“…For college students, peers are an important source for individuals to obtain instrumental help and emotional support, and the quality of peer relationship will significantly affect individual development and adaptation. A good interpersonal relationship can help college students to obtain a variety of effective social support; provide material, information, and spiritual support; increase their sense of belonging, pleasure, self-esteem, and self-confidence; improve interpersonal adaptability; and enhance SWB ( Li et al, 2018 ). Good relationships help people live longer, feel happier, and have better physical and mental health.…”

Mandala drawing was first practiced by Tibetan buddhists and then developed by Carl Gustav Jung, who felt certain that mandala drawing has the function of integrating psychological division, enhancing psychological harmony, and preserving personality integrity. Previous studies on mandala drawing have mainly focused on alleviating people’s negative emotions, such as anxiety and depression. Therefore, this study explored the effect and mechanism of mandala drawing on the improvement of subjective well-being (SWB), mindfulness, and spirituality from positive psychology’s viewpoint and compared the different effects of cooperative mandala drawing (CMD) and individual mandala drawing (IMD) on mindfulness, spirituality, and SWB. A total of 76 students were recruited from Chang Gung University, and the aforementioned three main variables were measured before and after the coloring experiment. The results indicated that both CMD and IMD significantly enhanced the subjects’ spirituality. Compared with IMD, CMD has a more significant improvement and promotion effect on SWB of subjects by affecting PA, while IMD had no significant effect on PA, and the enhancement effect of SWB was weaker than that of CMD. Mindfulness, spirituality, and SWB all positively correlated with each other. This study highlights the mechanism of mandala drawing and the theoretical understanding of the relationship between mindfulness and SWB. Mandala drawing especially CMD has a positive effect on spirituality and SWB, which may provide individuals with a simple and easy method to improve their happiness.

“…So, it can be concluded that one of the effort to develop altruism is to increase people's empathy. The empathy referred to by Farsides (2007), Fry and Runyan (2017) and Li et al (2018) is similar to the opinion of Batson (2011), which is empathic concern. Research shows that empathy is a competency that can be taught (Riess, 2017).…”

“…Research shows that empathy is a determinant of altruism (Farsides, 2007;Fry & Runyan, 2017;Li, Jiang, Yong, & Zhou, 2018). In addition, it is more likely for empathetic individuals to provide help to people in need (Dixon, 2011;Gordon, 2009).…”

Altruism is an important factor in maintaining the continuity of social life in society, especially in high diversity communities such as Indonesia. Research shows individuals tend to show altruistic behavior in other people who have similarities with them, such as gender, ethnicity, religion, and race so that altruism in a multicultural environment tends to be difficult to be formed. Therefore, altruism needs to be developed early in school. The right age to develop altruism is at the age of 11-12 years or in the fifth grade of elementary school. So it can be assumed that the effort to develop altruism will be more effective if done in elementary schools. This article was written to explore various efforts to develop altruism that can be done at the elementary school level based on the theory of Batson's altruistic empathy hypothesis. This is because the helping behavior carried out on the basis of empathy can certainly be included in the altruist category.

“…A special role of communicating family emotions (affective family relations) may confirm that prosocial behaviours are generated due to manipulation of the affective environment during the development of an individual (Mac Donald 1984;Smith 1988;Okeafor and Chukwujekwu 2017;Booysen et al 2018), and subsequently, repeating behaviours of this type in the situations of daily life. Other researchers identified regular blood donation, having a relative or a friend who has already been registered as PBMD, having a relative or a friend who needs bone marrow transplantation, family discussions about donation, knowledge about bone marrow transplantation, and trust in health professionals or staying in partnerships, as predictive factors of the decision to register as PBMD (Nolan and Spanos 1989;Galanis et al 2008;Sikora et al 2014;Li et al 2018). The scope of problems concerning family donor transplantations has also been undertaken -evolutionary psychology suggests that prosocial/altruistic behaviour among family members is primarily the result of adaptation to family and reciprocal altruism, according to the degree of genetic relatedness and exchange of benefits (Webster 2003;Stewart-Williams 2007;Curry et al 2013).…”

Most of the studies about donation decisions focus on some personality factors, self-esteem or some family characteristics as separate sources of influence and do not take into account interdependence of these variables. The study attempts to conceptualize and validate an integrative framework, based on SCT A. Bandura, incorporating personal, environmental and behavioural determinants of the decision to register as a potential bone marrow donor. The study hypothesizes and tests the interdependent variables model of personality traits, self-esteem, practical past prosocial behaviours and family functionality as the key determinants of the decision of registration as potential bone marrow donor (PBMD) on the sample of 305 Polish young adults aged 18-25 years. The study was conducted using Polish versions of the following questionnaires: TIPI by Gosling et al. for measurement of the Big Five personality traits, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), PBQ (based on the Self-Report Altruism Scale by Rushton) by Moroń, and Family Apgar scale by Smilkstein for assessing family function. The results obtained due to using a hybrid data-mining' techniques LR and CART, allow the formulation of predictive equations defining the probability of making the decision to register as a potential bone marrow donor as a result of personality traits of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and self-esteem, as well as positive affect in family modelling and adaptation. However, the negative role of past prosocial behaviours, also demonstrated in research, requires further explanations. Although these methods may supplement the existing statistical models and contribute to the interpretation of factors of decision concerning the registration as a PBMD, further testing of the model according to the investigated variables requires the use of casual modelling methods in order to verify hypotheses concerning the occurrence of a specified structure of relationships between these variables.
