# Science Fun: From the psychology of protective measures to quarantine insects
Welcome to La science s’aMuse, the science program co-produced by UM and Divergence-FM, which takes you on a cruise through the Muse laboratory archipelago. Today we stop at EuroMov, where Yannick Stephen explores the link between psychological traits and compliance with protective measures. In the second part of the program, Magali Eychenne gives us a tour of the quarantine insect platform.
Welcome aboard the UM cruise ship bound for the Euromov laboratory. Make yourself comfortable on one of the sofas provided. Take a deep breath and dive into the intricacies of human psychology. Last June, the European Journal of Personality published an article questioning the role that our different personality traits may play in the behavioral responses we develop in response to the health recommendations put in place in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic. A study conducted in the United States on more than 2,000 participants byFlorida State University and the University of Montpellier.
Does the fact that you are slightly emotionally unstable, extroverted, or empathetic influence your willingness to wash your hands or wear a mask? Did your self-discipline or anger unconsciously guide your management of toilet paper stocks during lockdown? Our guest today tells you everything. We discuss this with Yannick Stephen, a researcher in health psychology at the Euromov laboratory.
In the second part of the program, we take you to the Triolet campus to discover the PIQ platform, a quarantine insect platform, and Magali Eychenne from the Diversity, Genomes, and Microorganism-Insect Interactions Laboratory gives us a tour.
Science is fun, you've got the ticket, let's go!
