Altruistic acts can improve one's quality of life in several ways, and can actually help in relieving stress. Studies showed that altruism is good for emotional well-being, and can enhance peace of mind. In the present study a correlational design was used to determine the role of altruistic behavior in determining Stress among Rheumatoid Arthritis patients. The sample of the study consisted of 32 Patients (male and female); with the age range of 20-60 years. The sample was taken from different hospitals of Agra city. Altruistic behavior was measured by Life Style Scale by Das and Chaudhary. Stress was measured by ICMR Psychosocial Stressor Questionnaire by Srivastav. Coefficient of correlation between Altruistic behavior and Stress indicated a significant negative relationship (r= -0.557). Further, Regression Analysis indicated that Altruistic behavior has high contribution (b= -2.661) in the determination of stress. So, it can be concluded that as the altruistic behavior increases stress level of patients' decreases. If one wants to gain a more positive perspective towards life events that reduces stress then they are advised to start helping others.Keywords
