| Sumario: | This study aimed to gather evidence on altruism as a personality trait. Participants were 438 people,equally divided into respondents and their informants. They completed the following instruments: SelfinformedScale of Altruism, Gratitude Questionnaire, Willingness to Forgive Scale, and SocialDesirability Scale, in addition to demographic questions. The informants responded as if they were therespondents. Results indicated convergence of the factor structure and reliability of the measure ofaltruism, verifying correlation between the self and other-informed measures of altruism as well as aconsistent pattern of association of their scores with those in willingness to forgive. In conclusion, thereis evidence of the altruism as a personality trait, independent of situational context, being its measuredissociated from social desirability. |
