--------------------------- 9h30– 10h30: “9th IIT-FM Inaugural Lecture” by Etienne MULLET Nationality: French Affiliation: Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Paris, France. Type of communication: Oral. Title: Shaping Human Judgment: Education, Learning, Limits. Abstract: Human judgment is naturally shaped by everyday experience (our successes and failures), by discussions with family and friends, by formal education at school, and by what we read, not to mention television and the Internet. However, views on the shaping of the mind have evolved considerably since the days of Locke's tabula rasa. If we assume that man is born without any predetermined way of judging, then the power of learning as a means of shaping judgments of all kinds can be conceived as immense. All judgement processes will thus appear to be essentially shaped by experience from birth. There will be no limits to the shaping of the new man. Until recently, it was even fashionable to display this kind of conviction, and many of our colleagues still believe it. But if we assume that man, like all other mammals, is born fully equipped with already functional judgment processes, then the power of learning is reduced to the development and perfection of these processes. This means that, in all likelihood, we can't learn just anything, at any time, in any way, even if we're placed in conditions deemed optimal. The aim of this presentation is essentially to illustrate this last point by showing that, in the same functional learning session, certain aspects of the judgment process are modified – those that are an integral part of the elementary, possibly innate, baggage – and others are not – those that cannot be part of it. For topical reasons, we have chosen the situation of judging the risk of contagion.

12h50– 14h30: Lunch Break
14h30– 15h10: “The good society” by Claudia Pineda Marín, Yamile Turizo, & Etienne Mullet. Nationality: Colombian & French Affiliation: Escuela de Posgrados, Fundación Universitaria Konrad Lorenz, Bogotá, Colombia Type of communication: Oral Title: Public Perceptions of the Good Society: A Cross-Cultural Analysis Using Information Integration Theory Abstract: Contemporary society faces a profound paradox: while collective aspirations tend toward more just, peaceful, and democratic societies, global indicators reveal a reality marked by structural inequalities, power concentration, and the resurgence of authoritarian regimes. Although social equality is promoted by international organizations and echoed in official discourse, significant setbacks are evident across multiple regions. Currently, more than one-third of the world’s population lives under authoritarian or hybrid regimes, where democratic forms may remain, but their substance—civil liberties, independent justice, and meaningful participation—has been severely eroded. In this context, it is alarming that popular support often falls on leaders who promote exclusionary policies, social control, and militarism, usually justified by promises of stability or economic growth. Simultaneously, the world witnesses a record number of armed conflicts—92 countries involved in 56 active wars—and growing polarization among belligerent, imperialist, pacifist, and neutral nations. Moreover, global wealth continues to concentrate in a small number of high-income countries, while the majority face economic fragility and persistent extreme poverty. Against this backdrop of global tension and contradiction, the present comparative study, conducted in Colombia and France, aimed to explore how ordinary citizens define a “desirable country to live in.” In other words, what kind of society do people imagine when they think of collective well-being, democratic coexistence, and quality of life? This question becomes especially relevant when contrasted with current political trends: if people value justice, peace, and equity, why do they support political projects that undermine those very ideals? The study was grounded in information integration theory and functional measurement. A 4 × 2 × 2 × 3 orthogonal factorial design was used, incorporating four factors: the state's peace policy (pacifist, neutral, imperialist, belligerent), level of social equality (high, low), political regime (democratic, monocratic), and national income level (low, moderate, high). These combinations yielded 48 realistic vignettes, each followed by the question: “How much would you like to live in this country?” with a response scale from 0 (not at all) to 10 (very much). The study included 117 French and 96 Colombian adults, all of whom participated voluntarily and in accordance with the ethical standards of each country. Following a familiarization phase, participants evaluated the full set of scenarios. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and cluster analysis.
15h10– 15h50: “Political amnesties” by Yamile Turizo Nationality: Colombian Affiliation: Department of Social Sciences, Universidad de la Costa CUC-Barranquilla -Colombia, Colombia. Type of communication: Oral. Title: Wayuu People’s Positions Regarding the Acceptability of Political Amnesties in Colombia Abstract: This study mapped the diverse personal positions of the Wayuu indigenous community in Colombia regarding the acceptability of political amnesties in a post-conflict context. The sample was composed of 130 indigenous adults between 18 and 74 years of age residing in the Guajira region, who were shown 12 amnesty-related scenarios. These scenarios were composed according to a three-factor design: a) the level of detail that the amnesty applicant (former combatant of some illegal armed group in Colombia) was willing to disclose, b) whether or not the applicant asked for forgiveness, and c) the severity of the punishment endured by the amnesty applicant (A cluster analysis yielded three qualitatively different positions: Never acceptable (18%), Almost always acceptable (9%) and Depends jointly on the quality of the information and remorse (73%). For the vast majority of Wayuu community members, a political amnesty for a former combatant of a Colombian armed group is not acceptable. For those who have accepted it, amnesty is only possible if the applicant proves that he or she is not causing harm to third parties. And it would also be conditioned to the particular situation of each case. A collective amnesty process has no chance of being considered acceptable.
