Introduction
In this project, we were assigned to make a video clip in a group of four. The video
clip must incorporate the concepts learned in class. Besides making a video clip,
we need to produce a report and present the clip to the class. This project allows
students to recognize and identify the connections among the concepts and
perspectives within psychology and with other disciplines. In addition, it allows
students to engage in psychological inquiry and become self-regulated learners.
From this project, we learned to have critical analysis and demonstrate our
understanding to the development of our video clip. This assignment provides an
opportunity for us to be a lifelong learner through developing a method of self-
reflection in the individual’s own learning process. However, it also increase our
understanding towards human relationships and increase our communication
skills.
Each of our group members play a part in the video. The main protagonist will be
Pui Chun Shian, known as Chun in the video, a boy who wanted to have a change
of himself. Loh Mun Tong plays part as Mun who’s been a friend who always
supporting Chun. Leong Li Jing as class lecturer and Teo Chiang Long who play
part as skinny version of Chun.

Story synopsis
The story starts with Chun, the main character in this story. Chun is taking
Foundation in Natural and Built Environment in Taylor’s University. He is a
hardworking student but he always late to class. He is also a friendly person and
easily liked by people. Chun met his best friend, Mun in the first semester of
foundation.
New semester started, Chun late to class again as usual. He met his new course
mate, Crystal. Chun fell in love at the first sight. The friendship between Chun and
Crystal is getting better day by day. Mun feel sad and jealous. Chun starts to tell
Mun how he feels towards Crystal and how good Crystal is but Mun just ignore
him. One day, Chun and Mun are texting and Mun told Chun that Crystal likes
skinny guy. Chun also found that Crystal is stalking skinny guy photos. He started
to think a lot that Crystal might like someone who is skinny. Therefore, he decided
to change himself.
Mun gives her support to Chun to help him achieve his target – to be a skinny guy.
Few months later, he achieved what he want. His hard works paid off. He decided
to confess his feeling towards Crystal. Mun supports him. Sadly, he get rejected
by Crystal and feeling down for days. Mun tries to comfort him and encourage
him to be happy. Chun starts to eat a lot and day by day past, he becomes the old
him again.
One day, Chun and Mun are sitting at the lakeside. Chun calms down himself and
starts to flashback the memories with Mun. He realized that there is something
between them. Before they leave, Chun holds out his hand to Mun and Mun holds
it back.
Love is not based on how good you look, but how good your heart is.

Concepts
We used 5 psychological concepts in our video clip, they are first impression, false
consensus, looking glass self-theory, self-fulfilling prophecy and love and
belonging.
First Impression
In psychology, first impression are impression made instantaneously toward a
person whom you just met. Impression accuracy varies depending on observer
and the target being observed. First impressions are based on a wide range of
characteristics: age, race, culture, language, gender, physical
appearance, accent, posture and voice. The first impressions individuals give to
others could greatly influence how they are treated and viewed in many contexts
of everyday life. First impression may be instantaneous and research finds that
impressions are made only at 10 seconds. People often decide how others are like
in 2 effects. They are primacy effect and recency effect. Primacy effect is the first
piece of information we receive and recency effect is the last piece of information
we receive. Both effects can cause a large impact on our impression. However,
people also tend to make mistake when forming the first impression of others.
They assume that people who look more attractive have many other good
qualities while that might be completely wrong in some cases.
In the story, although Chun is not good looking but he was being friendly and
outgoing at making new friends on the first day of University. So, he had
developed a first impression towards his new friends in which he was a kind and
funny person. However, Chun also caused a bad impression towards his lecturer
as he was late during the first day of class during the semester start.

False Consensus
In psychology, the false-consensus effect or false-consensus bias is a cognitive
bias whereby a person tends to overestimate the extent to which their opinions,
beliefs, preferences, values, and habits are normal and typical of those of others
(i.e., that others also think the same way that they do). This cognitive bias tends
to lead to the perception of a consensus that does not exist, a "false consensus".
False consensus effect has appears in this scenarios when Chun directly put a
conclusion that Crystal is always into skinny boys. It happens when Chun walked
out from the campus library and accidentally saw Crystal were scrolling through
some thin figure boys pictures with her mobile phone. Next, with additional
information by Mun that stating Crystal was always favourite in skinny looking
boys especially her idol - Justin Bieber. But in fact Crystal wouldn’t easily fall for a
person just because he has a thin figure, instead she would rather go for the heart
first.Chun tend to overestimate Crystal’s spouse criteria with his own beliefs,
values and behaviors. This creates a false consensus, which can influence his
decisions and perspectives.
Looking-glass Self
The looking-glass self is a social psychological concept, created by Charles Horton
Cooley stating that a person's self grows out of society's interpersonal
interactions and the perceptions of others. The term refers to people shaping
their self-concepts based on their understanding of how others perceive them.
Cooley clarified that society is an interweaving and inter-working of mental
selves. The looking-glass self a person views himself or herself through others'
perceptions in society and in turn gains identity. Identity, or self, is the result of
the concept in which we learn to see ourselves as others do. The looking-glass self
begins at an early age and continues throughout the entirety of a person’s life as
one will never stop modifying their self unless all social interactions are ceased.
10

Chun decided not to stay with his original appearance. Chun shaping his self-
concept based on Crystal’s spouse criteria. He decided to lose weight and
becoming thin since he is assuming Crystal only into skinny looking guys. Chun
is forming his self-image with idea of Crystal’s.
Self-fulfilling Prophecy
A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to
become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback
between belief and behavior. Any positive or negative expectations about
circumstances, events, or people that may affect a person’s behavior toward
them in a manner that he or she (unknowingly) creates situations in which those
expectations are fulfilled. ‘In other words, causing something to happen by
believing it will come true.’
By putting the idea that he will become a thin figure guy, Chun started off his
daily workout routine without hesitation. He is confident that he’s able to slim
down and turn-over his self-appearance. He is living the way of life similar as a
thin guy, for example jogging on the evening and cutting down his meal portion.
With the supporting and motivating by Mun, Chun is delighted with the new
outcome. After a period of time, Chun successfully slimmed down and achieved
his goals, his expectations do come true too.
Love and Belonging
The hierarchy of needs is one of the best-known theories of motivation. This
theory is created by psychologist Abraham Maslow, and is displayed as a pyramid,
with the most basic needs at the bottom and more complex needs at the peak.
The pyramid includes 7 needs, they are physiological needs, safety and security,
love and belonging, self-esteem, intellectual aesthetic and self-actualization. As
we move up to the third level of Abraham Maslow Hierarchy of Needs, humans
need to love, acceptance and belonging. At this level, the need for emotional
relationships drives human behavior. Some of the things that satisfy this need
11

includes friendships, romantic attachments, family, social groups, community
groups, churches and religious organizations. In order to avoid problems such
as loneliness, depression, and anxiety, it is important for people to feel loved and
accepted by other people. Personal relationships with friends, family, and lovers
play an important role, as does involvement in other groups that might include
religious groups, sports teams, book clubs, and other group activities.
In the story, Chun and Mun had developed a great friendship. Mun encouraged
Chun to strive his goal and provides mental support to him. Mun is a great friend
of Chun.
