Prevention strategies to reduce alcohol use/consumption among young people are crucial to reducing alcohol-related deaths and preventing disease. This paper focuses on the effectiveness of a social networking site (SNS) alcohol prevention program targeted toward young people. We hypothesized that the program would diminish the relation made by participants between alcohol and festive moments, and would result in a reduction of their declared consumption of alcohol at festive moments during the program. We also explored the interaction with the prevention program that was the most efficient. The prevention program took the form of 3 lotteries over 2 years. The participants periodically received prevention messages, particularly on alcohol and festive moments (eg, videos on Facebook and short message service [SMS] text messages on their mobile phones). For the 3 periods, the participants had to answer questions exploring the level of their belief that alcohol consumption and festive m...

ABSTRACT Review of the book, "The justice motive in adolescence and young adulthood. Origins and consequences" (2004) by C. Dalbert and H. Sallay. In 15 chapters written by scholars from Germany, Croatia, Hungary, Portugal, Slovakia, and the United States, Claudia Dalbert (Martin Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg, Germany) and Hedwig Sallay (University of Debrecen, Hungary), aim to combine developmental psychology with a traditional social-psychological topic: the justice motive theory. The authors proposed that people need to believe that the world is a just place in which individuals get what they deserve. The need to believe in a just world is reflected in how people respond to justice/injustice in the world and, more broadly, in the way people orient their lives around issues of deservingness. The strength of this book is threefold. First, it presents an important summary of international studies delineating the occurrence of just-world beliefs. The majority of the participants in the studies do not belong to the student population; the countries where the studies took place are diverse, and some of them are characterized by an optimal sampling, which is far from being modal in the correlational literature on just world beliefs. Second, it increases the empirical evidence showing the adaptative aspects of just-world beliefs on a quantity of psychological dimensions. Dalbert and Sallay convincingly introduce the idea that studies on social and political development should integrate just-world beliefs as core concepts. Third, it confirms the interest of studying just-world beliefs with explicit, verbal measures. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)

The present study is an analysis of the effect of religious affiliation and social commitment on moral attitudes in the fight against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or the fight against poverty. French citizens (N = 284) who either belonged to the Roman Catholic church or were without religious affiliation, who were committed to the prevention of AIDS or to the fight against poverty, completed a 9-item scale drawn from R. C. Katz, J. Santman, and P. Lonero's (1994) Morally Debatable Behaviors Scale-Revised. Results indicated that the responses were significantly affected by the religious affiliation and beliefs of respondents: Roman Catholics expressed less moral tolerance than nonreligious respondents. An interaction between commitment and religious belief showed that Roman Catholics committed to the fight against AIDS were less tolerant of illegal conduct than those committed to the fight against poverty, whereas no difference appeared between nonreligious respondents. No gender effect appeared.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted to examine the role of the individual's social power on endorsement of belief in a just world in the social domain. We hypothesized that the greater social power an individual has, the stronger the belief which s/he has in a just world. One hundred subjects of low or high socioeconomic status were randomly given low or high diagnosis of their social power after having completed a test which was presented as an evaluation of their actual and future social power in the socioprofessional domain. Results showed that subjects with low socioeconomic status believed that the world was less just in the low social power diagnosis condition than in the high one, while the belief in a just world of subjects with high socioeconomic status was not significantly affected by the experimental design.
