This study looks at how personality traits affect how kind young people in India are. A cross-sectional study method was used to look at the 154 participants, whose ages ranged from 18 to 25. They were given self-report surveys that asked about their personality traits and how helpful they were to others. The Big Five Inventory (BFI) was used to test personality traits like agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. Items from well-known tests were used to measure kindness. The results showed that Agreeableness and Conscientiousness were linked to prosocial action in a good way. This means that these personality traits might be able to tell you about someone's tendency to work with others or help others. It wasn't very strong of a link between neuroticism and openness to experience, but it was stronger between extraversion and helping others. These results show how important it is to think about people's mental traits when coming up with ways to get them to be more altruistic. By recognising and capitalising on the effects of personality traits, educators, lawmakers, and practitioners can make personalised plans to build a community that works together and cares for each other. Important goals for future research include figuring out limitations like reaction biases, proving causation through longitudinal studies, and making sure the results can be used with different types of people.
