Kindness Is Contagious

Kindness Is Contagious

Observing the psychological aspects of kindness, witnessing a kind act makes one feel a ‘warm glow’ in our hearts, something which researchers call moral elevation.

When people watch other people being generous and kind, it inspires and motivates them to want to do good.

Reasons For Kindness Attracting

When people observe kindness or generosity, they may be subtly pressured to look good and be more giving themselves. But this is just one of the minor reasons, as many act in an anonymous manner.

Seeing the other person being kind, people get to unconsciously copy their behaviour as the prosocial desire for goodness is rekindled.

Research On Kindness: The Findings

  • Women seem to be affected (or motivated) more than men by the kind behaviour of other people.
  • A kind act on the street, or on TV had the same effect on people.
  • The kind of kindness witness related to the response of the witness. If the act was praising, for instance, the response would be similar.
  • If a lot of time passed between witnessing the act and trying to act in a similar manner, the giving impetus diminished.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
