Kindness key to fostering altruistic behavior in Orang Asli adolescents.
The study looked at how being kind affects Orang Asli teenagers' willingness to help others. They found that being kind plays a big role in how much these teenagers help others. When teenagers feel close to their parents, they are more likely to help others in a kind way. Also, feeling connected to their ethnic group makes them more likely to help others, but not as much as feeling close to their parents. This shows that being kind and feeling connected to their family and community are important for these teenagers to help others in a caring way.
