the other night (monday 4/2/07) at about 10:30ish i was driving back to college from an emergency ear appointment (bad infection) when i saw a car ran off the road and a girl jumping and waving her arms for help. I couldn't help but think about some things i've learned in my psychology and sociology class about "bystander apathy" where the more people there are witnessing something tragic, the more likely they are to experience the feeling of "someone else will help" and ignore it. well i decided that i would be the one to stand out and help (and i also have a soft spot for comforting people and helping them). i brought her into my car, turned on the heat, called 911 and helped her take care of anything else. she was fine psychically (possibly only a minor concussion that i saw). but all in all everything turned out alright. now your probably wondering what this all has to do with the image lol well i made this for her (got her phone number and email address so i could check up on her at later times) as a sort of 'well wishes' for her, that everything would be alright :-)

A beautifully gentle image - soft, misty and flowery swirls...

So knowledge of the psychological effects of, say, groups can change behaviour? Very interesting. I wonder if there's any psychological data on the effects of awareness of previous psychological data in these areas...

You should be careful, though. I'm sure you know that. So should the womon you picked up. I expect she knows that, too... You know what I mean, right?

Anyway, well done and/but take care (both of you!).

i was careful lol i kept her in my car until the cop finally showed up (she couldnt very well stay in hers, it was totalled and she was to traumatized to go back there). but i was able to calm her down just by talkin to her. actualyl i was abelt o make her laugh a few times so i was glad i was able to help at least in some way.

as to the psychology stuff, i made the decision to stop based on my own feelings telling me that i should and that stuff that i remembered from my classes :-)

thanks for your comment
