[tips] student question - terror
Sorry in advance for cross-posting! I had a student approach me after class today with an interesting question. He is interested in writing a horror story, but he is looking for some psychological insight on terror specifically, what makes us afraid, and how that might be different from horror more broadly. I couldn't give him any resources off the top of my head that would apply to writing, but I thought someone on this list might have some ideas. If you have any suggestions for resources I can recommend to this student, I would really appreciate it. Christine L.

Re: [tips] student question - terror
My colleague Sheldon Solomon and his colleagues talk about terror management theory. Apparently contemplating one's demise has an impact on one's world view. ;-) Hugh On Oct 24, 2013, at 3:40 PM, Christine Grela cgr...@mchenry.edumailto:cgr...@mchenry.edu wrote: Sorry in advance for cross-posting!

[tips] student question
Hi All: I received these questions from a student. I am hoping your collective wisdom will give me a good answer. How common is it and why do people who are innocent feel guilty? For example, when someone else is reprimanded, why does an onlooker suddenly flush and feel guilty? Or when a person accuses someone who is innocent, why do they suddenly feel shame even though they know that they are innocent? And what is the distinguishing factor that causes this feeling in some people but not others? Thanks! Joe Joseph J. Horton, Ph. D.

Re: [tips] student question
I would go to the literature on empathy on this one. I expect the explanation would be similar to why we feel sad when we learn of a tragedy that happened to some one we know (or watching such things in a film). A more difficult question is why some people confess to criminal behavior they did not commit. There are documented cases of false confessions later exonerated through DNA evidence in the Innocence Project and Department of Justice case studies. _ Claudia J.

RE: [tips] student question
I agree with Claudia that empathy is the best starting point. You will find some good leads to relevant research in Beyond revenge: The evolution of the forgiveness instinct by Michael McCullough. I am sure that you can find it at your favorite online book seller.

Re: [tips] student question
My initial thought would be that being reprimanded or accused of a misdeed in childhood was an emotionally charged event, conditioning the innocent person to have the conditioned response of blushing or ashamed simply due to it's previous association with scoldings and possibly other punishments during childhood.

Quite unlike any city I've ever seen - a wild mix of classic Southern architecture intermixed with a decidedly bohemian flavor. Never been myself but I did see the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I found the amount of drinking unusual. And the invisible dog. Not sure why they selected it for Ralston College (first I've heard of this), although it seems to have just the right amount of quirkiness for such an endeavor. Back in the 1960's, one would have expected to see such a college in California or thereabouts. I guess that that part of the country has lost its charm. If I recall correctly, the John Cusack character in the film version of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil referred to Savannah as Gone with the Wind on mescaline. That's about right. Yes, you recall correctly. I recall there being problems with electricity, an unhealthy interest in Alabama college football, and a cavalier attitude towards firearms such as where a matronly type pulls out a pistol at a party and says I'm going to shoot me a man!. Also, Cusack/Kelso's playing a tape of NYC street noises in order to get asleep.
