Description
“Day of Compassion” and try your absolute best to live each minute of that day as compassionately as possible. In other words, for a full 24-hour period you should do your best to reduce suffering of others, help those in need, be considerate and respectful, and avoid causing harm to any living being. Please note, you should still follow social distancing etc. and even consider what it means to be compassionate during a pandemic and considering current events/circumstances.
When carrying out this assignment, leave no behavior unexamined — from surfing the internet to eating meals to decisions about giving time or money to others. That is, don’t limit yourself to simply holding the door open for a stranger or petting a lonely dog; think about all the unnecessary suffering in the world, and strive for the greatest impact and deepest level of compassion without being phony or insincere. It is up to you to define what compassion is and to decide how best to realize it.
If you are already quite compassionate, try being compassionate toward groups you don’t often focus on, and even if your actions don’t differ much from how you normally behave, carefully observe and analyze what transpires during the day. If outside events make it difficult for you to participate on the designated day, or if you feel dissatisfied with your performance of the assignment, feel free to repeat the exercise on a later day.
Note: To minimize any bias in social reactions, it is best if you do not tell others about the class assignment until after the Day of Compassion is over.
Part 2: Write About Your Experience
By 5 pm Saturday December 5, submit a social psychological analysis of what the day was like. Here are a few sample questions you might address (you do not have to address all of these questions):
How did you define compassion, and who were you compassionate toward?
If your behavior was different than normal, which person did you like more: the “Day of Compassion you” or the “normal you”? If you preferred the “Day of Compassion you,” what are the psychological factors that prevent this “you” from coming out?
Why do we especially need compassion now, considering current events in our country and world? How do we increase and demonstrate compassion in the midst of a stressful pandemic and other challenging current events?
What are the psychological costs and benefits of behaving compassionately? In your view, do the benefits outweigh the costs?
How did others respond to your compassion? Do you think they noticed a difference in your behavior? What attributions did people make for your behavior, and why?
If you wanted to encourage others to behave as you did during the Day of Compassion, what psychological techniques would you
use? How can social psychology be used to foster compassion?
If you were to predict your behavior one month from now, do you think it will be changed in any way as a result of participating in the Day of Compassion? If so, how? If not, why not?
