FOREIGN FIONA
STORYLINE1. Story started with a village girl from Malawi, whose name was Fiona. Because she
was the smartest girl in the village, her dad sent her to Taylor’s University in Malaysia to study. On the first day of class, she nearly fell, and was worried that people may look at her.
2. There were two classmates, named Min Chuen and Nazmi, who talked about how black people act and other negative assumptions about the new student.
3. After class, she went to a Chinese restaurant to grab some food. Being new to the way of eating, she had a hard time using chopsticks. She then looked to the table beside her, and learnt how Min Chuen used the chopsticks.
4. On the way back to class, she bumped into Shamil, who was talking on the phone in the middle of the way. Shamil got angry and started to get into an argument with Fiona. During the argument, many bystanders were looking at them, and had no intention in helping Fiona.
5. Fong Yen saw what happened and tried to help Fiona out. She told Shamil off and walked away with Fiona.
6. After that incident, Fiona got close to Fong Yen, and started hanging out since then.
Scene 1
Fiona walked into the class at the first day of her university life and she tripped over a chair.
1.THE SPOTLIGHT EFFECT
DEFINITION : The "Spotlight Effect" refers to the tendency to think that more people notice something about you than they do.
APPLICATION OF CONCEPT
For the first scene, spotlight effect occurred when Fiona, the main character nearly tripped in the class. This concept can be seen when she
thought to herself that everyone was looking at her.
Scene 2
Other students saw a new student, which is Fiona. And they discussed their opinion about her.
2.STEREOTYPE (RACISM)
DEFINITION : Stereotyping is the tendency to limit and disregard people’s individuality, which then leads to negative assumptions. When we stereotype people, we tend to group them based on their traits.
Stereotype can be seen in both Fiona’s classmates, Min Chuen and Nazmi. Stereotyping is seen when Nazmi told Min Chuen, black people often do
bad things and are dumb.
APPLICATION OF CONCEPT
Scene 3
After class, Fiona went to a Chinese restaurant. She didn’t know how to use the chopsticks. Instead of using fork and
spoon, she learnt how to use the chopsticks by observation.
3. OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING
DEFINITION:Observational learning is referred to as shaping, modelling or indirect reinforcement. A person watches others (models) engage in behaviours and then starts repeating the same actions after that.
APPLICATION OF CONCEPT
Fiona observed Min Chuen and learnt how to use the chopsticks to eat.
Scene 4
On the way back to class, she bumped into Shamil, who was talking on the phone in the middle of the way. Shamil
got angry and started to get into an argument with Fiona. During the argument, many bystanders were looking
at them, and had no intention in helping Fiona.
4. HOSTILE AGGRESSION
DEFINITION:Hostile aggression is a type of aggression that is driven by anger and performed as en end in itself.
Hostile aggression can be seen in Shamil who pushed Fiona just because she accidentally bumped into him. He even
wanted to start a fight with her, which was driven by his anger.
APPLICATION OF CONCEPT
5. THE BYSTANDER EFFECT
DEFINITION:The bystander effect occurs when the presence of others discourages an individual from intervening in an emergency situation
Even though, Shamil pushed Fiona and about to hit her in front of so many people, no one lent her hand in helping Fiona out. Everyone just stood still
and looked at them, the responsible is diffused
APPLICATION OF CONCEPT
Scene 5

After that incident, Fiona got close to Fong Yen, and started hanging out since then and at last they became
best friends.
6. MERE EXPOSURE EFFECT
DEFINITION:The mere exposure effect is a psychological phenomenon by which people tend to develop a preference for things or people that are more familiar to them than others.

out together and eventually, they became best friends.