15h50– 16h30: Coffee break 16h30– 18h00: Guided tour of Amiens City (And how about few drinks in beautiful French Terrace?) TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2025 SESSION 2: JUDGEMENTS AND DECISION MAKING IN THE CONTEXT OF SEXUAL AND INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS 9h00– 9h40: “Sexual consent” by Eleonor Gilles-Noguès, Philip J. Moore, & Germano Vera Cruz Nationality: French & USA Affiliation: UR 7273 CRP-CPO, Université de Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens, France Type of communication: Oral. Title: Judgments of sexual consent as function of age, intimacy, and alcohol consumption. Abstract: Sexual consent is a central concept in legal, ethical, and social discussions surrounding interpersonal relationships. Yet the exact distinction between consensual sexual intercourse and sexual violence is not a matter of consensus, as we have seen with recent debates surrounding the modification of the legal definition of rape and sexual assault. While some authors define sexual assault as "any sexual interaction involving one or more persons who do not consent" (Collart, 2017), the exact meaning of sexual "consent" remains to be defined, and the definition of this term is also not subject to scientific consensus. The present study aimed at examining university students’ judgement of sexual consent situations, as functions of the individuals involved in relationship ages, level of intimacy, and level of alcohol consumption. Overall, 250 students were presented with factorial designed scenarios, comprising age, intimacy, and alcohol consumption (3x3x3). The scenarios were grounded on Information Integration Theory. Results show strong effect of alcohol; while the effects of age and intimacy level were less important.
9h40– 10h20: “Soliciting sex” by Alexa Pradeille & Myriam Guedj Nationality: French. Affiliation: CERPPS – EA 7411, Université de Toulouse 2 Jean- Jaurès, Toulouse, France. Type of communication: Oral. Title: Soliciting sex: how far is it acceptable to go? Abstract: The acceptability of sexual solicitation is a complex issue shaped by societal norms, relationship dynamics, and attitudes toward consent. Despite its importance, the application of Information Integration Theory to the study of sexual solicitation acceptability remains unexplored, which is the focus of the present study. A sample of 434 French laypeople read 42 scenarios depicting situations in which a man initiates a sexual interaction with his partner. The scenarios included five factors: duration of the relationship, type of sexual act requested, partner's behavior, verbal consent, and discernment. Verbal consent and partner behavior were the most influential factors in respondents' judgments, followed by the type of sexual act requested and the duration of the relationship. Cluster analysis revealed five groups: “Always Acceptable”, “Need for Audible and Visible Consent”, “Depends on Behavior”, “Depends on Verbal Consent”, and “Never Acceptable”. Most participants showed sensitivity to the situational context, which played a key role in shaping their judgments about the acceptability of sexual solicitation. These findings highlight the nuanced ways in which contextual factors influence perceptions of sexual solicitation, providing valuable insights for future research and public education on consent.
10h20– 11h00: “Conjugal violence” by Coline Tancons & Nathalie Teisseyre Nationality: French. Affiliation: UR CERES, Institut Catholique de Toulouse (ICT), Toulouse, France. Type of communication: Oral. Title: Blame judgments: conjugal violence in heterosexual couples. Abstract:

SESSION 3: JUDGEMENTS AND DECISION MAKING IN THE CONTEXT OF ETHICS AND MORAL 14h00– 14h40: “Research by misconduct” by Florian Alba, Céline Launay, Bringuier Magali, & Jacques Py Nationality: French. Affiliation: CLLE, Université de Toulouse, CNRS, Toulouse, France Type of communication: Oral. Title:Judging Research Misconduct: A Functional Measurement Approach to Perceived Violations of Scientific Integrity. Abstract:In the context of growing attention to scientific integrity illustrated by the recent introduction of doctoral integrity oaths, we conducted two studies using the functional measurement approach to investigate how members of the academic community evaluate different types of transgressions against established research ethics. These studies aimed to explore the extent to which such behaviors are perceived as breaches of scientific integrity: a variety of academic misconducts in Study 1 and specific forms of plagiarism in Study 2. In both studies, participants were presented with scenarios describing a young researcher involved in a questionable research practice. Two factors were systematically manipulated: (1) the researcher’s disciplinary field (humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences) and (2) the presence or absence of an integrity oath sworn at the end of the doctoral defense.
