# La Science s'aMuse: From the psychology of barrier gestures to quarantine insects

Welcome to La science s'aMuse, the scientific program co-produced by the UM and Divergence-FM, which takes you on a cruise through the archipelago of Muse laboratories. Today's stopover is EuroMov, where Yannick Stephen makes the link between psychological traits and respect for barrier gestures. In the 2nd half of the program, Magali Eychenne takes us on a tour of the quarantine insect platform.

Welcome aboard the UM liner bound for the Euromov laboratory. Make yourself comfortable on one of the couches at your disposal. Take a breath and dive into the intricacies of human psychology. Last June, an article in the European Journal of Personality examined the role our different personality traits can play in the behavioral reactions we develop in response to the health recommendations put in place to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic. A study carried out in the USA on over 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 direct your toilet paper stock management during containment? Today's guest tells you all about it. We talk to Yannick Stephen, health psychology researcher at the Euromov laboratory.

In the second half of the program, we take you to the Triolet campus to discover the PIQ platform, for quarantine insect platform, and Magali Eychenne from the Diversity, Genomes and Microorganism-Insect Interactions laboratory gives us the tour.

La science s'aMuse, you've got the map, let's get on board!
