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 impatient. 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 initial impression we have of other people when we meet them for the first time

• The primacy effect

• The first piece of information we receive will have the most impact on our impression

•The recency effect

• The last piece of information we receive will also have a large impact on our impression

• One positive attribute will cause us to attribute other positive qualities 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 motivation refers to behavior that is driven by internal rewards.

•Occurs when we act without any obvious external rewards.

•Simply enjoy an activity

•Perform certain activities to inherent satisfaction 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 particular group of people

• Have positive or negative connotations

• Positive; enables us to respond rapidly to situation that we may have experience before

• Negative; makes us ignore differences between individuals

• Runs the risk of becoming prejudicial and leading to discrimination

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 Affecting the Decision to help:

Evaluation Apprehension

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

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

• Intervention 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.

LIKING DEFINITION:

Cialdini’s Six Weapons of Influence

LIKING ◦ We generally say "yes" to people we like and "no" to people we don’t

◦ More likely to be influence by people we like

◦ Likability come in many form, people might be similar or familiar to us, they might give us compliments, may just simply trust them

◦ People are more likely to buy from people like themselves, friends, and people they know and respect.

LIKING CANDY AND HER FRIEND SAW A GUY SELLING WATER AND TRIED TO BUY IT. BUT THAT GUY WAS REALLY RUDE TO THEM.

HE THEN JUST WALK AWAY AND CANDY TRIED TO TALK TO HIM BUT WAS PUSHED INSTEAD…
