Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative study was to
look into the connection between middle-aged adults' well-being and prosocial
behavior in Meerut city. The study used a narrative methodology and
concentrated on people who regularly assisted others and satisfied certain
inclusion requirements. Through their involvement with NGOs, social work, or
situations in which they risked their lives to help others, these individuals
have made significant contributions to society. The study aimed to understand
their motivations, experiences, and perceptions. To find and enlist
participants who satisfied the inclusion requirements, a purposive sampling
technique was used. A wide range of middle-aged adults were interviewed
in-depth, guaranteeing representation from different genders, socioeconomic
backgrounds, and professional fields. After the interviews were verbatim
transcribed and audio recorded, thematic analysis was used to detect recurrent
themes and patterns in the participant narratives. The impact of social support
networks on well-being, the intrinsic motivation to help others, and the
personal growth and fulfillment that come from prosocial acts were among the
common themes that emerged from the preliminary findings. Through their
narratives, the participants shared their experiences of empathy, prosocial
behavior, and the difficulties they faced. Policymakers, non-governmental
organizations, and community organizations will be able to use the findings
practically when creating programs and interventions that encourage prosocial
behavior and improve the well-being of community members.
