Background:Small acts of kindness, such as offering compliments or helping others, are often overlooked as a means to improve mental well-being and manage stress. These acts, however, hold significant potential for enhancing psychological health through positive social interactions and neurochemical benefits.Objective:To investigate the impact of small acts of kindness on mental health and stress levels and to analyze their effectiveness as a simple, accessible intervention for improving well-being.Methodology:A mixed-methods study involving 265 participants aged 18–65 years was conducted over eight weeks. Participants were divided into an experimental group (engaging in daily acts of kindness) and a control group (no specific instructions). Quantitative data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), while qualitative feedback provided insights into participants' experiences.Results:The experimental group showed a 32.9% reduction in stress levels and a 25.7% improvement in mental health compared to minor changes in the control group. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between the groups (p<0.001p < 0.001p<0.001). Qualitative feedback highlighted increased positivity, improved social connections, and a reduction in personal stress.Conclusion:It is concluded that small acts of kindness are a powerful and accessible tool for improving mental health and reducing stress. Promoting kindness through personal practices and organizational initiatives can foster a culture of compassion, contributing to individual and societal well-being.
