Reading the news, it is easy to feel the change and despair of human nature. However, recent research in the field of psychology shows that human beings are not as selfish and greedy as they sometimes seem. One study after

another shows that most people help others and that this help improves the

lives of others. Let's take a look at these investigations. When someone does

us a favor, we do it to others: You may have heard, It's a series. When a person

helps someone a little, the one who is helped also helps someone else.

Research from Northeastern University in the United States has shown that

people are really eager to help others, and this is because they feel grateful or

grateful. An experiment was conducted on this issue in which the participants

encountered a problem on the computer during the study. When someone

time solving someone else's computer problem. In other words, when someone is kind to us And when we are grateful for it, it motivates us to help others. We are happier when we help others: psychologist Elizabeth Dawn and colleagues conducted a study. Participants were given a small amount to spend on the day.

Participants could spend it wherever they wanted. One condition was that

half of the participants had to spend money on themselves and half on others.

What the researchers learned from the participants over the course of the day

may surprise you. Participants who spent money on others were happier than

those who spent money on themselves. Connecting with others makes life

more meaningful: Carol Reef, a psychologist, has a reputation for researching

the "theory of the meaning of life." It means a sense of meaning and purpose

in life. According to Reef, our relationship with others is one of the key

components of meaning and purpose in life.

An investigation has found evidence in his favor. Participants in this study

who spent more time helping others had a greater sense of purpose and

meaning. The same study also found that participants who wrote a thank-you

note had a greater sense of meaning. This research shows that taking the time

to help others or expressing gratitude to them actually makes life more

meaningful. Helping others prolongs life.

Psychologist Stephanie Brown and her colleagues sought to find out if helping

others prolongs life. He asked participants how much time they spend helping others Over a five-year period, Brown found that participants who spent most of

their time helping others had the lowest risk of death. In other words, those

who help others actually help themselves. In this way, many people can hope

for a long life by helping others. It is possible to be more empathetic: Carol

Duke of Stanford University, USA, conducted extensive research on

"mindsets". On the one hand, there are people with a "flexible mindset" who

thinkthey can get better if they try.

However, those with a "static mindset" think that their abilities cannot be

changed much. Duke found that when people believe they can get better, they

are more likely to get better over time. Similarly, the increase in empathy over

time is related to the mindset. Successive investigations have shown that

"flexible mindsets" and encouraging empathy increase empathy.

One of the leading newspapers wrote that "empathy is a choice." We can say

that empathy is not something that happens to a few people, anyone can

create it and increase it. If we were to search, we would find many examples

that would shake faith in humanity. Of course, there is a lot of crime in this

world. Then human history is full of wars. Humans killed each other on a large

scale in these wars. Opponents were also tortured in a way that is unimaginable

But there is another side to it. Mankind has been peaceful for a longtime.

Wars have seldom happened. Therefore, wars and crimes cannot fully explain

the human psyche and nature. These studies give us an opportunity to look at

the human psyche in a new way. They show how important the spirit of

helping others is. When one is helped, he is ready to help the other. Man does

not find happiness in fighting and strife, but the help of others makes him happy.

It gives him peace of mind. Even in human society, this process is valued and

those who support others are considered respected and honored. Humans

live in society. They want to keep in touch with other human beings, to share

in their suffering. It is also gratifying that the satisfaction we get from helping

others prolongs our life.
