It feels good to do good, so people find numerous ways to help others and spread kindness. Some, though, turn to somewhat unconventional ways to accomplish their good deeds, which results in what can only be called ‘Chaotic Good’.

Have A Terrible Hoa? Here’s A Thought

A Very Effective Method Indeed

Research suggests that people who express strong altruistic behavior have a more active—and sometimes even larger—right amygdala, which is responsible for the way we feel and perceive emotions in others; fear especially. That’s why it’s arguably safe to assume that the level of altruism is tied to people’s neurologically driven ability to perceive and empathize with others’ fears and vulnerabilities.

Pretty Wholesome

It pointed out that it can be witnessed not only among people, but in the animal kingdom as well; for example, among worker bees that “choose feeding the hive’s young over reproducing” or ravens that alert others of their species of a food supply they all can share.

When it comes to people, their level of altruistic tendencies often depends on certain factors, such as age and social proximity of the other person, as well as the nature of what is being sacrificed in order to help others.A 2017 studyrevealed that people feel less altruistic sentiment to those who are more socially distant; for instance, they might not help a stranger, but they would a relative in a similar situation. It also suggested that individuals tend to feel more health altruistic towards young kids and more wealth altruistic towards adults, showing that altruism can be somewhat situational.

Chaotic Good En Masse

It’s not only adults feeling altruistic towards kids, though; children as little as two years exhibit signs of seeking to help others as well.Studies suggestthat toddlers feel greater happiness when sharing treats rather than getting them themselves. In addition to that, they feel more content giving up their resources rather than sharing something at no cost.

A Mildly Chaotic Good

Luckily, people seemingly don’t grow out of feeling happy about doing good when they exit the toddler years. Based on Michael Steger’s—a psychologist at the University of Louisville in Kentucky—findings, good deeds (even if somewhat chaotic, in my opinion) make people happy.He carried outa studyassessing people’s involvement in pleasure-seeking behavior, versus meaningful activities, such as helping others or listening to people’s problems. Steger learned that the extent to which people participated in meaningful activities was positively linked to their level of happiness; pleasure-seeking behavior, on the other hand, didn’t seem to reap similar rewards.

In addition to the sporadic cases of chaotic good, people also take up volunteering—another activity arguably capable of restoring one’s faith in humanity.According to TeamStage, over a billion people globally take part in volunteering, whose labor equals to over 109 million full-time workers.
