ABSTRACT
The importance of personal qualities like gratitude and altruism for human well-being has been emphasised by positive psychology. Altruism is the act of genuinely wanting to help others rather than doing so out of obligation, loyalty, or religious duty. This study focused on finding the relationship between gratitude and altruism. Positive psychology research consistently finds a strong correlation between gratitude and better lives. Gratitude improves one’s capacity for joy, appreciation of enjoyable memories, wonderful health, and capability for overcoming challenges. Between the ages of 19 and 27, 50 participants—25 boys and 25 girls—participated in the study. Altruism scale by Dr. S.N Rai and Dr. Sanwat Singh and the Gratitude Questionnaire – Six Item Form were used to measure the relationship between gratitude and altruism. SPSS was used to analyze the data. The two variables have a very slight positive relationship, as indicated by the Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.087.
