work schedules. This misalignment results in poorer sleep and more workplace errors relative to working during the day. It is possible to align the body clock to night shift schedules by controlling one’s exposure to light. However, the effectiveness of this […]

The proposed project will evaluate the healthcare utilization of chronic pain patients using cannabis for their pain treatment while on a waitlist for a specialized pain clinic. Two hundred patients will be followed for 6-months to identify differences in the number of medical appointments or prescription medication depending if one uses cannabis for pain relief […]
