Résumé
La privation relative temporelle est le sentiment de menace ressenti par les individus suite à des comparaisons négatives entre la situation actuelle de leur groupe d'appartenance et la situation de leur groupe dans le passé. Les travaux empiriques antérieurs sur la privation relative temporelle ont identifié un lien prédictif modéré négatif entre la privation relative temporelle et le bien-être psychologique. Traditionnellement, les chercheurs qui ont évalué la privation relative temporelle demandaient aux individus de comparer la situation actuelle de leur groupe avec un seul point de comparaison dans le passé. L’objectif principal du présent texte vise à reconceptualiser la théorie de la privation relative temporelle dans le contexte québécois des anglophones et des francophones où plusieurs points tournants de l’histoire du Québec seront considérés.
Mots clés:
- privation relative temporelle,
- sentiment de menace,
- identité sociale,
- bien-être psychologique
Abstract
Temporal Relative Deprivation is the distressing feeling experienced by individuals following negative comparisons between the current and past situations of the group they belong to. Previous empirical studies on Temporal Relative Deprivation identified a modest negative predictive link between Temporal Relative Deprivation and psychological well-being. Traditionally, researchers who evaluated Temporal Relative Deprivation asked people to compare their current group situation with one single point of comparison in the past. The main objective of the present paper is to re-conceptualize Temporal Relative Deprivation Theory in the context of Quebec for Anglophones and Francophones, considering the key periods in Quebec’s history, being several points of comparison in the past.
