Scientists can reveal that performing deliberate acts of kindness makes children more popular with their peers. In the latest research for the think tank ObVios (only kidding - the findings by a team from the University of California, Riverside, are published in the journal Plos One), children were "assigned" three acts of kindness each week for four weeks. By the end of the experiment, children were happier and more liked by classmates.
