Highlights • In a randomized controlled experiment, people who performed kind acts for others showed favorable changes in immune cell gene expression profiles. • Gene expression changes represented reductions in the conserved transcriptional response to adversity (CTRA). • No significant changes in CTRA gene expression were observed in a control condition or for people who performed kind acts for the world in general or for themselves. • These results may help explain previously observed health advantages associated with prosocial behavior.
