BBC World Service - Health Check, The Kindness Test

What does kindness mean to you? Take part in a new public science project to investigate kindness.

When was the last time you did something really kind for someone or someone else did something really kind for you? 

Claudia Hammond and guests are looking at the place of kindness in today’s world, asking what it really means, what happens in our brains when we act kindly and whether there can ever be a role for it in the cut-throat worlds of business and politics. She hears what kindness means to people in Kenya, Chile and in the UK. And with many aspects of kindness remaining under-researched, with your help Claudia and Robin Banerjee, Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Sussex, are asking you to fill in the gaps by taking part in the Kindness Test.

Presenter: Claudia Hammond
Producer:  Erika Wright
