OBS

Program aimed at teaching children what to do if they become lost. The name of the program is derived from its primary message : If you’re lost, stay put-hug a tree-until help arrive

OBS

Inspired by the search for nine year old Jimmy Beveridge in 1981 in southern California, and initiated by the caring heart of Ab Taylor, the Hug-A-Tree and Survive program teaches children how to survive in the woods should they become lost. The program was developed to educate children in a select few of the most basic and vital survival principles. It was specifically designed for children between the ages of 7 and 11 but can be effective with slightly younger and older children. The program derives its name from its primary message : If you are lost, stay put-hug a tree-until help arrives.

Subject field(s)
  • Social Psychology

CONT

People must be shown what they can do to produce results in a supportive, collaborative and positively reinforcing manner. The "feel good" approach is ineffective as well. Consumers want facts. "Warm and fuzzies" help sell the message but do not cause people to act on it.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie sociale

CONT

Il faut plutôt «montrer» aux gens ce qu'ils peuvent faire pour produire des résultats en misant sur les encouragements, la coopération et le renforcement positif. L'approche «je me sens bien» est également inefficace. Les consommateurs veulent des faits. «De la chaleur et des explications fumeuses» peuvent aider à vendre le message, mais ne suffisent pas à pousser les gens à agir.
