DRIVE MAY 2008 IN GOOD COMPANY: Bonnaroo! ✹ The Ultimate Weekend ✹ America’s Best Roller Coasters FROM THE EDITOR As graduation approached, I started looking back on my favorite experiences from the past four years. After a bit of think- ing, I realized that my fondest college memories all included the same thing: Road trips. Many of these trips involved travelling to see bands with my best friend Drew. I remember each concert vividly, whether it was the quick drive to Rochester to see Jose Gonzalez or the 16-hour drive to Tennessee to attend the four-day Bonnaroo music festival. Other trips centered around my family, which includes my parents and three younger brothers. Camping in places like Maine, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and along the St. Law- rence River made me appreciate being outdoors much more than I ever thought I would. Yet, other trips stemmed from love, like the 10-hour drive I made with my brother Sean and “fourth brother” Ryan to visit my boyfriend Steve in Cape May. My excitement to see Steve, combined with riding with two of the funniest people I know, made the drive down so much more than just a drive. And then I took other trips, namely those with my roommates Sarah and Jess, that were fun simply because they weren’t focused at all. It never mattered if we ended up sleeping in a $250 Jacuzzi suite or in the back of a diesel truck. The fun was not knowing. So I created this magazine as a way to both celebrate, and remember, my favorite college memories. But really, to celebrate the people who made them my favorites.

DRIVE 5 ONE WAY NOISE SOLUTION A six-hour drive across the flatlands of South Dakota gets pretty dull without some music. Rather than suffering through a round of 99 Bottles of Beer, bring your own tunes. Use this guide to find the right iPod accessory for your car.

Compatible with: Any iPod, MP3 player, or CD player Where it connects to car: In-dash cassette player Where it connects to iPod: Headphone jack Charges iPod: No. You’ll need to buy a car charger ($18.99, Target) if you want to keep your iPod alive through long drives. Who picks the next song?

  • Mass Gatherings, Health, and Well‐Being
    Social Issues and Policy Review, Vol. 00, No. 0, 2020, pp. 1--32 DOI: 10.1111/sipr.12071 Mass Gatherings, Health, and Well-Being: From Risk Mitigation to Health Promotion ∗ Nick Hopkins University of Dundee Stephen Reicher University of St. Andrews Mass gatherings are routinely viewed as posing risks to physical health. How- ever, social psychological research shows mass gathering participation can also bring benefits to psychological well-being. We describe how both sets of outcomes can be understood as arising from the distinctive forms of behavior that may be found when people—even strangers—come to define themselves and each other in terms of a shared social identity. We show that many of the risks and benefits of participation are products of group processes; that these different outcomes can have their roots in the same core processes; and that knowledge of these process provides a basis for health promotion interventions to mitigate the risks and max- imize the benefits of participation. Throughout, we offer practical guidance as to how policy makers and practitioners should tailor such interventions. Mass gatherings take many forms: large-scale religious pilgrimages (e.g., the hajj), sporting events (e.g., the World Cup), music festivals (e.g., Glaston- bury), regional and national commemorative events (e.g., St Patrick’s Day cele- brations), etc. Some are short-lived, others span days, even weeks. Some attract a few thousand, others, hundreds of thousands. Perhaps the most striking of all are the Kumbh Mela and the Magh Mela, each of which attract millions of Hindu pil- grims to the banks of the Ganga (north India) for a full month (Buzinde, Kalavar, Kohli, & Manuel-Navarrete, 2014; Hopkins et al., 2015; Maclean, 2008).
