In a recent New York Times article, "The
Science of 'Paying it Forward,'" two Cornell University researchers shared
their latest findings on kindness chains.
They explored the possibility that generosity can become "socially
contagious" and cited prior experiments about the ripple effect of
kindness. Their conclusions: Observing kindness can play a significant
role in setting in motion a "cascade of generosity," but personally
benefitting from a kind act (such as having the person ahead of you in line pay
for your coffee) is what sustains the cascade.
What can each
of us do to inspire kindness in others today?
