OBS

Likely, Very Likely, Extremely Likely, Virtually Certain These terms are used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) to indicate how probable it is that a predicted outcome will occur in the climate system, according to expert judgment. A result that is deemed “likely” to occur has a greater than 66% probability of occurring. A “very likely” result has a greater than 90% probability. “Extremely likely” means greater than 95% probability, and “virtually certain” means greater than 99% probability.

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
CONT

En principe, la fiabilité décroît avec l'échéance : 85 % à 24 h, 75 % à 48 h, 60 % à 72 h, 40 % à 96 h. Attention : une mauvaise fiabilité ne doit toutefois pas être confondue avec une mauvaise prévision! Le modèle montre en effet la tendance la plus probable (celle qui découle de ses innombrables calculs à un temps donné). Le lendemain, tenant compte des derniers paramètres, cette tendance pourra prendre une toute autre direction. N'oublions pas que, contrairement à d'autres sciences, la météorologie n'est pas une science exacte. Ainsi donc, une prévision à 4 jours doit être prise pour une tendance et non pour une certitude absolue. D'où l'expression «temps possible, ou temps probable pour samedi» [...]

Self-categorization theory is a social psychological theory developed by John Turner(1985) and colleagues(Turner, Hogg, Oakes, Reicher & Wetherell, 1987). In simple terms, the theory postulates that at different times we perceive ourselves as unique individuals and at other times as members of groups and that these two are equally valid expressions of self... Self-categorization theory has been applied to many processes in social psychology, in particular social stereotyping, social judgment, crowd behaviour, small group processes, but arguably its most extensive application to date has been the explanation of social influence...

Selon la TAC, le fonctionnement du concept de soi dépend de la situation. Le concept de soi comprend de nombreuses composantes. Parmi ces différentes «images de soi» possibles, certaines seront rendues saillantes en fonction de la situation spécifique dans laquelle l'individu se trouve.

CONT

L'Europe comme objet de recherches permettrait ainsi aux psychosociologues de valider (ou réfuter) les assertions de Turner (Mlicki & Ellemers, 1996 ; Huici et al., 1997) quant à la source d'explications universelles des conflits intergroupes que serait la théorie de l'auto-catégorisation (TAC) (1985,1987).
