Unit 10 - The IB Curriculum - A Conceptual Model

<ul>
	<li>What&#39;s it about? Think of it like shopping. You want to buy something, but first, you weigh the costs and rewards. It&#39;s the same when you decide whether to help someone.</li>
	<li>Real-world example: Imagine you see a lost dog. The arousal part is that initial feeling of &quot;Oh no, poor doggie!&quot; The cost-reward is like, &quot;Should I help find its owner? What if it bites? What if I get a big thank-you and doggie kisses?&quot; If the rewards feel bigger than the costs, you become a helper.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Bystander Effect: Ever see someone in trouble and think, &quot;Someone else will help?&quot; That&#39;s the bystander effect!</li>
	<li>Prosocial Behavior: This is when you do something good for others, like holding the door open for someone.</li>
	<li>Real-world example: Think of a crowded street. Someone drops their wallet. The bystander effect might make everyone think, &quot;Someone else will pick it up.&quot; Prosocial behavior is that one person who says, &quot;Not on my watch!&quot; and hands it back.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>What&#39;s it about?: Humans are complicated! You can&#39;t just put behaviors in neat little boxes.</li>
	<li>Real-world example: You know how your favorite pizza toppings don&#39;t always fit into &quot;I love meat&quot; or &quot;I&#39;m a vegetarian&quot;? Human behavior is like that pizza - it can have a mix of everything.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Bystander Effect &amp; Prosocial Behavior Together: These concepts aren&#39;t isolated; they intertwine like a pretzel!</li>
	<li>Real-world example: Ever see a movie where one person stands up to a bully, and then everyone else joins in? That&#39;s the bystander effect turning into prosocial behavior.</li>
</ul>

Discussion Points

<ul>
	<li>Stereotypes &amp; Social Roles: These can affect whether or not someone helps. Girls might have been less likely to help on the subway due to social roles at the time.</li>
	<li>In-group vs Out-group: If you feel more connected to someone (like the same race), you might be more likely to help. It&#39;s like cheering for your school&#39;s team versus a rival.</li>
</ul>

Whether it&#39;s deciding to help a lost dog, being the hero who returns a dropped wallet, or unraveling the mysteries of human behavior on a subway, psychology teaches us that our actions aren&#39;t as simple as we might think. It&#39;s a wild ride of costs, rewards, stereotypes, and some serious thinking about pizza (or behavior).