14h40– 15h20: “Biosafety rules” by Nathalie Teisseyre & Etienne Mullet Nationality: France Affiliation: UR CERES, Institut Catholique de Toulouse Type of communication: Oral Title: People's Positions on Biosafety Rules Violations during a Pandemic Abstract:The uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 has led governments to take more or less drastic health measures, including population lockdowns measures. In France, these measures were more or less well understood and accepted by the population. We conducted a study aimed at inventorying people's positions regarding overt violations of these protective measures. Method: A sample of 210 French adults aged 18-81 years was presented with 48 scenarios depicting the situation of adults who, although necessarily informed of the various governmental measures concerning hygiene and social distance, deliberately violate these measures by leaving their home for more than an hour several times a week since the measures came into effect. These scenarios were obtained by orthogonal crossing of five factors: frequency of transgressive behaviors, temporality of transgressions (e.g., from the beginning of confinement), reason given for transgression (ex., could not stand to be coerced and decided not to comply), and whether or not the transgressor was wearing a certificate and/or a surgical mask. Results: Six qualitatively different positions emerged. A majority of participants (64%) found it completely or largely unacceptable not to comply with the stay-at-home injunction. A minority of participants (29%) found it unacceptable not to comply with certain containment measures such as wearing a mask and/or carrying a certificate but did not consider it unacceptable to leave the house for various reasons not related to supply or work. Only a small minority of participants (7%) found it broadly acceptable not to follow containment measures, regardless of the precautions taken or not taken to avoid contagion. This position was neither associated with a denial of the existence of risks nor with a denial of the effectiveness of wearing a mask in reducing risk. Discussion: A large majority of participants found it unacceptable not to comply. Those who do not approve of these measures do so not because they deny the risks of contagion (although they tend to minimize them), but because they defend ideals such as civil liberties or economic freedoms. For them, these ideals must take precedence over the protection of the most fragile, who are also, for the most part, the "non-productive" members of society.
15h20 – 16h00: “Ethics in sport” by Aurore Lechat & Eric Fruchart Nationality: French Affiliation: LIPSEM, Université de Perpignan Via Domitia (UPVD), Perpignan, France. Type of communication: Oral.

16h40– 17h20: “Euthanasia acceptability” by Myriam Guedj Nationality: French. Affiliation: CERPPS, Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès. Type of communication: Oral. Title: Euthanasia and Physician-Assisted Suicide in France: Evolution of Acceptability from 2003 to 2023
Abstract: Objective: End-of-life decisions, including euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (PAS), remain highly debated, particularly in countries like France, where legislative changes are under discussion. This study replicates Guedj et al. (2005) to examine shifts in acceptability judgments regarding these practices over the past two decades. Using Anderson’s Information Integration Theory, participants from both the general public and healthcare professions evaluated the acceptability of life-ending decisions across various scenarios. Methods: The study compared responses from a 2003 sample (N = 187) to those from 2023 (N = 202), analyzing factors such as patient Desire to die, the nature of suffering (physical, psychiatric, or complete dependence), the role of the actor (patient or physician), and the procedure (active or passive). Results: Results indicate stability in overall acceptability judgments but reveal notable changes in specific attitudes. While PAS have gained acceptance, involuntary euthanasia has become significantly less acceptable. Physicians consistently exhibited lower acceptability ratings than laypeople, with nurses and nurses aids occupying an intermediate position. Conclusion: The findings reflect evolving societal and professional perspectives, emphasizing the growing importance of patient autonomy while reinforcing ethical concerns regarding vulnerable populations. These results hold significant implications for policy debates and the ethical framework surrounding end-of-life care.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 2025 SESSION 4: JUDGEMENTS AND DECISION MAKING IN THE CONTEXT OF LEARNING? CANCER, MOTIVATION, AND MUCH MORE 9h00– 9h40: “Digital learning” by Guadalupe Elizabeth Morales-Martinez & Marisol Sánchez-Hernández Nationality: Maxican Affiliation: Cognitive Science and Educational Innovation Laboratory, Institute of Research on the University and Education (Lab-CCIE, IISUE), National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico City, Mexico Type of communication: Oral Title: Using intertwined cognitive algebra and mental representation techniques to innovate the design of digital learning materials. Abstract: Norman Henry Anderson's Information Integration Theory is a perspective that embraces the complex nature of the human mind across a wide variety of contexts, including the academic one. Anxiety, motivation, academic enjoyment, and metacognition are some phenomena to explore from this perspective. This paper discusses the joint use of the cognitive algebra paradigm and natural semantic networks to create new educational diagnosis and intervention forms. To address this, the present authors present a study exploring the effect of cognitive designing of digital learning materials on academic learning and judgments of academic enjoyment in college and high school students. The results indicate that cognitive algebra designs help determine which cognitive characteristics of digital learning materials influence students' learning and judgments of academic enjoyment when using such materials. In addition, these studies provide insights into the cognitive functions that underlie the information integration process in learning and enjoyment of learning experiences. These findings suggest that the combined use of cognitive algebra and other cognitive paradigms can contribute to creating innovative teaching tools adapted to students' cognitive characteristics and potentially affect the different processes involved in student learning.
