More research is needed to explore whether, and how, the impact of this practice extends to other groups and cultures.Ĭurry, O. For example, a 2019 study found that Americans who performed acts of kindness increased in well-being even more when they focused on the personal benefits of the practice compared to the benefits to others, although this was not true for South Koreans. However, the benefits may depend on how the practice is framed. South Koreans and Americans similarly increased in well-being when performing kind acts in a 2013 study.Japanese people who counted their own acts of kindness for one week became more happy, kind, and grateful. ![]() Female middle school students in Hong Kong who performed online acts of kindness increased in self-esteem and social self-efficacy.Male Chinese prisoners who were asked to perform three acts of kindness daily for six weeks significantly improved in well-being compared to those who did not.A 2014 study also found that Random Acts of Kindness “worked equally well regardless of participants’ gender, age, or education.”.After reviewing 10 studies testing this exercise, a 2018 review suggests that the overall effect of kindness on well-being is not significantly influenced by sex, age, or type of participant.While there is no demographic information in the study above, additional studies explore how this exercise benefits other groups and cultures: This may be because many acts of kindness are small, so spreading them out might make them harder to remember and savor. People who performed five acts of kindness every week for six weeks saw a significant boost in happiness, but only if they performed their five acts in a single day rather than spread out over each week.
