Jeunes au Québec et enjeux sociaux : articulations entre les représentations de la nation, des changements climatiques et de la pauvreté
Bibliographic record
Abstract
La jeunesse québécoise grandit dans un contexte caractérisé par des tensions identitaires liées au sentiment national, des débats sociétaux souvent perçus comme polarisés et une individualisation croissante du rapport au politique. La construction des opinions politiques est particulièrement importante durant cette période de la vie, qui est également cruciale pour forger le lien à la collectivité et aux enjeux sociaux. Toutefois, peu de recherches portent sur la manière dont les jeunes au Québec articulent leurs diverses opinions politiques et comment celles-ci s’inscrivent dans des orientations idéologiques plus larges. Ancrée dans une approche théorique centrée sur les représentations sociales et basée sur des entretiens semi-dirigés avec des jeunes aux profils sociodémographiques variés, cette étude explore la manière dont les jeunes au Québec articulent leurs représentations de la nation québécoise avec leurs attitudes envers deux autres enjeux sociaux majeurs : les changements climatiques et la pauvreté. Les analyses révèlent que l’articulation entre le rapport à la nation et les opinions sur ces enjeux s’opère de façon complexe et nuancée, à travers une mise en cohérence qui renvoie à des orientations idéologiques sous-jacentes, dévoilant ainsi quatre principales façons distinctes de penser l'organisation sociale préférée : société, communauté, État et liberté. Dans son ensemble, la présente étude met en lumière l’existence d’une grande diversité d’opinions politiques parmi les jeunes au Québec, contribuant ainsi à enrichir notre compréhension des débats sociétaux contemporains. Young people in Quebec are growing up in a context marked by identity tensions linked to national sentiment, societal debates often perceived as polarized and an increasing individualization of their connection to politics. This period of life, during which the construction of political opinions is particularly important, is also essential for establishing one's relationship to the collectivity and to social issues. However, there is limited research focusing on how young people in Quebec articulate their various political opinions and how these align with broader ideological orientations. Employing a theoretical framework centred on social representations and drawing from semi-structured interviews with young people representing a variety of socio-demographic profiles, this study explores how they articulate their representations of the Quebec nation with their attitudes towards two other major social issues: climate change and poverty. The analysis unveils a complex and nuanced articulation between their sense of national identity and their opinions on these issues, achieved through a process of coherence grounded in underlying ideological orientations, thereby revealing four distinct perspectives on preferred social organization: society, community, state, and freedom. Overall, this study highlights the existence of a wide diversity of political opinions among young people in Quebec, thus contributing to enriching our understanding of contemporary societal debates.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
