Laboratoire de Psychologie des Pays de la Loire (LPPL - UR 4638)

The Laboratoire de Psychologie des Pays de la Loire (Pays de Loire Psychology Laboratory), otherwise known as LPPL, was created in January 2012 following the merger of the psychology laboratories of the universities of Nantes and Angers.

This research laboratory brings together research lecturers and researchers from various fields in psychology. It is led by Philippe Alain, a neuropsychology professor at the University of Angers, and co-managed by Anne Congard, a Differential Health Psychology professor at the Nantes University.

The LPPL conducts research on the topic of regulation, with two lines of inquiry. The first line of inquiry, “Cognitive and behavioural regulation”, has entailed exploring the cognitive and social cognitive skills involved in regulating action. The second line of inquiry, “Emotional and social risk and regulation”, has involved looking at the role of individual and collective emotions and behaviour in a social context and in risky situations. Given that regulation mechanisms are a part of human development, researchers have been taking a lifespan perspective approach during research activities, wherever possible.
