2. Which piece of evidence best demonstrates a link between brain function and kindness?
O A "We know that deciding to be generous or cooperating
with others activates an area of the brain called the
striatum. Interestingly, this area responds to things we
find rewarding" ( Paragraph 2)
OB “Of course, you don't have to scan brains to see that
kindness has this kind of benefit. Research in
psychology shows a link between kindness and well-
being throughout life, starting at a very young age." (
Paragraph 3)
OC "But why and how does kindness make us so happy?
There are a number of different mechanisms involved,
and how powerful they are in making us feel good may
depend on our personalities." ( Paragraph 4)
OD "Most people would like to think of themselves as a kind
person, so acts of kindness help us to demonstrate that
positive identity and make us feel proud of ourselves."