9h40– 10h20: “Pediatric cancer” by Romane Garde & Nathalie Teisseyre Nationality: French Affiliation: UR CERES (Cultures, Ethics, Religions and Society), Institut Catholique de Toulouse (ICT) Type of communication: Oral Title: Judgments of the announcement of pediatric cancer Abstract: Introduction: The announcement of pediatric cancer is a public health issue, although the announcement procedures have been formalised by the national authorities.
10h20 – 11h00: “Vroom’s model of motivation” by Bogdan Popa Nationality: Romenian Affiliation: Type of communication: Oral. Title: Extracting Everything that Data Can Tell Us. Abstract: The study is designed to test, in a within-subject context, the multiplicative component of Vroom’s model of motivation. He was proposing Expectation-type models to describe students’ and workers’ occupational preferences. The Force model of Vroom’s theory deals with the concepts of a. behavioural force (the inclination toward one or the other alternatives), b. occupational valence (the motivational component), and c. expectancy (the probability that a particular outcome will follow the behaviour). The relationships between these concepts are expressed as follows: Force = Expectation x Valence. The model thus appears as a variant of the expected utility model. I developed 16 scenarios, including four that concentrated specifically on the Chances of Success information. A total of 365 teenagers and young adults, aged 15 to 22, participated in the study. The responses to the scenario questions underwent a cluster analysis, plotted along a spectrum from Certainly Not to Certainly Yes. In my design, Career Interest and Chances of Success factors included four options: ranging from Does Not Match at All to Does Match Completely for interest, and from Virtually No Chances to All Chances for success. Although there are mathematical criteria for determining the number of clusters to retain, I preferred to proceed step by step and analyse the response patterns obtained at each level of analysis (Fig. 4 & Fig. 5). At this first step, the study clearly shows that at least two types of cognitive process are present (two-cluster solution). One conforms to Vroom’s proposal. It is the majority cluster (N=198). The other is a more straightforward process: an additive process. Figures 6, 7, and 8 show the results from testing a three-cluster and a four-cluster solution. Unsurprisingly, the cluster conforming to Vroom’s model remains the majority cluster. Conversely, the additive cluster has seemingly split into two smaller clusters, with the first being similar to the one found earlier. The second, Optimistic, is peculiar because it is very high on the response scale. The Vroom’s model-conforming and optimistic clusters were found (Fig. 9). Figures 10 and 11 illustrate the results of testing a five-cluster solution. This solution differs from the previous one in that a balanced additive cluster has been highlighted alongside the existing clusters (Valence and Expectancy). Figures 12 and 13 present the results when a six-cluster solution is tested. We discover the same five clusters we have already encountered. Figures 14 and 15 present the results of testing a seven-cluster solution, providing a level of analysis that lacks genuinely new information. Figure 16 illustrates the average distances from the centroid for each solution tested. This serves as a mathematical criterion for defining the optimum number of clusters (Hofmans & Mullet, 2013). Nevertheless, we favour the six-cluster solution as the optimal solution, given that the seven-cluster solution proposes two clusters with equivalent psychological significance in terms of cognitive process (judgment rule). My suggestion is that whenever we conduct a cluster analysis of data collected according to a two-factor or more experimental design, rather than blindly adhering to the dictates of mathematical criteria, it is preferable to proceed with a step-by-step analysis and absorb what each solution can offer as a means of understanding what the data have to tell us. In other words, having a mathematical criterion does not eliminate the need for an analysis of the very substance of the data (Mullet, Hofmans, & Schlottman, 2016).

