Sondes Zouaghi

Full Professor – IAE Caen – NIMEC

Associate Editor of Décision Marketing
Valorization Vice-President of AFM (French Marketing Association)

As a researcher, I am interested in three areas in consumer behavior: Marketing Identity (ethnicity, self/we concept, professionnal/personnal identities), Social Marketing (associative environment, organ donation) and Paradigmatic Changes (role of the researcher in dissemination of ideas, multicultural studies, postcolonial studies).

Mobilized theories belong to Clinical Psychology (group mentality, identity tension, personality, attachment, superstition, taboo of death, body), to Social Psychology (identity, social representations), to Sociology (ethnicity, group identity) and to Ethnology (for methodological applications).

I hold a PhD from Dauphine University, a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Paris 5-René Descartes University and a DU in excecutive coaching from Cergy University.
