Research topics The centres of my activities, both in research and in practice, are linked to psychological adaptation to constraining situations often described as extreme. More specifically, to affective (e.g., stress, emotions), cognitive (e.g., motivation, performance) and social variables (e.g., leadership, social cohesion, support, dyadic relations) involved in adjustment strategies and adaptive processes (e.g., coping, defence mechanisms) in situations of sport competitions, at very high altitudes, and in polar and space stations. As a practicing psychologist, I intervene in the psychological preparation of the participants subjected to these extreme situations.
