Thought of a Typical Collage Girl   Storyline  Summary  

  Candy  is  currently  undergoing  her  degree  in  architecture  in  Taylor’s  University.     The  story  starts  on  a  typical  day  at  university  for  Candy.  As  she  finishes  her  class,  she  saw  different  people  with  various  fashion  style.  Candy  started  to  judge  everyone  based  on  how  they  are  dressed.    

  While  she  was  drawing,  she  reminded  herself  how  she  really  enjoy  drawing  and  is  really  passionate  about  it,  that  is  why  she  had  chosen  to  take  this  course.  

  Candy  then  met  with  her  best  friends  and  remember  how  she  first    meet  them.  She  had  chosen  to  befriend  them  is  because  of  she  feel  that  they  are  more  like  her  compared  to  the  other  groups  of  people  in  that  class.  

  On  her  way  to  lunch,  Candy  and  her  friends  saw  a  girl  who  was  carrying  a  lot  of  things  and  someone  accidently  bumped  into  her  making  her  fall.  Candy  and  her  friend  did  not  help  that  girl  and  they  just  walk  away.    

  Candy  and  her  friend  then  came  across  a  guy  who  was  selling  drinks,  but  that  guy  was  really  rude  and  impaXent.  He  then  tried  to  just  walk  away  leaving  Candy  and  her  friend  in  shock.  

FIRST IMPRESSION DEFINITION:  

  First  impression  is  the  term  applied  to  the  ini0al  impression  we  have  of  other  people  when  we  meet  them  for  the  first  0me  

•   The  primacy  effect  •  The  first  piece  of  informaXon  we  receive  will  have  the  most  impact  on  our  impression  

• The  recency  effect  •  The  last  piece  of  informaXon  we  receive  will  also  have  a  large  impact  on  our  impression  •  One  posiXve  a[ribute  will  cause  us  to  a[ribute  other  posiXve  qualiXes  to  an  individual  

FIRST IMPRESSION FIRST,  SHE  SAW  A  GIRL  WHO  IS  PROPERLY  DRESSED  AND  LOOK  NICE.  HER  THOUGHT  TO  HERSELF  THAT  THE  GIRL  MUST  BE  A  NICE  AND  KIND  TYPE  OF  PERSON  SINCE  SHE  IS  DRESSED  LIKE  ONE.    

THEN,  CANDY  SAW  ANOTHER  GIRL  WHO  WORE  ALL  BLACK  OUTFIT  AND  IS  BUSY  PLAYING  WITH  HER  PHONE  WHILE  WALKING  IN  THE  HALLWAY.  CANDY’S  PERCEPTION  ON  THAT  GIRL  WAS  SHE  MUST  BE  A  SPOILED  AND  CRUDE  PERSON.  

INTRINSIC MOTIVATION DEFINITION:     Intrinsic  mo0va0on  refers  to  behavior  that  is  driven  by  internal  rewards.  

• Occurs  when  we  act  without  any  obvious  external  rewards.  

• Simply  enjoy  an  acXvity    

• Perform  certain  acXviXes  to  inherent  saXsfacXon  or  pleasure  

CANDY  LOVES  TO  DRAW  AND  SHE  IS  REALLY  PASSIONATE  ABOUT  IT.  SHE  HAD  CHOSEN  TO  ENROLL  IN  ARCHITECTURE  COURSE  BECAUSE  SHE  ENJOY  DRAWING  AND  HAD  SUPPORT  FROM  HER  FAMILY  

STEREOTYPES DEFINITION:  Stereotype  is  a  fixed  or  over  generalized  belief  about  a  par0cular  group  of  people    •  Have  posiXve  or  negaXve  connotaXons  •  PosiXve;  enables  us  to  respond  rapidly  to  situaXon  that  we  may  have  experience  before  

•  NegaXve;  makes  us  ignore  differences  between  individuals  

•  Runs  the  risk  of  becoming  prejudicial  and  leading  to  discriminaXon  

CANDY  SAW  A  GROUP  OF  THREE  PEOPLE  WHO  WAS  BUSY  PLAYING  CARDS  AND  WAS  TALKING  LOUDLY  NOT  CARING  ABOUT  OTHERS.  SHE  KNOWS  THAT  SHE  WOULD  NOT  FIT  IN  THAT  GROUP  OF  PEOPLE.  

STEREOTYPES THEN  SHE  SAW  A  GIRL  WHO  WAS  ONLY  BY  HERSELF  AND  WAS  NOT  TALKING  TO  ANYONE.  CANDY  WOULD  NOT  WANT  TO  BE  AN  ANTI  SOCIAL  LIKE  THAT  GIRL.  

CANDY  THEN  SAW  TWO  GIRLS  WHO  LOOKS  FRIENDLY.  THEY  EVEN  SAID  HI  TO  HER  AND  ASK  HER  IF  SHE  WANTS  TO  SIT  WITH  THEM.  CANDY  FEELS  THAT  SHE  CAN  FIT  IN  WITH  THEM.    

BYSTANDER EFFECT DEFINITION:  

Factors  Affec0ng  the  Decision  to  help:        

Evalua0on  Apprehension  

Bystanders  may  feel  evalua0on  apprehension,  concern  about  what  others  expect  of  them  and  how  others  will  evaluate  their  behavior.    

•  In  addiXon,  if  others  are  present  and  not  reacXng  it  may  seem  to  infer  that  others  do  not  see  the  need  to  intervene.  

•  IntervenXon  in  this  case  would  seem  foolish  

BYSTANDER EFFECT CANDY  SAW  A  GIRL  DROPPED  ALL  HER  STUFF  BECAUSE  SHE  WAS  BUMPED  BY  SOMEONE.  

CANDY  AND  HER  FRIENDS  DECIDED  NOT  TO  HER  BECAUSE  THEY  THINK  THAT  SOMEONE  ELSE  WILL  HELP  THAT  GIRL.