SESSION 5 POSTER SESSION AND ENDING REMARKS 14h30 – 15h30: Poster session Authors: Luis Rodolfo Patino-Munguia & Guadalupe Elizabeth Morales-Martinez Nationality: Mexican Affiliation: Cognitive Science and Educational Innovation Laboratory, Institute of Research on the University and Education (IISUE), National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico City, Mexico Type of communication: Poster Title: Cognitive mechanisms underlying academic enjoyment of digital learning materials in Mexican engineering students Abstract:This paper explored the cognitive mechanisms underlying the experience of academic enjoyment when engineering students use digital learning materials. To this, researchers combined the effect of four factors involved in the development of digital learning materials using a factorial design of 3(Text length: Short vs. Medium vs. Long) X2(Clarity: High vs. Low) X3(Time to delivery: Long vs. Medium vs. Short) X2(Motivation: Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic) resulting 36 experimental conditions to elaborate hypothetical learning situations. Participants had to read these hypothetical stories to determine the degree of enjoyment they would experience in each situation. The results indicated three perspectives for evaluating the academic enjoyment of digital learning materials; the three groups similarly integrated information to elaborate their judgments through an additive cognitive rule. However, the selection and valuation of the factors differed between the three clusters; the high enjoyment group selected only three factors, while the other clusters (Medium and low enjoyment) gave importance to the four factors. These findings have implications for the educative design of learning materials, which will be discussed in this paper. Authors: Ana Yolanda Lara-Resendiz, Miriam Hildegare Sánchez Monroy, & Guadalupe Elizabeth Morales Martínez Nationality: Mexican Affiliation: Cognitive Science and Educational Innovation Laboratory, Institute of Research on the University and Education (IISUE), National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Mexico City, Mexico Type of communication: Poster Title:Cognitive mechanisms underlying seriousness judgments of academic dishonesty in engineering students during evaluation Abstract: Academic dishonesty involves transgressing established academic rules, for example, when a student pretends to appear to know. However, he or she does not possess it just in order to obtain an academic and/or social benefit. One step to prevent this kind of behavior in classrooms worldwide is to understand the cognitive nature of this phenomenon. Therefore, the present study explores the cognitive nature of judgments about academic cheating in 171 engineering students from a Mexican university. For this purpose, a study was designed based on the cognitive algebra paradigm, which means orthogonally combining five factors including Student Type (Participative vs. Avoidant), Socioeconomic Background (Low vs. High), Assessment Mode (Face to face-paper vs. Distance learning-digital), Type of Cheating: (Lying vs. Using Notes vs. Posing), and Locus of control (Internal vs. External), generating 48 experimental conditions to design the experimental scenarios. Each scenario described probable conditions that occur inside a school context and could lead to academic dishonesty behaviors. The experimental task was to read each scenario one by one. Afterward, participants had to evaluate the seriousness of academic dishonest behavior in the described situation using an 11-point scale. Results indicated that the participants integrated the two more significant factors (school cheating and student types) with the summative cognitive rule. Additionally, the present authors observed gender-related differences in seriousness judgments since the female participants gave more importance to the cheating behavior type. In contrast, male participants gave more weight to the student type. In conclusion, there are similarities among women and men in the cognitive mechanisms related to judgments on the severity of academic dishonesty, however, there are also differences among both genders related to the valuation of factors related to academic dishonesty.

The present authors designed an experiment by combining three factors (Loss severity, closeness with the scenario protagonist, and emotional reactivity of the protagonist), resulting in 27 experimental conditions called experimental scenarios, which described a hypothetical context about the experience that a person feeling when he or she had a loss. The experimental task was to read each scenario and make a judgment about how much empathic stress participants experienced under the conditions described in each scenario. The results indicated that the Mexican sample experienced a medium level of empathic stress (M= 5.20, SD= 2.42) when faced with stories about difficult situations for others. They used three statistically significant factors to elaborate their judgments. The closeness with the scenario protagonist was the most relevant factor, followed by the type of loss and the emotional reaction of the protagonist. The analysis suggests that the cognitive rule of information integration is a multiplicative operation. Furthermore, the scores of the participants differed significantly in their expression of empathic stress between men (M= 4.63, SD= 2.31) and women (M= 5.63, SD= 2.26). However, the analysis did not show significant differences by age concerning the level of empathic stress. The findings of this study provide valuable information for understanding the mechanisms or cognitive functions involved in how people interact and form social and affective relationships that allow them to achieve their well-being in a country with high levels of violence. Then, the results can be used in the design of intervention programs to improve interpersonal relationships within the Mexican community.

