Altruism

Altruism is the principle and moral practice of concern for the happiness of other human beings or other animals, resulting in a higher quality of life both material and spiritual.

It is a traditional virtue in many cultures and a core aspect of various religious traditions and secular worldviews.

In psychological research on altruism, studies often observe altruism as demonstrated through prosocial behaviors such as helping, comforting, sharing, cooperation, philanthropy, and community service.
