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."