Title: Judgments of socio-professional integration for people with schizophrenia Abstract: Introduction: Public policies have implemented various measures to promote the socio-professional integration of people with disabilities. However, for individuals with schizophrenia, accessing employment remains a major challenge, characteristic of psychosocial disability. Their employment rate is significantly lower than that of the general population due to numerous barriers such as financial dependence, social difficulties, and stigma. Yet, employment plays a crucial role in maintaining mental health and supporting the rehabilitation of individuals with psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study is to identify the factors influencing judgements about the socio-professional integration of people with schizophrenia, and to examine how these judgements differ between the general public and healthcare professionals. It also explores the impact of participants' characteristics and whether different groups respond differently to this issue. Methods: The study was conducted with 302 participants, including 168 individuals from public and 134 healthcare professionals, with an average age of 34 years (SD = 11.7). They responded to 24 clinical vignettes describing the situation of a 20-year-old diagnosed with schizophrenia a year earlier. Since then, she had been receiving daily antipsychotic treatment to stabilize her symptoms, living alone with support at home, and planning to work with support adapted to her needs. The factorial design was based on the combined modalities of four variables: gender (female, male), medication compliance (intentional discontinuation, forgetfulness, adherence), care pathway (psychiatrist, day hospital) and social support (presence or absence of social support). A questionnaire assessing authoritarianism and social restriction was administered to measure participants' attitudes towards schizophrenia, complementing an anamnestic questionnaire. Results: Analysis of the data showed that compliance with treatment was the main factor influencing judgements about the socio-professional integration of adults with schizophrenia, alongside care pathway and social support. Better knowledge of schizophrenia and a more favorable attitude, particularly in terms of authoritarianism and social restriction, reinforced this positive perception. Cluster analysis revealed five groups with distinct response pattern. Discussion: Raising public awareness about schizophrenia is crucial to reducing stereotypes and promoting more positive socio-professional inclusion. A better understanding of this disorder would help mitigate negative judgments. To achieve this, it is essential to develop psychoeducation on social inclusion and disability, targeting both affected individuals, their families, and healthcare professionals. At the same time, awareness and prevention campaigns must be strengthened to challenge prejudices. These actions would help alleviate concerns within social support networks and improve the socio-professional integration of affected individuals by fostering a better understanding of their experiences and specific needs.

Title:Acceptability of Doping Substance Use concerning Sports Practice and Body Perception. Abstract: Introduction: Understanding the mechanisms leading to doping remains a major challenge for researchers due to the numerous individuals, social and contextual factors influencing these behaviors. Despite widespread condemnation, sports doping persists, notwithstanding preventive efforts and implemented sanctions. The objective of this study is to observe the acceptability of the use of doping substances. This approach aims to identify the determinants of acceptability judgments regarding the use of performance-enhancing substances. It also aimed to observe the presence of answer patterns and profiles responses in participants. Method: The sample consists of 126 participants, including 78 athletes and 48 non-athletes, with a mean age of 35 years (ET= 14.6). Participants were asked to assess the acceptability of using performance-enhancing substances across 36 experimental vignettes. These scenarios were designed by systematically varying two levels of age (18, 30 years old), two levels of body perception (body satisfaction, body dissatisfaction), three levels of physical activity (once a week, twice a week, more than 5 times a week), and three levels of doping substance severity (energy drinks, steroids, steroids and cocaine). Additionally, participants completed questionnaires on body perception, physical activity, and anamnesis. Results: A total of 126 participants (including 78 athletes) were assessed. Results show that the type of doping substance is the most significant factor impacting acceptability judgments. Physical activity intensity and age also have significant effects, while body perception appears to have no influence. A significant interaction was found between physical activity and substance type. An eigenvalue-based cluster analysis followed by a K-means clustering procedure revealed three distinct respondent profiles with different response patterns and mean scores. Cluster 1 was labeled “moderately favorable judgment”, Cluster 2 as “more acceptable with extreme responses”, and Cluster 3 as “unacceptable”. An interaction between cluster membership and substance type showed that participants in Cluster 2 expressed significantly higher acceptability toward performance-enhancing substances than those in the other clusters. Discussion: These findings suggest that social representations of doping substances vary depending on their perceived nature, and that the sports context plays a role in shaping attitudes toward doping. A cluster analysis identified three respondent profiles with distinct response patterns, offering valuable insight for the development of targeted and group-specific prevention strategies.
