Abstract：
The Heroic Imagination Project (HIP) aims to redefine heroism as a set of habits that anyone can achieve. Research findings on the psychological foundations of negative forms of social influence that can lead to bystander behavior are translated into tools that individuals can use in their daily lives. Habits of wise and effective helping behavior are learned, modeled, and encouraged through the training of the \"heroic imagination.\" According to the literature, practicing mindfulness can increase empathy, compassion, and prosocial behaviors. There is empirical evidence that compassion can act as a mediator between mindfulness and prosocial helping behaviors toward strangers, suggesting that mindfulness promotes this behavior and thus helps to overcome the bystander effect. With this hypothesis in mind, we created a program that combined mindfulness and HIP sessions. Five participants volunteered to participate in the \"Creating Mindful Heroes\" 9-week program. Throughout the sessions, they filled in a diary, and at the end of the program, they answered two feedback questionnaires. They were then invited to participate in individual interviews. The participants reported a positive overall perspective regarding the program, mentioning several improvements in their relationships with their family, peers, and others in society. Moreover, participants reported that the program promoted prosocial behaviors and aided them in developing empathy.
摘要：
英雄想象力计划（HIP）旨在将英雄主义重新定义为任何人都可以实现的一套习惯。关于可能导致旁观者行为的负面形式的社会影响的心理基础的研究结果被转化为个人可以在日常生活中使用的工具。学会了明智和有效的帮助行为的习惯，建模，并通过“英雄想象力”的训练得到鼓励。\"根据文献,练习正念可以增加同理心，同情,和亲社会行为。有经验证据表明，同情心可以在正念和亲社会对陌生人的帮助行为之间起中介作用，这表明正念会促进这种行为，从而有助于克服旁观者效应。考虑到这个假设，我们创建了一个结合了正念和HIP会话的程序。五名参与者自愿参加了为期9周的“创建正念英雄”计划。在整个会议中，他们填写了日记，在节目结束时，他们回答了两份反馈问卷。然后他们被邀请参加个人面试。参与者报告了对该计划的积极总体看法，提到他们与家人的关系有所改善，同行,和社会上的其他人。此外，参与者报告说，该计划促进了亲社会行为，并帮助他们发展同理心。
